How To
How to avoid seasickness while on cruise
You can avoid seasickness by wearing a cap while on cruise. A wide-brimmed head hat can prevent motion sickness. It keeps the head still and helps keep it from moving.
Also, a hat helps keep water off your face, which reduces the humidity. This makes it easier to breathe for those who experience dizziness when inhaled moist air.
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. A sufficient amount of liquids will reduce salt levels. Salt can cause the body to retain water, leading to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods make the stomach produce more hydrochloric Acid, which is helpful in breaking down food particles.
These tips may not work. There are other medications that can be used to treat seasickness. Side effects may include dry mouth or constipation, blurred eyes, headaches, dry mouth, dry eye, dry nose, dry mouth, dry stomach, dry mouth, dry vision, dry cough, and dry eyes.
