Google motion sickness, or talk to a health care provider, and they’ll probably tell you to eat starchy, sugary foods to help with the nausea resulting from motion sickness.

Yet my Code Red Rebels report experiencing LESS motion sickness while eating how we eat on Code Red…and we eat clean, high-fat, low-carb foods, and avoid sugar. We also drink plenty of water, supplement with electrolytes, and prioritize sleep.

According to traditional “wisdom,” the way we eat on Code Red should, if anything, make motion sickness WORSE.

Instead, Rebels who experience motion sickness report an IMPROVEMENT after cutting out the sugar and crap carbs.

Could it be that mainstream medicine, while right about a lot of things, has this wrong, too?

What is motion sickness?

Motion sickness is what happens when your brain struggles to make sense of conflicting information coming in from your eyes, ears, and body.

See, your brain is always receiving signals from motion-sensing parts of your body, like your inner ears, eyes, joints, and muscles.

When your brain gets conflicting information from those parts of you, it gets confused, and you feel sick. A few examples:

• You’re riding in a car, looking out the window. Your eyes see trees, houses, and so on passing by outside, and register movement.
• Your inner ears also sense movement, since you’re in a moving car.
• Meanwhile, your joints and muscles feel you sitting still.
• The disconnect your brain notices between the movement and sitting still triggers motion sickness.

Almost anything where there’s movement involved can cause motion sickness, but it’s most common in car rides, airplanes, boats, and on amusement park rides.

A movie or TV show with a lot of bumpy filming, spinning, or otherwise intense movement can even trigger it. Same deal with video games.

A speaker on stage who paces back and forth may even trigger it for people who are super sensitive to motion sickness!

The result is usually feeling queasy and sick to your stomach. You might also sweat and feel clammy, get a headache, and even feel irritable.

There are a lot of theories around way some people seem more susceptible to motion sickness than others, and while it’s true that certain conditions (like inner ear disorders, headaches, and pregnancy) contribute to the likelihood of motion sickness, very few people are talking about the role nutrition places in motion sickness.

In the mainstream “health” world, the link between nutrition and physical and mental problems of any kind is gaining momentum, yet is still largely ignored.

If you struggle with motion sickness, it could be that the way you eat is making it WORSE.

The only way to know for sure whether a change in diet can minimize motion sickness is to experiment and see what happens.

Avoid sugary foods and beverages, and crap carbs, before your next car or airplane ride, and see how you feel compared with when you eat them.

If you feel better, there’s your answer!

Same deal with your kids. If they get motion sick, skip the sugary snacks and drinks, and choose something healthier and cleaner.

My Rebels report that motion sickness improves when they eat how we eat on Code Red, so try it for yourself, and see if it helps you, too!
