Dizziness: Prevention


Top Prevention

1. Use techniques that help in rebalancing the body's energy flow

In case the cause behind dizziness cannot be determined, you should employ re-balancing techniques, such as acupuncture and homeotherapy. These act on the muscular and nervous system as a whole, removing slight traces of imbalance in the regions, and thus keeping dizziness at bay.

2. Employ preventive methods for diseases that lead to dizziness

Diseases such as heart disease, allergies and ear infections affect the nervous, circulatory and balancing systems of our bodies. This leads to dizziness. Dehydration also affects the body balance act due to change in blood composition. So, in order to avoid dizziness, you should constantly get yourself tested for these diseases and avoid committing acts that can lead to their occurrence.

3. Avoid reading in mobile environments

Eyes also play an important role in helping the nervous system maintain proper body balance. Acts such as reading in moving vehicles, writing in constantly mobile environments and watching something on a device while in a rapidly moving vehicle can lead to misinterpretation of proper balance by the brain, leading to dizziness, and vertigo.

4. Sugar, salt and mineral balance in diet

Dizziness occurs due to imbalance in sugar, salt and other nutrients in the blood. As blood is vital in maintaining proper blood pressure and body balance, any change in its composition leads to a change in the body’s balancing capabilities, leading to dizziness. This preventive measure is especially important for patients suffering from any allergies, high blood pressure or cholesterol imbalance. For instance, patients of high or low blood pressure should refrain from over-salting their food. The safest option is to include copious amounts of green vegetables in the diet.

5. Employ safety measures in hazardous situations

Dizziness also occurs due to head injuries and severe blood loss. In order to avoid this, you should take precautions while working in hazardous situations where chances of getting injuries is quite high. You should employ seat belts while driving a vehicle, use helmets at construction sites and driving situations, use goggles and masks in laboratories, and have your equipment tested thoroughly for any faults before using it.

6. Avoid sudden vertical movements

Sudden movements, especially vertical ones, give very little time to the body to realign its balance, leading to dizziness. In order to avoid this, you should make vertical motions, such as rising from the bed or chair, a bit more slowly and calmly than usual. You should refrain from sitting in theme park rides and other vehicles that may affect the body balancing act.

7. Perform physical, mental and meditative exercises

Medical research has established that proper exercises can avoid dizziness. These exercises include physical, mental and meditative. As dizziness is related to the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems of the body, all of them are instrumental in maintaining the proper balance of the body. You should perform relaxing exercises of neck and hands, such as tilting the neck to the sides slowly and calmly.

Keep your mind active at all times. This can be done by playing mind games such as chess, checkers and strategy games. You should keep away from stressful games (such as action games), environments (such as loud music concerts) and difficult relationships. Stress lowers the mental health by a manifold, inviting dizziness at times.

Yoga and other meditation therapies also play an important role in keeping dizziness at bay. Not only do these exercises relax the person, but they also increase physical and mental health, and improve the functioning of the circulatory and other important systems in the body.
