Nausea is an unpleasant part of holiday trips. However, it can be avoided by following certain rules and using medicines in a timely manner. So how to prevent motion sickness? Sleep well before the trip, do not travel on an empty stomach, but do not overeat and give up very rich and difficult-to-digest meals. Do not drink alcohol or fizzy drinks. It is recommended to drink dilute fruit juices. Do not smoke or read.

Do not look out of the side window and, if possible, sit in the front of the vehicle and look ahead. There are also the smallest swings in the aircraft in the forward part, and on the ship look for spaces in the middle of the lower deck, which is the least mobile. If you can choose, you prefer to travel at night when your eyes are more or less resting. At the first signs of nausea, open the window in the car or bus and concentrate, take slow breaths, breathe deeply through your nose and then drink water. However, the most effective is the use of an anti-motion sickness drug.
