• cool air (wind, fan, direct AC)
• ginger ale, ginger gum
• MINT GUM has helped me so much. chewing gum also releases gas in your stomach, immediately taking away nausea sometimes
• smelling keys (i heard as a kid)
• smelling lemons, oranges, limes
• LAYING DOWN (if you can) helps a bunch. on your back.
• i listen to calm music, that helps the anxiety
• smelling something clean, fresh washed clothes
• push your pressure points in your wrist. 3 finger widths down, hold down your two tendons for about 30 seconds and then switch, or purchase sea-bands. it will cut off blood to a nerve area in the back of your stomach that will settle it. aside from mint gum i have found this to be the next most effective

what will make it worse:

• smelling food (try to go somewhere away from food)
• moving a lot
• HEAT 

please message me if you need someone to talk to. i have awful anxiety and talking to someone who understands seems to help a bit. good luck guys. fight hard xx

these are all good! i was a very nauseous child and these are things i did to feel relief. also whenever I’d feel sick drinking water would sometimes make me feel worse, but chewing/sucking on ice cubes always did the trick (related to the cold thing).

This probably falls into the mint gum category, but brushing your teeth could help. It helped me once when I was younger and feeling nauseous.

I get nauseous a lot and the best tips I can give are peppermint tea (add honey if you’re puking), dry toast burned to a char (for a sour stomach), Trader Joe’s gingermints if you can get them, and frozen banana smoothies. Wash your face and put a wet towel around your neck. Chew on loose green tea if you’re truly desperate. I can also back up brushing your teeth and chewing/sucking ice, smash the ice with a fork when it’s partially frozen in the tray and let it freeze completely to make ice chips.

If nauseous from actual food the pill nauzene is a life saver. Also for some reason cold hot dogs?

And small sips of ice water for anxiety and food nausea. Walking around helpa me when I can’t lay down [like at work]

do you guys wanna see how bs ‘’’bmi’’’ is?

let’s start with a few pictures of my body shall we

(please ignore messy room i’m in the process of packing)

okay so that’s the body of someone that eats healthy, literally my fave food is broccoli, and i work out 5 days a week, you’d think i’m at ‘’’healthy weight’’’’ right?????

BITCH NOPE

that bitch telling me to eat 1500 – 1900 calories a day are you fucking joking??? that’s fucking starving myself and i’m not doing that. fuck you.

Bmi was never meant to be used for individuals; it’s only useful for talking in generalised terms about a large population and as a potential guide.

thank you for your input, not many people know that. but still, an official site such as the fucking nhs recommending a full grown woman to eat under 2,000 a day is not okay!!! (Especially considering the fact that it took into account my regular activity)

calories are bullshit too

a calorie is the amount of energy released in laboratory conditions to heat water when it’s burned

so in the lab you have an instrument to burn the food and you measure how much of it it takes to heat water a set amount,

this does not in any way reflect how the body works

your body breaks down foods in different ways, for example monosaturated fats break down very slowly but processed sugars break down very fast

so by that logic something that is almost pure carbohydrate would be much worse than something that is almost pure monosaturated fat

not necessarily

oats, for example, are something like 95% fibre, meaning although they are pure sugar the body decides it’s not worth the bother of breaking them down so you get a small fraction of the sugar in the oat

so just going by carbohydrate [aka sugar] content doesn’t work properly either

a stick of butter has WAY more calories than a boiled potato but the stick of butter breaks down over several hours and keeps you satiated longer than that boiled potato that immediately floods your system with sugar, that triggers the response of too much store that for later, which causes a lack in your body which triggers the i’m hungry response

or the peanuts being high protein high fat are the reason why a snickers fills you up longer than a mars bar even though it might have a higher calorie count – because you’re full longer you eat less calories because you don’t go i’m hungry and eat another mars bar 

and that’s all assuming that every body processes food the exact same way

tl:dr the human body is a very complicated machine and using a very simple method of measuring energy intake is complete nonsense
