How To Condition to Prevent Dizziness

Many people occasionally experience dizziness, whether it's a side effect from a prescription drug or simply a result of standing up too quickly. For people who have constant trouble with dizziness, a disorder of a particular body part, such as the eyes or the ears, may be causing faintness, vertigo, lightheadedness or loss of balance. As you age, you may find yourself encountering more dizziness, as 40 percent of people over the age of 40 experience dizzy spells at a more frequent rate than younger people, according to Merck.com. To maintain balance and keep yourself from feeling dizzy, you can condition your body to withstand and prevent dizzy spells.

Instructions

• 1

  Determine the cause of your dizzy spells. Aside from the occasional feeling of dizziness, which everyone goes through, certain physical disorders could be making you feel dizzy. Talk to your doctor, and get a physical examination to determine any serious reasons for your dizziness.

• 2

  Keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of water during the day, so that you can avoid feeling faint, as recommended by Merck.com.

• 3

  Avoid bright lights, and move slowly when repositioning yourself.

• 4

  Learn techniques to avoid dizziness after exercise. Make sure to slowly build up your exercise intensity during a routine, and, similarly, calm your movements incrementally as you end the routine. This allows your blood pressure to increase or decrease at a steady rate, preventing dizziness during physical activity.

• 5

  Don't deprive yourself of food during the day, and never let yourself grow hungry. When your body lacks nutrients, you become weak, faint and dizzy. Eat nutritious foods rich in iron, such as red meat, egg yolks, leafy greens and dried fruits to prevent an iron deficiency that could be making you dizzy.
