How To
How to avoid getting seasick on a cruise
A hat can help prevent seasickness when you cruise. A wide-brimmed cap helps to prevent motion sickness by keeping your head from moving too much.
A hat can also keep water off the head, decreasing the amount of moisture in the air. This makes it easier to breathe for those who experience dizziness when inhaled moist air.
Another tip: Drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate your body, making it more difficult for fluids to move around in your stomach. Salt levels can be decreased by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body's retention of water, which can lead to nausea.
Salty foods can help if you feel nauseated. Salty foods stimulate the stomach to produce higher levels of hydrochloric acid. This helps to break down food particles.
If none of these tips work, there are medications you can take to relieve seasickness. 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.
