Fast Flights

There has been some recent research reported on NPR and on various web sites that you can recover from jet-lag more quickly if you fast yourself for sixteen hours. The article quotes all sorts of medical jargon like “circadian clock”, but I suspect that this an elaborate ruse to allow the airlines to stop serving food on trans-continental flights. I can be very picky about the medical advice I accept, despite the suspicious origin, I believe the University of Bordeaux’s research into the health benefits of red wine.
