How To
How to avoid seasickness while on cruise
A hat can help prevent seasickness when you cruise. By keeping the head in a fixed position, a wide-brimmed hat prevents motion sickness.
Also, a hat helps keep water off your face, which reduces the humidity. People who feel dizzy from breathing in moist air can breathe easier.
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. Salt levels can be decreased by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body's retention of water, which can lead to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods can cause your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acids, which aids in breaking down food particles.
These tips may not work. There are other medications that can be used to treat seasickness. Side effects of some medications include dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation and blurred vision.
