Seasickness
Sailing
1. get a good night's sleep on board
If you get seasick easily, you should get a good night’s sleep before starting your journey. Because if you don’t get enough sleep, travel sickness is practically pre-programmed, especially for sensitive people.
2. a snack before it's time to cast off!
Before you set sail, you should reach for light snacks. Fruit, rusks or salad are ideal. Avoid fatty foods and alcohol. Incidentally, an empty stomach also reacts sensitively to the swell. A healthy balance is therefore required here – and this also applies during the cruise.
3. reliable and practical: Superpep® Travel Chewing Gum Dragées 20 mg
The only chewing gum for travel sickness: Superpep® Travel Chewing Gum Dragées 20 mg. Low-dose, gentle and suitable for children from 6 years and adults. Those who prefer travel tablets can use the higher-dose Superpep® tablets 50 mg.
4. all hands on deck
Apart from the fact that you prefer to lean against the railing all day on a boat trip anyway, it also makes sense to spend time on deck to prevent seasickness. Look at the horizon and follow the moving surroundings with your eyes – then the visual sensory impression will coincide with your vestibular system. It usually rocks the most at the front – it is better to stay in the middle of the ship.
5. no sailor's yarn: avoid salami and red wine in case of seasickness
It’s an old seafaring adage that is certainly justified: Those who sail the seas should avoid red wine and salami. The reason lies in the high histamine content of these foods. Histamine is a messenger substance that stimulates the vomiting center in the brain and plays a central role in the development of travel sickness. Restraint is therefore required here.
