Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau set to spend more time with each other after dinner date: ‘On the cards for a while'
Justin Trudeau is looking forward to spending more time with Katy Perry after 'really clicking' during a Montreal dinner date, two sources close to the former Canadian Prime Minister have told The U.S. Sun. Fireworks singer Perry, who recently split from fiance Orlando Bloom, took time out from her tour in Canada to grab dinner with divorced Trudeau on Monday night. The pair were snapped deep in conversation at swish eaterie Le Violon. And The U.S. Sun has been told by two of Trudeau's close associates that he wants to see the singer, who has been described as a 'breath of fresh air,' again. Trudeau separated from Sophie, his wife of 18 years, in 2023 and, according to our insiders, loved talking about a variety of topics with the 40 year-old star. The U.S. Sun understands the pair have been in contact for weeks after meeting at an event, and both share a common interest in trying to make the world a better place. Trudeau had hoped a quiet night in Montreal would have helped make the night more private. But with pics of the pair appearing on TMZ, their secret is out. 'Justin always enjoys nice company, and Katy is the kind of woman that really caught his attention,' the first source who worked with Trudeau while he was in office, told The U.S. Sun. 'Justin has been single for a while and has enjoyed getting to know her. He likes her personality, and they are two people who really enjoy chatting about different topics, and they click very well so far, as they are going to see each other again very soon.' Trudeau reportedly picked up the tab, which included lobster and cocktails, before showing their gratitude to the kitchen staff. The source says that although any hopes of keeping the dinner date under wraps were dashed, the 53-year-old politician doesn't regret anything. There are plans in the works for the pair to connect again in the United States, where he will be spending large amounts of time in the coming months. 'Whatever happens, happens. He is a single man, so is on the market and ready to start something new with a woman after a few rough moments after splitting from his wife,' continued the well-placed source. 'He is feeling that talking to her and getting to know her is very refreshing, like a breath of fresh air in his life. He was happy to connect with her so well, and that she appreciates him being a normal, respectful person who was very understanding of her recent separation with Orlando Bloom. 'He isn't the kind of guy that would rush things, and she seems to enjoy that a lot. It's a gentlemanly way to behave.' The second source, who also worked closely with Trudeau while he was the Canadian PM, claimed the pair had been waiting to meet up 'for a while' and that Perry agreed 'very quickly.' 'Justin isn't shy about his romantic life, and he took her on a date, and he was very, very excited to do so and kept talking about it in the last few days,' added the friend. 'He feels like a young adult again, he is very excited about the process so far, and he really enjoys to get to know her and to talk about many, many topics with her. Justin isn't a guy who is easy to 'catch' and he has been having a lot of women trying to date him since he separated from his wife.'

Top 18 Ways to Get Rid of Nausea
You may be able to relieve nausea by sitting up, getting fresh air, taking medications, or eating certain foods, such as ginger or lemon, among other home remedies. Nausea is that uncomfortable, queasy feeling you get in your stomach that makes you feel like you're going to vomit. Many times, it's unclear why nausea strikes. Whatever the reason, when it hits, you'll do almost anything to make it go away. Nausea may be triggered by a virus, a digestive condition, pregnancy, or even an unpleasant odor. Many nausea remedies don't necessarily cure the condition but may help you cope better. Here are 18 tips to help you get rid of nausea. Sit up and avoid crunching the stomach If a parent ever told you not to lie down after eating, they were on to something. When you lie flat, gastric juices may rise and increase feelings of nausea and overall discomfort, especially if you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Crunching your stomach may also worsen nausea since it compresses the area and makes you less comfortable overall. When you have nausea, try reclining with your upper body elevated and moving around as little as possible. Open a window or sit in front of a fan If you have motion sickness, you may notice you feel better if you open a window. Fresh air may ease nausea symptoms in many people, although it's unclear why. It may get rid of sickening odors, or it may simply help you focus on something other than the nausea. If you're overheated, try sitting in front of a fan or window at the first sign of nausea. Apply a cool compress A soothing, cool compress placed on the back of the neck could help ease nausea. When nausea occurs, we sometimes seek remedies that cool our bodies down to provide relief. Placing a cool compress on the back of your neck for several minutes can be soothing. It also helps decrease your body temperature, which, if high, may cause nausea. Sea bands Sea bands work by applying pressure to the P6 pressure point on your wrist. But, rather than pressing on the point, you wear the band for as long as you need. Some older research suggests these wristbands may be effective in managing nausea. Meditate Meditation, the practice of focusing and calming the mind, may help relieve nausea. One 2015 study looked at 86 pregnant females experiencing moderate nausea and vomiting. The researchers found that adding 3 weeks of meditation to their therapeutic plan significantly improved outcomes during and 1 month after treatment. More studies are needed to confirm if meditation can help manage nausea. But, this approach does not appear to do any harm and could have other health benefits. Deep breathing Deep breathing is a meditation technique. You can also do it on your own to quell stress-related nausea. Breathe in slowly through your nose, hold your breath for 3 seconds, and slowly breathe out. Repeat several times until your nausea subsides. Shift your focus Sometimes, coping with nausea is simply mind over matter. The more you dwell on your nausea, the more nauseous you're likely to feel. The next time nausea comes on, distract yourself by reading a book or watching television. If motion