Question
Hello,

Cheerio from London!

I have taken nearly a year off from work to do some traveling and generally laze about, and am soon to return to a very busy, hectic job. Among my many responsibilities will be to travel extensively around Europe and from Europe to the US, visiting as many as three cities in three days on some occasions. Although jet lag is somewhat of a concern for the US trips, most of the trips are short-haul and the time difference is only an hour or two. I am more concerned about general fatigue from flying and being constantly on the move. I am a generally high energy person but I sometimes find flying to be very drying and tiring, and I will be alone in various hotel rooms trying to eat right, hunched over my laptop.

I wonder if you might recommend some herbs or vitamins that I might take to keep my immunity and energy levels balanced and to mitigate the effects of being a modern workaholic?

Many thanks

Zachary from London

Hi Zachary,
If you are going to abuse your body in this way, no supplement can reverse it. Work out a less abusive schedule, eat right and supplement with a regular multivitamin.
