Do you get motion sickness?? Are you nauseous thinking about your long journey? If you or your children feel nauseous, nauseous, or dizziness when traveling, the most likely cause is motion sickness.
These symptoms occur when what your eyes see and what your body feels are not the same. Travel sickness mostly affects children, because they sit in the back seat and play video games and watch movies more than looking out the window. However, anyone can feel sick on the trip, especially if you have a special illness or are pregnant.
The following are tips to help you feel better on your next trip that Otodiva.com has quoted from UVA Health, among them namely:
- Avoid eating spicy or oily food. Also avoid eating or drinking too much, but also avoid traveling on an empty stomach. At least have breakfast first.
- Bring snacks in the car. Eat snacks every few hours so your stomach doesn't feel empty, but avoid food with a strong smell or taste.
- Drink ginger concoction. Ginger and the like help reduce nausea.
- Try to sit in the front and look out the window. Children sitting in the back seat should also look out the window often so they don't worry too much about the things they are thinking about..
- Avoid reading or watching films continuously. Your eyes will only focus on what is in front of you, but your body will feel the movement of the car. The difference between what you see and the movement you feel can make you feel nauseous.
- Breathe fresh air.
