How To
How to avoid getting seasick on a cruise
You can avoid seasickness by wearing a cap while on 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 allows people who are prone to dizziness from inhaling moist air to breathe more easily.
Another tip is that you should drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the body causing more fluid to move around in the stomach. Consuming enough fluids can help lower the salt levels in your bloodstream. Salt causes the body to retain water which leads to nausea.
If you do feel nauseous, try eating something salty. Salty foods can cause your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acids, which aids in breaking down food particles.
These tips may not work. There are other medications that can be used to treat seasickness. You should be aware that side effects can include dry mouth and constipation as well as headaches.
