How can I keep the old man from getting carsick and want to take his grandmother out for a trip? What should I do?

Dear, it's New Year's Eve tonight, and I'll pay a New Year call to you. You are so filial and carsick. This can also be done by preparing before getting on the bus. Especially the elderly need special care.

Don't eat too much before getting on the bus.

Eating something before getting on the bus is good for preventing carsickness, but don't eat too much and be too greasy. Michael Zimlin, director of the Department of Field and Travel Medicine at Baltimore Charity Medical Center, pointed out: "The more you eat, the more greasy you are, the more likely you are to feel sick and vomit." Before getting on the bus, you can eat some light and nutritious foods, such as nuts, yogurt and other snacks rich in protein.

2. Drink plenty of water.

Zimlin said: "Replenishing water is very important for the operation of various functions of the body, and of course it also helps to improve the synchronous function of motor receptors. I often advise people with a history of carsickness to drink plenty of water before getting on the bus. "

3. Drive by yourself as much as possible.

When you are sitting in a rocking car, your inner ear will tell your brain that your body is moving. However, if you stare at the seat in front of you, your eyes will tell your brain that your body is not moving. When the brain receives opposite signals from different sensors, this mismatch will make people carsick.

The study found that carsickness is very rare among drivers. Because the driver's eyes will keep a close eye on the road ahead and send a message to the brain that it is moving. If you can't drive, you can look at the road and the scenery along the way, which can greatly reduce the possibility of motion sickness.

4. Open your eyes.

Many people choose to close their eyes and rest when they get carsick. But when the eyes are closed, they are still sending static information to the brain, just the opposite of other receptors. Therefore, opening your eyes and seeing the scenery will help to relieve carsickness.

5. Don't look down at books and mobile phones.

When reading a book or using a mobile phone, it is very easy to get carsick by focusing on a fixed point.

6. Eat some ginger before getting on the bus.

Studies have shown that ginger helps to suppress carsickness. The easiest way is to eat a slice of ginger or some ginger juice sugar 30 minutes before getting on the bus.

7. Massage acupoints.

Pressing the Neiguan point of the left and right wrists (the center of the forearm, about three fingers wide above the wrist transverse stripes) for several minutes can effectively prevent motion sickness.

On that occasion, I heard an old Chinese doctor say that it was impossible to make a small bag with cinnamon powder and put it in the navel. Actually, I get carsick, too, but I don't get carsick when I'm used to sitting.
