Many people who have experienced violent motion sickness try to avoid travel. But that is not always possible.
So travelers should employ some well-known strategies to avoid getting sick.
The most useful strategy concerns food: eat a light meal before traveling and bring along a packet of plain soda crackers to snack on regularly.
Avoid alcoholic and carbonated beverages, high-fat foods, and spices. Care in choosing the location of your seat is another important strategy.
In a car, sit in the front seat.
On a plane, sit near the wings.
On a boat, sit at the front and keep your eyes fixed on the horizon.
