Don't be too hungry or eat too full.
Before getting on a car or train, travelers should eat lightly instead of being hungry or overfed. Easy-to-digest dishes such as bread, porridge, bananas, or biscuits are usually more suitable during travel.
Greasy, too spicy foods or alcoholic beverages can make nausea worse when the vehicle shakes.
Choose a suitable seating position
Sitting positions can affect motion sickness or seasickness. In cars, many people often feel more comfortable sitting in front seats or near windows.
For ships, the area near the center of the hull is usually less shaky than the head or tail of the ship.
Looking into the distance, focusing on the horizon or the scenery ahead also helps reduce dizziness.
Limit continuous phone viewing
Reading books, watching phones or using electronic devices while the car is moving can cause the eyes and brain to easily lose sensory balance, thereby increasing the risk of motion sickness. Instead, visitors can listen to music, rest or close their eyes to relax during the journey.
Keep the air fresh
A stuffy space with a strong smell of gasoline or food easily makes nausea more obvious. Travelers should prioritize sitting near windows or turning on the air conditioner at an appropriate level for better air circulation.
Bring ginger, mint candy or motion sickness medication
Some people choose to use ginger, ginger tea or mint candy to reduce discomfort when traveling long distances.
For people who often get motion sickness, motion sickness medication may be a supportive option. However, it should be used according to instructions and note that some medications can cause drowsiness.
Mid-break if traveling long distances
With long-duration car trips, mid-trip rest helps the body relax and reduce fatigue. Gentle walking, drinking water or breathing outside air also helps many people feel more comfortable before continuing the journey.
