How To
How to avoid getting seasick on a cruise
You can avoid seasickness by wearing a cap while on cruise. Wide-brimmed caps prevent motion sickness and keep the head from moving too often.
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. 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 make the stomach produce more hydrochloric Acid, which is helpful in breaking 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.
