Foods That Help Avoid Travel Sickness

Travel experts at Panache Cruises have researched the foods which tourists can eat safely before heading off on a journey. These foods have been shown to help prevent symptoms of travel sickness, such as nausea, sweating, and dizziness.

Eating light and bland foods low in fat, spice, grease, and acid is the key to keeping your stomach at bay and the sickness away.

Unfortunately, motion sickness is common when traveling and can strike without warning.

You must remember to eat something before you travel, even if it is only a snack. Swiss Medical Services advises that traveling on an empty stomach can make you even more susceptible to motion sickness.

It may be challenging, especially when you feel nauseous and don’t fancy anything, but eating some foods can make you feel better and help with hydration.

James Cole, founder and managing director of Panache Cruises, said: “Millions of people suffer from travel sickness, and it can really cast a shadow over their holiday plans. For many, the solution may be taking a travel sickness tablet or other medication, but there are many natural foods that for centuries people have used to help them deal with motion sickness. Try to eat small portions as frequently as possible and remember to steer clear of heavy, greasy, and acidic foods as they worsen sickness because they are slower to digest.

Here are five foods that can keep travel sickness at bay:

  • Crackers- Always pack your favorite crackers whenever going on a trip. Not only do they help reduce the stomach irritation caused by acid, but their bland taste also prevents vomiting and eases travel sickness. Some light and easy-to-digest saltine crackers are strongly recommended by our experts.
  • Ginger- Ginger has always been a traditional remedy for motion sickness, especially with symptoms like nausea. Since it can easily trigger digestion and speed up the process of the GI tract, ginger significantly lessens the feelings of nausea and sweating, as widely proven by scientific research. Travelers also benefit from a variety of options: ginger tablets, biscuits, and tea.
  • Apple- Having a rich source of fiber and vitamins, apples do a great job cleaning off your stomach of nausea-inducing chemicals and easing the digestive system. However, keep in mind that eating too many at one time can reverse their positive effects.
  • Banana- Another lifesaver fruit recommended by our experts is bananas. Nausea and travel sickness are often caused by dehydration and excessive acid content in the stomach. By having this nutritious and high-in-starch fruit, travelers can feel relief from nausea right away.
  • Nuts- It is no doubt that nuts are the favorite snack of many people, thanks to the health benefits they bring. Not only packed with an abundance of protein and starch, nuts can also effectively restore your energy and defeat nausea.
