What would not be good advice to help a person to minimize motion sickness?

Poor advice for minimizing motion sickness would include recommending that the person focus on reading or looking at screens while in motion, as this can exacerbate symptoms. Additionally, suggesting they ignore the discomfort and "tough it out" instead of taking breaks or finding a stable point to look at may worsen their experience. Avoiding hydration or skipping meals before travel is also unhelpful, as proper nutrition and hydration can mitigate nausea.
