When I discussed the best cabins on a ship the other day according to their location, I recommended that you choose one that is closest to the waterline and in the center if you are prone to seasickness. And now, I'll give you some other tips and tricks to avoid getting seasick, or when getting off the boat, since it is also very common to suffer some kind of imbalance when leaving the ship, especially if you are cruising on a sailboat.
At the slightest feeling of dizziness the first thing is to sit on the floor, close your eyes and take a deep breath. It is shown that if you can control your breathing, you can avoid vomiting, and even nausea. In addition, sometimes knowing that we are going to get dizzy, or that it has happened to us before, is the main cause of it happening again.
Try to keep your well ventilated cabin, for this choose one that has a balcony. And if you get dizzy being inside lie in bed on your back, close your eyes and put a small pillow under your head. Avoid moving your head, either side to side or up and down.
Forget about reading whether in a book, magazine, computer, tablet, or even on your phone, it is you better listen to music, because this will serve as a distraction.
Remember that being well hydrated always prevents dizziness, and taking citrus fruits, Lemon, tangerine or orange juices alleviate discomfort. As for food, I'm not going to tell you anything you don't know, avoid heavy meals and eat more often and in small amounts, but do not stop feeding, because on an empty stomach it is easier to get dizzy.
I hope that with these tips you can avoid dizziness on board a boat, but if you want to know why it occurs, I recommend that you read this article.
