However, it\u2019s important to leave home healthy and well rested. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bobeckmedia.com\/aesu\/travel-tips\/celebrate-world-environment-day-with-4-eco-friendly-travel-tips\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traveling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> across the globe can be stressful, and flying, in general, can take its toll on your immune system. Adhere to the 48-hour rule, and use the two days before your flight to prepare for the journey ahead. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of water, and eat a well-balanced diet. Your mind and body will be ready to tackle the long flight when the day comes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a Nap and Mentally Prepare\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be sucked in by the bright light of in-flight entertainment. Use the flight time to catch up on your sleep, even if you already feel well rested. By taking a short nap, your body is able to recharge after the stresses of airport navigation and security screening. Once you wake up, set your wristwatch for your destination time zone so you can mentally prepare for the day (or evening) ahead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skip the Coffee\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you land, you\u2019ll want to succumb to the alluring scent of roasting coffee beans. Wait until tomorrow, and drink water or a beverage with electrolytes for now. Caffeine may wake you up, but it will also dehydrate you and make it harder to fall asleep. Drinking water is a great way to boost your body\u2019s immune system and acclimate to the new time zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go for a Walk!\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re settled in your hotel, slip on your walking shoes and head outside! Exercise stimulates blood flow and encourages healthy circulation. Not only does moving around reduce the effects of jet lag, but it also allows you to explore your destination. Walk to a nearby park, explore a local cafe, and revitalize your body with an enjoyable meal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel the World with AESU!<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AESU offers unique, thrilling travel programs for college students and young professionals at affordable rates.
