Food has a powerful influence on our circadian rhythm.

See, eating triggers neurons and hormones that affect things like our metabolism, body temperature and blood sugar – all related to our sleep-wake cycle.

Which means just as consistent sleep and wake times are one of the biggest levers we can pull for better sleep, consistent eating windows are just as important.

Good to keep in mind for our day-to-day.

But it also gives us another tool in our jet-lag toolbox...

The earlier and faster we can shift our normal eating window to our new time zone, the easier we’ll shake jet lag.

E.g. Your normal eating window is 12pm to 8pm. You're going from Sydney to Singapore (3 hours behind). So your eating window in Sydney the day you leave is now 9am to 5pm. Hard to do. So just get as close as you can.

Might be one of the key things to focus on for our performance when travelling.
