KEEP A LEMON IN YOUR KITCHEN...AND OTHER WAYS TO REDUCE NAUSEA |
|
Print this Recipe Nausea can be very unpleasant and unsettling. Nausea is a direct side effect for many on chemotherapy or radiation, but there are ways to reduce it. Try these tips: 1. Take nausea medication. Only take what your doctor prescribes, and work with him or her to find the most effective medication for you. The right medication will help you eat better, eat more and stay well hydrated. 2. Keep citrus fruits around. Keep a lemon in your kitchen or at your desk, and pick it up and sniff it every once in a while. For more citrus power, cut the lemon and squeeze a few drops of juice into your water glass. Add ice and water. Every time you take a sip of water, you will feel refreshed! Don't have a lemon? Try a lime or an orange. 3. Eat foods that smell good to you. Aroma is directly linked to taste. If a certain food smells good, it will most likely taste good to you, too. 4. Sip or drink liquids slowly and often throughout the day Extra liquids are important, and if you drink them slowly, they can help ease the nausea and relax you. 5. Eat dry toast or crackers. Even before getting up, nibble on crackers from your bedside table if you have nausea in the morning. 6. Wear loose-fitting clothes. Anything too tight, particularly around your tummy, may worsen or trigger nausea. 7. Avoid eating for 1 to 2 hours before chemotherapy or radiation. 8. Eat small amounts and more frequently. Eating mini-meals or snacks more often throughout the day instead of three large meals may lessen feelings of nausea. 9. Eat before you get hungry. Hunger can actually make the nausea feel much worse. Try to keep something small in your stomach, even if it's just a cracker. 10. Sit up for about an hour after meals. Lying down too quickly after a meal can increase nausea or discomfort and interfere with digestion. From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook." Text Copyright 2005 General Mills, Inc.
