New iPhone app helps summer travelers beat jet lag
CHICAGO (June 30, 2010) – In time for the summer travel season, a new iPhone app can help travelers beat jet lag.
The app, which can be downloaded at http://itunes.apple.com/app/anti-jet-lag-diet/id374119880?mt=8# creates detailed Anti-Jet-Lag diet plans tailored to a traveler's specific itinerary.
The app was developed for AntiJetLagDiet.com LLC, Downers Grove, Ill., under an exclusive license from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, by Rapid Rocket Software LLC of Monona, Wisc.
Based on the famous Argonne Anti-Jet-Lag Diet, developed by Argonne biologists, the app is priced at $7.99. It is the first iPhone app based on research conducted at Argonne.
A study published in 2002 in the medical journal Military Medicine found that travelers who use the Argonne Anti-Jet-Lag Diet are seven times less likely to experience jet lag when traveling west and 16 times less likely when traveling east. A copy of the study is online at www.AntiJetLagDiet.com.
"Anyone traveling across three or more time zones can use the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet to eliminate or reduce jet lag," said Dave Baurac of AntiJetLagDiet.com, LLC. "The Argonne Anti-Jet-Lag Diet maintains our healthy cellular rhythms by using the same natural time cues that nature uses. Examples include meal contents and timing, as well as daily cycles of light, dark, activity and rest." Jet lag symptoms include feelings of irritability, insomnia, indigestion and general disorientation that occur when the body's inner clock is out of step with these environmental time cues.
Invented by Charles Ehret, an Argonne biologist whose career was devoted to the study of daily biological rhythms in a variety of organisms from paramecia to mammals, the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet has helped hundreds of thousands of travelers avoid jet lag.
Since 1982, Argonne has provided information about the Anti-Jet-Lag Diet to President Ronald Reagan, the U.S. Army and Navy, the U.S. Secret Service, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve System, the Canadian National Swim Team; dozens of corporations, scout groups, church groups and travel groups; and hundreds of thousands of individual travelers.
Travelers who don't have iPhones can visit www.AntiJetLagDiet.com for free information on how to use the diet. For a small fee, they can use Argonne-developed software to calculate a detailed Anti-Jet-Lag Diet plan tailored to their specific itinerary. Argonne has licensed the software exclusively to AntiJetLagDiet.com LLC.