doesn't make you feel worse, do some light housework or go for a slow walk — anything to get your mind off how you feel. While this remedy is often recommended, few scientific studies support it, so it should not be used in cases of extreme nausea. Stay hydrated If you can't eat or drink due to nausea, dehydration may occur. Conversely, nausea is also a symptom of dehydration. When you feel queasy, if possible, sip fluids throughout the day. If straight water turns your stomach, try drinking decaf tea or water with fresh fruit slices. Try chamomile tea Chamomile tea is a popular home remedy for nausea. It has a sedative effect that may help you sleep when you're nauseous. It may also help ease anxiety. While some research has examined the role chamomile may play in easing nausea, much more research is needed to understand how it may provide relief. Chamomile tea bags are available at most grocery stores, natural health stores, and online. Make your own chamomile tea by pouring one cup of boiling water over a tablespoon of dried or fresh chamomile flowers. Steep for at least 5 minutes, and strain. Turn to lemons Lemons contain citric acid, a naturally occurring compound thought to aid digestion and soothe the stomach. Try adding freshly squeezed lemon juice to water and sipping throughout the day. If nausea is due to constipation, drinking warm water with lemon juice may stimulate your bowels. Go easy, though. Ingesting too much lemon juice in a brief period may make nausea worse. The scent of lemons may also ease nausea, although more studies are needed to confirm this. According to a 2014 study, inhaling lemon essential oil helped reduce nausea and vomiting in pregnant participants. A 2020 study even suggested that a lollipop with lemon aroma could significantly ease feelings of nausea during pregnancy. If you don't have lemon essential oil on hand, simply cut a fresh lemon in half and inhale the scent. Go with ginger Ginger is arguably the most popular home remedy for nausea. According to a 2020 scientific review, ginger may help manage mild to moderate nausea, although more research is still needed. To help with nausea, eat a small piece of fresh or candied ginger. You can also drink ginger tea, which you'll find in grocery stores, natural health stores, and online. Make your own ginger tea by pouring 1 cup (237 milliliters) boiling water over a 1-inch (2.5-centimeter) piece of peeled, fresh ginger root. Steep for at least 5 minutes, strain if you want, and enjoy. Pair with peppermint A recent 2021 study involving 103 hospitalized patients suggested that peppermint oil was an effective remedy for nausea relief. To experience these benefits, you can take peppermint capsules or drink peppermint tea. Look for peppermint tea at grocery and natural health stores or online. You can also make your own by pouring one cup of boiling water over a heaping teaspoon of fresh peppermint leaves. Steep for at least 5 minutes, and strain to preference. According to a 2016 study on heart surgery patients and a 2020 study on abdominal surgery patients, inhaling peppermint essential oil may also ease nausea post-operation and after anesthesia. Avoid carbonated beverages There's an old wives' tale that drinking carbonated beverages such as ginger ale or cola helps tame tummy troubles. The opposite is often true. Carbonated drinks may cause bloating and worsen acid reflux and GERD, all of which may cause nausea. However, the relationship between carbonated beverages and worsening nausea has not been well established by research. In addition, most fizzy beverages may be very sweet, which could make your nausea worse. If you must drink a fizzy drink, let it go flat or dilute it with water before drinking. Eat a small meal of something bland Following a bland diet may help prevent nausea from worsening or stop vomiting. One commonly recommended diet for recovering from nausea is the BRAT diet — bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. However, many healthcare professionals consider the BRAT diet to be overly restrictive and insufficiently nutritious. You can also eat small amounts of: saltines plain pasta or noodles plain baked or mashed potatoes scrambled eggs hard-boiled eggs Avoid fried foods, dairy products like cheese and milk, meat, and foods high in fiber until nausea subsides. Take over-the-counter (OTC) medications Nausea medications are called antiemetics. When nausea is severe, you may need an OTC medication to help calm and soothe the stomach. Some options are: Emetrol Nauzene Dramamine Pepto-Bismol Gravol If you're pregnant, don't take any OTC medications without consulting your doctor first. Be sure to talk with your child's doctor before giving them OTC medications, and keep all meds out of reach of children. Take vitamin B6 supplements In 2013, the Food and Drug Administration approved Diclegis, a combination of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and the antihistamine doxylamine, as a treatment for pregnancy-related nausea. Vitamin B6 alone has had mixed results for treating nausea, according to a 2019 review comparing it against ginger or no treatment at all during pregnancy. The typical dose is 30–100 mg daily in 1 to 3 divided doses for up to 3 weeks. Too much vitamin B6 may worsen nausea, however. It may also cause serious side effects, such as: abnormal heart rhythm tingling decreased muscle tone For this reason, only take Diclegis or vitamin B6 for nausea under your doctor's supervision. It's always important to discuss all medications with your doctor while pregnant to avoid those that may interact negatively with you or your child. Your doctor may recommend other approaches first, as most nausea in pregnancy subsides by the fourth month or second trimester. Try CBD oil Cannabidiol (CBD) oil comes from an active compound in cannabis. CBD oil doesn't contain THC, the primary cannabinoid in cannabis that alters mental state. While more research is needed, some studies have shown promising results. CBD oil is available in many forms, including: liquids pastes capsules edibles sprays Dosing isn't regulated, and recommendations vary, so read the instructions on the package carefully and check with a medical professional before use. Only use medical-grade CBD oil to treat nausea. CBD oil isn't legal in every state, so be sure to check your state's laws before purchasing or using it, and buy from a reputable source. Some states may allow CBD only with a doctor's prescription. »GET MORE TIPS HERE: How to get rid of nausea naturally.
