How To
How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise
Wearing a hat on a cruise will help you avoid getting seasick. A wide-brimmed head hat can prevent motion sickness. It keeps the head still and helps keep it from moving.
A hat also keeps water off the face, reducing the air's moisture. This makes breathing easier for people prone to feeling dizzy when they breathe in moist air.
Another tip: Drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the liver, causing fluid to pool in the stomach. The amount of salt in the bloodstream can be reduced by drinking enough liquids. Salt can cause the body to retain water, leading to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods stimulate the stomach to produce higher levels of hydrochloric acid. This helps to break down food particles.
There are medication options available to help 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.
