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 breathing easier for people prone to feeling dizzy when they breathe in 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. The amount of salt in the bloodstream can be reduced by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body to retain water which leads to nausea.
You may feel nauseated if you eat something salty. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
You can also take medications to alleviate seasickness if none of these methods work. 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.
