How To
How to avoid seasickness while on cruise
Wearing a hat on a cruise will help you avoid getting seasick. Wide-brimmed caps prevent motion sickness and keep the head from moving too often.
The hat keeps water from the face and reduces the moisture in the air. This makes breathing easier for people prone to feeling dizzy when they breathe in moist air.
Another tip: Drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the body causing more fluid to move around in the stomach. The amount of salt in the bloodstream can be reduced by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body's retention of water, which can lead to nausea.
Eat something salty if your stomach is feeling nauseous. Salty foods make the stomach produce more hydrochloric Acid, which is helpful in breaking down food particles.
There are medication options available to help seasickness. Side effects of some medications include dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation and blurred vision.
