What is recommended to minimize seasickness symptoms?

  1. Drink alcohol

  2. Stay below deck

  3. Stay on deck and focus on the horizon

  4. Eat heavy meals

The correct answer is: Stay on deck and focus on the horizon

Staying below deck (option B) may seem like a good idea to avoid the rocking motion of the boat, but it can actually make things worse by increasing feelings of confinement and disorientation. Drinking alcohol (option A) can also make seasickness symptoms worse by causing dehydration and impacting balance. Eating heavy meals (option D) can lead to nausea and discomfort, making it harder to deal with seasickness. Therefore, the recommended option is to stay on deck and focus on the horizon (option C). This allows for fresh air and a steady visual point to help combat motion sickness.
