How To
How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise
You can avoid seasickness by wearing a cap while on cruise. A wide-brimmed cap helps to prevent motion sickness by keeping your head from moving too much.
The hat keeps water from the face and reduces the moisture in the air. This allows people who are prone to dizziness from inhaling moist air to breathe more easily.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the liver, causing fluid to pool in the stomach. Drinking enough liquids will help reduce the amount of salt in the bloodstream. Salt can cause the body to retain water, leading to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. 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. 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.
