Foods That Banish Car Sickness and Headaches
Car sickness is the enemy of anyone who travels long distances: dreading a trip because of motion sickness, getting a headache or feeling dizzy just thinking about the car... If that sounds familiar, try the foods below to ease the nightmare. Get past the dread so you can travel everywhere you want!
1. Fresh ginger
Ginger is very easy to find, and besides its many wonderful properties, it is also the enemy of whatever makes you carsick. Drink a cup of ginger tea about an hour before you set off: ginger warms the stomach and fights nausea and headaches on the road.
2. Lemons, oranges and tangerines
Holding a piece of lemon, orange or tangerine peel in your mouth is a highly effective trick that many people use. Simply keep a slice of peel in your mouth while you travel. One word of caution: never eat the peel – just hold it in your mouth for the journey, because the peel of these fruits is very acidic and can harm your stomach.
3. Plain water
Drinking 1 liter of plain water before getting in the car is another effective way to fight car sickness. Water keeps you from getting dehydrated, which helps reduce nausea. It's the simplest method of all, yet very effective. Give it a try!
4. Bread
Plain bread is easy to digest; eating a little before the trip settles the stomach and eases nausea.
5. Cookies
Eating cookies reduces the amount of saliva and fluid in the stomach, which helps prevent nausea. Pack a few cookies for the journey: they stop you getting hungry or peckish and are also very good for people who get carsick. Cookies flavored with raisins, strawberry, chocolate and so on are a good choice.
Give the methods above a try. Car sickness pills work, but taking them too often over a long period can do real harm to your body. Prevention by natural means is the best way to look after ourselves.
