Eating can help reduce nausea because it can change how your stomach works, making it feel better.
Eating food can help improve nausea for a few reasons. When you eat, it can help your stomach empty more quickly, which can make you feel less nauseous. This is because when your stomach is empty or slow to empty, it can make you feel sick.
Protein Meals: Eating meals that have protein can be especially helpful. Protein can help reduce nausea by affecting the stomach's natural rhythms and making it work better.
Small, Frequent Meals: Eating small amounts of food more often can also help. This way, your stomach doesn't get too full or too empty, both of which can make nausea worse.
Gastric Emptying: In some cases, like with certain eating disorders, eating can actually help the stomach empty faster, improving how you feel.
Overall, eating can help balance how your stomach works, making it less likely for nausea to occur.
