How To
How to avoid getting seasick on a cruise
A hat is the best way to prevent seasickness while on cruise. By keeping the head in a fixed position, a wide-brimmed hat prevents motion sickness.
Also, a hat helps keep water off your face, which reduces the humidity. This makes it easier for people who feel dizzy when they breathe in moist, humid 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. Consuming enough fluids can help lower the salt levels in your bloodstream. Salt causes the body to retain water which leads to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods stimulate the stomach to produce higher levels of hydrochloric acid. This helps to break down food particles.
There are medication options available to help 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.
