As airlines have cut back on serving food, airports are filling the void. Kao što su kompanijama rez natrag na serviranje hrane, aerodromi su punjenje praznine. And, more often than not, they are filling that void with calorie-laden comfort food. I, više nego često ne, oni su za punjenje koji nevažeće s kalorijski natovaren comfort food. Something to perk travelers up. Something to ohol putnika gore.

McDonald's, čak je najavio planove staviti prehrambene informacije o svojim wrappings (iako bi se moglo tvrditi da primaju prehrambene informacije nakon što ste kupili vaš predmet je malo kasno).

Centar za znanost u javnom interesu, mjereno zakuska nude Southwest Airlines i ustanovili da oni mali kolačići i krekeri sadrže više od 25% kalorija na dan za bijelo brašno, mast, šećer i sol.

In almost every piece of research I've seen, travelers rate fitness centers as the most or second-most important amenity when traveling. U gotovo svaki komad istraživanja sam vidio, putnici stopa fitness centrima kao većina ili drugi najvažniji ugodnost kad ste na putovanju. In fact, an overwhelming number of travelers responded that they booked a hotel in large part if it had a fitness center and/or pool. U stvari, mnogo putnika je odgovorio da su oni rezervirali hotel u velikom dijelu ako je fitness centar, i / ili bazen. But the actual utilization rate?how many of the guests actually use the facilities?is a disheartening six percent ? No, stvarna stopa iskorištenja? Koliko gostiju zapravo koristiti sadržaje? Je obeshrabrujuće šest posto? or less. ili manje.

One study concludes that those with jet lag don't just eat at irregular times, they eat larger-than-normal portions. Jedna studija zaključuje da one s jet lag ne samo jesti u nepravilnim puta, oni jedu veće-nego-normalan dijelova. The worst part is the link between sleep deprivation and weight gain: The brain may send out false signals of hunger. Najgori dio je veza između sna i debljanje: mozak svibanj poslati lažne signale gladi. And therein lies a big problem among travelers?combine a rigorous travel schedule and sleep deprivation, and there's a direct correlation with obesity. I u njima leži veliki problem među putnicima? Kombinirati strog raspored putovanja i sna, te ima direktni korelacija s pretilosti.

People who are sleep-deprived get hungry. Ljudi koji su lišeni sna-doći gladni. When we restrict sleep duration in healthy, lean, normal adults, we quickly observe two alterations. Kada smo ograničiti trajanje u zdrav san, mršav, normalan odrasli, brzo smo promatrati dvije izmjene. Leptin, the hormone that regulates appetite and promotes satiety, the feeling of fullness, decreases. Leptin, hormon koji regulira apetit i potiče sitost, osjećaj punine, smanjuje. (When leptin levels are high, you feel satiated. If you're feeling hungry, your leptin levels have dropped). (Kada leptin su visoke razine, osjećaš sit. Ako ste osjećaj gladan, vaš leptin razine su pale). That, coupled with increased levels of ghrelin, the hunger hormone, sends false signals to the brain that you're starving. To, zajedno s povećanim razinama ghrelin, hormon gladi, šalje lažne signale do mozga da ste gladovali. Hunger increases even when your caloric intake has been more than sufficient. Glad povećava čak i kada je vaš unos kalorija je bila više nego dovoljna.

Solution: Rješenje:

In the end, it's not just about jet lag, or how well you adjust. Na kraju, to je ne samo o jet lag, ili koliko dobro namjestiti. It's really all about sleep deprivation and how that affects your ability to think clearly, and in particular, how it affects your brain's ability to allow you to register how hungry you are versus how hungry you feel. It's really all about sna i kako to utječe na vašu sposobnost da misle jasno, a posebice, kako to utječe na vašu sposobnost mozga da Vam omogućiti da se registrirate kako si gladna gladna u odnosu kako se osjećate. My advice for jet lag hunger pains? Moj savjet za jet lag bolova glad? Water, and lots of it. Vode, i puno toga.
