Prevention of Motion Sickness:

Preventing motion sickness is easier than treating it once it has begun. A number of precautions can provide some help.

• Place yourself where motion is the least. In a car, sit in the front seat, looking ahead. In an airplane, choose a seat over the wing. On a ship, remain at the middle of the ship (preferably on deck). In a bus, take a seat just behind the front door.

• Keep your head still and focus on the distant horizon. Close your eyes to avoid looking at fast-moving scenery or waves. Attention should be focused away from the motion of the vehicle. Reading is not recommended.

• Avoid overindulgence in food or alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to travel.
