Some people suffer from it more than others: nausea resulting from movements. Think motion sickness, seasickness, or fairground attractions. But where does this feeling come from? Why does exercise make you feel nauseous? According to balance expert Raymond van de Berg, it's a sign that your mind is confused. This makes perfect sense: Our bodies are not naturally made to sit on roller coasters or airplanes. So it's a normal reaction.
