4 Foods That May Help Relieve Nausea!

Are you looking for a natural remedy for nausea? Here are four foods that can help!

1. Ginger

Ginger contains phytochemicals such as gingerol which help to prevent nausea and vomiting. These chemicals help relieve nausea by promoting the secretion of saliva in the mouth and also promoting the secretion of enzymes in the stomach that help to neutralize stomach acids. Try drinking a cup of ginger tea, sucking on a piece of ginger candy, or eating a few gingersnaps. Ginger can also be taken in supplement form. 

2. Peppermint

The menthol in peppermint provides a cooling sensation in the mouth and stomach that helps relieve nausea by relaxing the digestive muscles. Peppermint also has pain relieving properties. Try drinking some peppermint tea or having some peppermint candy or gum.

3. Saltine Crackers

Starchy foods like saltine crackers can help to relieve nausea by absorbing excess stomach acid. Other starchy foods to try include rice, potatoes, and pretzels.

4. Apples

Apples contain fiber which can help flush nausea causing substances from your stomach. If you are having trouble eating solid foods try some applesauce or apple juice instead.

5 Foods To Ease An Upset Stomach

1. Papaya
This tropical fruit contains enzymes, including papain, which promote a healthy acidic environment in the stomach. Eating papaya can help with indigestion and constipation and has also been used for ulcers.

2. Applesauce
Apples contain powerful antioxidants that will help your body's immune system and promote healing. They also contain pectin as well as other enzymes that help detoxify and rid the body of harmful particles. It is a light food that will ease your stomach while providing your body with essential vitamins and minerals. Not to mention it is delicious! I prefer mine with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top which just so happens to be the next food on the list.

3. Cinnamon
This tasty spice has been used to treat gas, morning sickness, and diarrhea. Sprinkle some on baked apples, oatmeal, or a slice of toast, for a tasty treat.

4. Ginger
Various studies have shown ginger to be effective in helping to reduce nausea. Try some ginger snaps or a ginger tea.

5. Saltine Crackers
These, and other high starch foods such as toast, will help to absorb stomach acid. Reducing stomach acid will help to ease your stomach pains.
