To prevent motion sickness, reduce head movement

Some people may experience motion sickness after sitting in a closed carriage for a long time. Experts believe that to prevent motion sickness, you should get enough sleep and rest before departure. Those with more severe symptoms should take anti-motion sickness medicine half an hour in advance, and try to reduce head movement while riding and avoid looking at fast-moving objects outside the window. If you experience motion sickness symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and vomiting, you should lie on your back with your eyes closed and apply a cold towel to your forehead. Pressing the ear points can quickly stop vomiting during motion sickness during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Don't sit in one position for a long time while riding in a car

Sitting for a long time on trains or buses during the Spring Festival travel season will slow down the blood flow in the veins of the lower limbs, making it easier to form blood clots and cause blood vessel blockage. Some of these blood clots will dissolve on their own, while others may cause myocardial infarction or pulmonary embolism. Therefore, passengers should avoid sitting still for long periods of time when riding in a vehicle, and should get up and move around more often. They can also use their hands to massage their lower limbs from top to bottom to help blood circulation.

Be mentally prepared to avoid mental fatigue

For passengers who may experience symptoms of "travel mental syndrome" such as mental tension and chest tightness, experts recommend that they should be mentally prepared for the hard work of traveling home during the Spring Festival before boarding the train, and should not carry too much cash with them to avoid increasing travel stress. At the same time, chatting with travel companions during the trip can also effectively relax your mind.

Don't touch food with your hands when eating

For some passengers who neglect food hygiene while riding, which may easily cause digestive tract diseases, they should try to use tableware when dining in the carriage and avoid direct contact with food with their hands. The diet should mainly consist of easily digestible and nutritious foods such as milk, eggs, and fruits.

Friends who are going home or traveling during the Spring Festival must pay attention to the above disease prevention measures.
