How To
How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise
Wearing a hat on a cruise will help you avoid getting seasick. By keeping the head in a fixed position, a wide-brimmed hat prevents motion sickness.
Also, a cap keeps water off the skin and helps to reduce the moisture content of the air. 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 our bodies, which makes it difficult for fluid to move around in our stomachs. Salt levels can be decreased by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead 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.
These are just some of the possible ways to reduce seasickness. Side effects of some medications include dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation and blurred vision.
