How To
How to avoid being seasick while on a cruise
A hat is the best way to prevent seasickness while on cruise. Wide-brimmed caps prevent motion sickness and keep the head from moving too often.
Also, a cap keeps water off the skin and helps to reduce the moisture content of the air. This makes it easier to breathe for those who experience dizziness when inhaled moist air.
Another tip is to drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate your body, making it more difficult for fluids to move around in your stomach. Consuming enough fluids can help lower the salt levels in your bloodstream. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
If you do feel nauseous, try eating something salty. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
There are medication options available to help seasickness. You should be aware that side effects can include dry mouth and constipation as well as headaches.
