How To

How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise

A hat can help prevent seasickness when you cruise. A wide-brimmed hat helps prevent motion sickness by keeping the head from moving too much.

Also, a cap keeps water off the skin and helps to reduce the moisture content of the air. This makes it easier to breathe for those who experience dizziness when inhaled moist air.

Another tip is to drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the liver, causing fluid to pool in the 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.

You may feel nauseated if you eat something salty. Salty foods can cause your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acids, which aids in breaking down food particles.

You can also take medications to alleviate seasickness if none of these methods work. You should be aware that side effects can include dry mouth and constipation as well as headaches.
