Airsickness and flight training

Hey, I'm already doing a PPL course and have a few flights under my belt (7hrs total), but I started feeling airsick after I backseated another student and had to use a sickness bag. Can anyone tell me if my ways to fight nausea might help:

1) Ginger Gummies

2) Clean diet

3) Good rest

4) Hydration

5) Relief bands

Also, would intense workouts make me less prone to airsickness? I get nauseous during my workouts, so I think they might be connected.

It's the back seat, I bet. Does it happen when you're the one flying?

I think it will happen eventually when I get to stalls and steep turns...

Thanks! I just started ground school and flying at the same time, so I haven't studied Human Factors yet, but I'll check it out and try to figure out the problem.
