Motion sickness is a form of sickness that occurs among quite a
number of people when they feel nauseous, dizzy, fatigue or symptoms
of vomiting due to the changes and imbalance of equilibrium in the
inner ear. When this happens the person will feel discomfort.
There are a few ways to reduce the chances of getting airsickness
and this includes:
- Staying hydrated
- Not consuming alcohol before the flight
- Taking a meal that is low in sodium and fat.
- Understanding what our bodies are capable of should be taken into consideration when planning and scheduling flight plans.
- If the person is unable to withstand long flights, it might be better to take stopovers to allow the body to rest from the flight.
When preparing for a trip it might be good to pack some medication
to help with motion sickness. These medicine, pills or tablets can be
bought in regular drug stores and there are unproven remedies out
there that do work for some. Consuming ginger or pressure therapy may
help in some cases but it is not for everybody.
If one is afflicted with airsickness:
- Stop reading and try to relax.
- Pack some sick sacks in case of nausea or vomiting.
- Have a meal an hour before the flight so it reduces the need to eat during the flight and decreases nausea; it also allows the food to be slightly digested before boarding.
- Rest or nap
Getting checked up with the physician before a trip is another
option to figure out the cause of airsickness for the individual as
everyone is different. This aids in prevention of forcing oneself to
endure the ordeal of having to tough out a plane ride.
With that, we hope that these small tips will help those who
encounter plane sickness. Till the next post, have a safe and
pleasant trip!!
