		Motion sickness got you worried sick about your next vacation? Over-the-counter drugs or wristbands may help some people get over motion sickness, but there are other home remedies and precautions that are also worth a try: Don’t travel on an empty stomach. Take along snacks to eat every couple of hours. Avoid fatty, greasy meals during travel, which may prompt nausea. Try a high-protein liquid drink rather than a high-carbohydrate one to reduce nausea. If you are traveling by car, try to be the driver or sit in the front seat. A dose of ginger can also calm uneasy stomachs.
