How To
How to avoid seasickness while on cruise
Wearing a hat on a cruise will help you avoid getting seasick. A wide-brimmed hat helps prevent motion sickness by keeping the head from moving too much.
The hat keeps water from the face and reduces the moisture in the air. This makes it easier to breathe for those who experience dizziness when inhaled moist air.
Another tip is to drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate our bodies, which makes it difficult for fluid to move around in our stomachs. Drinking enough liquids will help reduce the amount of salt in the bloodstream. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
Salty foods can help if you feel nauseated. Salty foods cause the stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid, which helps break down food particles in the digestive system.
If none of these tips work, there are medications you can take to relieve seasickness. Be aware that some medications may have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and headaches.
