How To
How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise
The best way to avoid seasickness on a cruise is by wearing a hat. A wide-brimmed head hat can prevent motion sickness. It keeps the head still and helps keep it from moving.
Also, a hat helps keep water off your face, which reduces the humidity. This makes breathing easier for people prone to feeling dizzy when they breathe in 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's retention of water, which can lead to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods increase the production of hydrochloric, which helps to break down food.
You can also take medications to alleviate seasickness if none of these methods work. Some medications can cause side effects like dry mouth, dryness, constipation, blurred sight, headaches, dry lips, dry skin, dry gums, dry lips, constipation, dry eyes, dry throat, dry skin, and constipation.
