A few suggestions:
- start adjusting your sleep patterns and meal schedule to those of your destination
- get a good rest before you leave
- move around as much as possible during the flight
- don't drink any alcoholic beverages
- drink lots of water (to rehydrate your body during flight)
- try to relax before and during the flight

Your best bet is to go to bed around 9 or 10 PM local time and set the alarm clock to go off around dawn or shortly thereafter. You should work hard on rehydrating yourself the first day and it helps to stay active and not nap. Eat at the local meal time and get some tea or coffee mid-afternoon to get you over that hump. I think that it's easier to adjust going to your destination as the long flight is usually exhausting and you're glad to collapse at the end of the day. For me, it's really important not to sleep too much so I open the blinds in the room after I'm ready for bed (if it's safe) so that the sunshine wakes me up.

Once you have it, there isn't much you can do. However, there are some things you can do to help prevent it. First, and foremost, drink lots of water during the flight and avoid alcohol and caffeine (both are dehydrants.) Eat the light entree if you have a choice (ie, fish instead of beef.) When you land, adjust to the new time zone. In other words, stay up until their bedtime, not yours and get up on their time the next morning. Eat regularly and exercise at your normal rate. Hope that helps!!

Get rid of?Hmmm.....
Take a brisk walk to get the circulation going again.
(or jog or skip rope in place)
If possible, get out into the sun. Bright light helps reset the internal rhythm.
Drink lots of water.
Take a steam bath or sauna to get rid of any toxins in your body.
Instead of napping, an early bedtime, close to the local time zone is good.
Keep your regular exercise routine if you can.
*** I learned to avoid it. It helps when you have a lot to do soon as you hit the ground***

Sleep as much as you can inside the flight and try to eat according to the time of destination.
