Motion sickness can occur on pretty much any moving vessel, from a boat to a standard car or a party bus. It can include a variety of symptoms, including dizziness, cold sweat, and nausea or vomiting. Some people tend to be prone to motion sickness, while others can mostly avoid these symptoms. If you’re planning a trip or event where you’re worried about this issue, here are some aspects that might help.

3 Tips for Preventing Motion Sickness

1. Look at the Horizon

Seeing a steady point off in the distance can help you feel like you’re moving a bit less. If possible, choose a seat near the front of the vehicle or near a window so you can easily see outside. Avoid reading or staring at your phone for long periods, so you can focus on the view to create a sense of steady movement.

2. Take Preventive Medicine

An antihistamine or anti-motion sickness medicine can minimize the impact of movement on your stomach. Read all the drug labels and prepare for side effects, like drowsiness. In most cases, it’s a good idea to take medicine about an hour before your travels begin.

3. Avoid Foods & Drinks That Upset Your Stomach

Spicy foods, extra grease, and alcohol can all lead to inflammation of the stomach lining. This shouldn’t lead to motion sickness on its own, but it can exacerbate symptoms. If you know you’re going to be traveling or on the road for a long period of time, try to avoid any food or drinks that you know can lead to an upset stomach.
