Travel Sickness and How to Deal With It

For those of us that get sick when abroad, it is just typical! You have all year round to be sick and then the one week that you are away from your mundane and boring life you can guarantee that the bugs will bite! There are plenty of common ailments that can strike whilst you are elsewhere, and perhaps travel sickness is the first you have to contend with. Travel sickness can weaken the body and leave you more susceptible to illness. However, because you only get one chance to go away, it is essential that you cope with travel sickness as and when it happens rather than waiting.

Believe it or not, travel sickness actually happens to between 60% and 80% of the world's population at one time or another. Fortunately for those individuals that fly, it happens to most people while travelling in a car, but that is not to say that travel sickness does not apply on a plane! It does. If you start to feel dizzy or sick whilst flying then you are almost certainly experiencing travel sickness. There are things that you can do to prepare yourself in an attempt to avoid travel sickness in advance though:

• Avoid eating heavy, greasy, salty and spicy foods before you go. These will just serve to saturate and unsettle the stomach.
• Avoid drinking the night before flying to ensure that you are in good health when you take off! Getting drunk the night before may be a great way to see you off, but not if it makes you ill on the plane!
• Take some time to relax because anxiety can increase the problem. Your nerves can quite easily cause breathing problems, which could then lead to vomiting so make sure that you take your time and breathe!
• When you are flying and feel as though you are going to be ill, do not read or look downwards in any way because this will serve to disorientate you. However, you should keep moving so take a walk up the aisle every now and again.
• Drink plenty of water. This will keep sickness at bay somewhat because you are replacing the fluid that you are sweating and perhaps vomiting out. Water will also avoid unsettling your stomach, but carbonated drinks and acidic drinks like juices will upset the balance.

If you do happen to experience travel sickness or other illness when abroad, natural cures such as peppermint and ginger root can help you to fight nausea and calm your stomach. There are also some anti-sickness pills that may prove to be effective that you can purchase from a pharmacy. However, you should always drink plenty of water to re-hydrate your body and visit a doctor if symptoms do not abate for upwards of 24 hours.

The symptoms of male yeast infection include bad breath, constipation, bloating, frequent intestinal gas, indigestion, frequent diarrhea, sexual dysfunction, mood swings and irritability, lack of energy or fatigue, memory loss, flaky dry itchy skin, jock itch, athlete feet and problems related to the prostate.

Most of the folks develop a habit of having pastas, sweets, and chips etc, all these food items contribute to these male yeast infections and quite likely you will feed it until you notice the infections to a greater extent. The simple test to check out whether you have the male yeast infection is to spit two times in a glass of water as soon as you wake up in the early morning, even before you get out of the bed. Check out the glass after 15 minutes and see whether your spit dissolved and disappeared into the water. If the spit dissolves and disappears in water it indicates that you are not infected.

However, if the spit in the glass becomes cloudy, sinks to bottom, with strings, appearing like web of the spider, it indicates that you are affected with yeast infections. After 30 minutes, if there is residue in the bottom of the vessel it indicates that you are affected with parasites and it is necessary to start the treatment at the earliest. In some cases, you can predict in first five minutes of time.

Firstly sugar intake has to be controlled, and then you must avoid consumptions of yeast foods, soy foods, dairy, tuna, shellfish, swordfish, fructose, aspartame, trans-fats and splenda, so as to cure yeast infections, or otherwise to prevent them. Eating more white meat and vegetables is preferable than pork and beef. You should also drink more water daily, which is free from fluorides and chlorine. Ensure that the food you take should contain more vegetables and have white meat instead of going for beef and pork type of meats.
