10. Stay Upright After Eating<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nausea doesn\u2019t always have a serious or medical cause. It can sometimes be something as simple as your posture<\/a>, or the position you are sitting or sleeping in that causes it.\u00a0 Some people like to rest and lie down to take a nap after a meal. This might seem like a good way to let your food digest and rest, but it can actually cause nausea and an upset stomach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you lie down, the acids in your stomach that break down food can flow backward. This can cause severe nausea and stomach pain. Some people even experience a burning sensation in their stomachs and throats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try standing while you eat or right after you finish. If you can\u2019t stand to try sitting up straight with better posture. Some people are also able to find relief by standing up and moving around after eating, even if they have already started to feel nauseous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Your stomach may hurt, and you may experience cramping and nausea. When you are nauseous, the last thing you want to do is drink something, especially water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since nausea is often accompanied by vomiting<\/a>, you may become more dehydrated as time goes on. It\u2019s important to drink plenty of liquids if you are throwing up or feeling nauseous. If you don\u2019t want to drink water or feel like it\u2019s not helping nausea, try drinking other thin, clear liquids such as chicken broth or Gatorade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you throw up the drink, you should still continue to sip liquids until nausea subsides. If you feel like you have drunk plenty of liquids and still feel nauseous or can\u2019t keep any liquids down, seek medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

12. Yoga<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you suffer from chronic nausea, it\u2019s a good idea to try a few different things to see which ones will make it go away. One of the things to try is yoga. Yoga has a lot of benefits, both mental and physical. It can help improve your posture, breathing, and muscle tension, which can have an effect on chronic nausea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing yoga before you feel nauseous can help. If you notice that you feel nauseous during a certain time of day, try doing yoga before that time. If you feel nauseous in the morning, do yoga <\/a>as soon as you wake up or even try it before you go to bed. You can try it before and after meals to see if it helps too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga can also help treat other health problems that can cause nausea, such as acid reflux and constipation. Yoga at all levels can be beneficial, so don\u2019t be afraid to try it even if you have never done it before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

13. Avoid Fatty Foods<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fatty foods might taste good when you eat them, but they could be the cause of your nausea. If you are experiencing nausea after you eat, your diet could be the cause. You might think you are eating healthy, but there may be trans fats in the foods you eat, which can cause nausea. If you are suffering from nausea caused by fatty foods, you can try a more bland diet to see if it provides relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods that are easy on the stomach, such as rice, applesauce<\/a>, and plain crackers may help. You don\u2019t have to stick to these foods forever, but it\u2019s important to try them for a few days to see if the nausea improves. If it does, you will know that the fatty foods are what cause it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These bland foods can also help if you have been vomiting and are still feeling nauseous. If you are hungry but know you can\u2019t keep a full meal down, bland foods can help ease your hunger pains without making the nausea return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

14. Bananas <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bananas <\/a>are healthy snacks that have a lot of benefits. Most people don\u2019t realize that bananas can help fight nausea. They are bland food that helps settle an upset stomach and also prevents cramping. If you are suffering from an upset stomach and afraid that you can\u2019t keep anything down due to nausea, you can try eating a banana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only do bananas help keep you full, but they also help fight off infections and manage your blood sugar levels, which may be rising or dropping suddenly, especially if you are throwing up. Eating a banana once a day can help prevent stomach problems that can lead to nausea, such as constipation and acid reflux. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They work best if you eat them plain, but some people do find some relief by adding the bananas to other foods such as smoothies, cereal, on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, or in baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
