24 Tips For Coping With Motion Sickness On Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Suffer from motion sickness? Do you ever get motion sickness? No worries, we have some tips for you to cope with motion sickness on planes, trains, and automobiles.

We travel by car, bus, train, plane, boat, and other means, but we always travel by vehicle to our destination, don't we?

Traveling is fun, but for those who suffer from motion sickness, it can be a painful part of an otherwise enjoyable trip....

In this issue, we will introduce measures to prevent motion sickness.

Why do people get motion sickness?

Humans maintain a sense of balance through the semicircular canals, an organ in the inner ear.The sense of equilibrium captured by the semicircular canals is transmitted to the brain for processing.

However, when too much information is transmitted from the semicircular canals to the brain due to the irregular shaking and speed of the vehicle, the brain cannot keep up with the processing and the autonomic nervous system is disturbed, causing motion sickness symptoms such as cold sweats and stomach discomfort.

There are individual differences in how the brain processes these symptoms, so some people are more resistant to motion sickness than others, and some people get drunk more quickly.

Also, even people who do not normally get motion sickness may be triggered by smells or physical conditions. Now that we have established the causes of motion sickness, let's consider countermeasures.

Physical Condition and Condition

First of all, take measures by getting yourself in good physical condition!

Depending on the measures you take, you may not get car sickness or seasickness, or it may become less severe.

1. Avoid a full stomach and an empty stomach

Everything is better on an "eight-pack" stomach!

2. Do not drink too much alcohol the day before or beforehand.

It will add motion sickness to alcohol sickness....

3. Get a good night's sleep the day before.

*Lack of sleep is the source of not only carsickness and seasickness,
but also physical illness!

4. Wear loose-fitting clothes that do not constrict your body.

Be especially careful not to constrict your stomach or waist area,
as this will make you more susceptible to sickness!

5. Unwind and relax before boarding!

Riding while feeling stiff or sluggish can have a negative impact.

Simple stretching and exercises can help!
