More than 80% of people over 65 experience vertigo and dizziness once in a while. Many suffer those spells daily.

Vertigo is the number one cause of falling, resulting in broken bones and other injuries.

The fact is though, when you feel vertigo, it’s pretty easy to pull yourself out of it and be clear and balanced again in seconds.

Today, I’m going to tell you about 10 ways to straighten yourself out once you start feeling dizzy:

1. Take a deep breath (and a few more): Sounds very simple but this is extremely effective. The moment you feel dizzy, find the nearest seat, sit down, relax and breathe deeply. The oxygen boost will wake up the brain and help the dizziness diminish.

2. Drink some water: Always have a bottle of water handy, wherever you are. Take a few sips and you’ll feel better. Sometimes in the summer the heat can dehydrate you rapidly and cause fainting spells.

3. Eat ginger: Carry a small box with grated fresh ginger. When you feel faint, eat some ginger and you’ll notice that it reduces the intensity of dizziness greatly. Ginger is known to stimulate blood flow to the brain and helps cure vertigo.

4. Drink lemon juice: Keep some lemon juice in your fridge. When you feel dizzy, quickly drink up a little juice and you’ll feel energized as the dose of vitamin C will cure the dizziness speedily.

5. Eat a gooseberry: If you find gooseberries in the supermarket, stock up on them. Eating gooseberries also helps cure a vertigo spell. Like lemon, gooseberry is also rich in vitamin C and improves blood flow, especially to the brain.

6. A spoon of honey: Mix a spoon of honey with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and drink it up for an immediate source of energy and cure for dizziness.

7. One pod of garlic: Crush a pod of garlic and place it under your tongue and you’ll be surprised how fast is cures the dizziness!

8. Aloe Vera juice: Drink this cool and refreshing juice once every day if you get recurrent attacks of vertigo. It can boost immunity and keep you energized.

9. Eat healthy: Eating healthy food rich in vegetables and fruits is a good way to improve your health and reduce chances of a fainting spell.

10. Pile up on iron: Low iron can also cause weakness and dizziness. Eat iron-rich food (spinach, tofu, almond, dates, liver) regularly.

The best way to permanently eliminate vertigo and dizziness, however, involves simple vertigo exercises. These exercises load your brain with oxygen as well as strengthening your balance system.
