How To
How to avoid being seasick while on a 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.
Also, a cap keeps water off the skin and helps to reduce the moisture content of the air. People who feel dizzy from breathing in moist air can breathe easier.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate our bodies, which makes it difficult for fluid to move around in our stomachs. Consuming enough fluids can help lower the salt levels in your bloodstream. Salt causes the body to retain water which leads to nausea.
Salty foods can help if you feel nauseated. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
If none of these tips work, there are medications you can take to relieve seasickness. Side effects of some medications include dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation and blurred vision.
