How To
How to avoid being seasick while on a cruise
A hat is the best way to prevent seasickness while on cruise. By keeping the head in a fixed position, a wide-brimmed hat prevents motion sickness.
A hat can also keep water off the head, decreasing the amount of moisture in the air. This makes breathing easier for people prone to feeling dizzy when they breathe in moist air.
Another tip is to drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the body and make it harder for fluids to move around the stomach. Consuming enough fluids can help lower the salt levels in your bloodstream. Salt causes the body's retention of water, which can lead 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. Some medications can cause side effects like dry mouth, dryness, constipation, blurred sight, headaches, dry lips, dry skin, dry gums, dry lips, constipation, dry eyes, dry throat, dry skin, and constipation.
