Sunshine to meal times: How to beat jet lag

The article explains the science behind jet lag, describing it as a disruption caused by abrupt changes in local time that conflict with the body's internal biological clock. Dr. Nina Rzechorzek from the University of Cambridge explains that after traveling across multiple time zones, the body's internal clock remains synchronized with the departure location, causing symptoms such as disturbed sleep, daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, irritability, reduced performance, and digestive issues. The piece further elaborates on circadian rhythms, noting that almost all cells in the body have their own 24-hour clocks, which are coordinated by a central 'master clock' located in the brain. This master clock adjusts to environmental cues, particularly light and dark cycles, but can take several days to adapt to a new time zone, resulting in jet lag.
