Best ways to prevent nausea from cancer treatment

Good: Eat small, simple portions. Choose small amounts of food without strong tastes or smells.

Better: Sit upright after meals. Put off any urge to lie down or nap for at least 30 minutes after each small meal.

Even better: Savor a mint. Sucking on mints, lemon drops or candied ginger after a meal helps prevent nausea.

Best: Ask for help. Don't hesitate to call your care team. There are treatments and medications that can help.
