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.
The hat keeps water from the face and reduces the moisture in the air. This makes it easier for people who feel dizzy when they breathe in moist, humid air.
Another tip: 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. Drinking enough liquids will help reduce the amount of salt in the bloodstream. The body retains water due to salt, which can lead to nausea.
Eat something salty if your stomach is feeling nauseous. Salty foods stimulate the stomach to produce higher levels of hydrochloric acid. This helps to break down food particles.
These are just some of the possible ways to reduce seasickness. Be aware that some medications may have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and headaches.
