A Sorry, but the British Airways medical team pours cold water (which, incidentally, it does advocate as a jet-lag preventative) on that theory. “There’s no medical evidence to support the drinking of carrot juice to prevent jet lag. General tips include eating and drinking sensibly, especially water, while on board. And, after landing, try to fit in with local times as quickly as possible.”
