What is the best way to prevent jet lag?

I travel a lot and its a hell of a problem

Drink lots of fluids (lots of water), get as much sleep as you can, when you can, even when you're not tired. Hope I didn't state the obvious...
Oh, and if you're really sleepy, make sure you eat well. I've heard from a lot of war veterans that you either have to eat a lot if you're tired, or sleep a lot if you're starving, you can't deprive yourself of both.

stay awake or sleep on the flight according to the time zone you are traveling to. Make good use of sunglasses and darker and lighter colors depending upon the time change. You could also take an energy drink or switch up meal times too in order to get in synch to where you're traveling to.

Immediately adopt the activities appropriate for the time of your location.
Get up at a time appropriate for your location. Do not over sleep.

Examples: If you arrive in Florida at 1 PM, go have lunch and go to the beach. If you arrive in Maine at 1 AM, go straight to bed and get up at 8 or 9 AM.
