WHAT CAUSES JET LAG AND HOW CAN IT BE PREVENTED AND CURED?

Jet lag, or desynchronosis, is a condition that’s caused by  crossing time zones during air travel. It is said to be a symptom of the disruption of the body’s circadian rhythms—i.e.,  the day/night, light/dark cycle, which controls the timing of  bodily functions such as when you sleep and eat.  Other contributing factors to jet lag are the dry atmosphere of planes and the lack of fresh air; the discomfort  caused by cramped conditions; swelling caused by cabin  pressure; the food and drink consumed in transit; and the  direction of travel.

Bottled drinking water has been marketed as  being cleaner and more pure than ordinary tap water, but,  in a recent study, a third of bottled water showed significant  chemical or bacterial contamination, including arsenic,  nitrates, carcinogenic compounds, and coliform bacteria.  Probably the bottom third; that kind of stuff tends to sink.      

Introduction: World is Dangerous Place

The world is a  frightening place.  But you already knew that; you read it in  the paper, hear about it from friends, see it  with your own eyes every time you turn on  the TV to watch bad singers or dancers  subject themselves to abuse from judges  with no more talent than the contestants, or  see a web video of a teenager shooting a  bottle rocket from his ass for amusement,  or get plowed from behind in your car by  another driver who was texting “LMAO” to  his friends instead of noticing that the light  had turned red and you had stopped.
