RE: 7 Tips to Combat Altitude Sickness

in #outdoors7 years ago

I am sure people from Lesotho and Nepal will be able to relate very well with this as they are countries situated on high altitude. Nice advice. Thanks for sharing.

Sort:  

It's cool because the Sherpa people born there are born with a lot more red blood cells than people from lower altitudes. By taking time to aclimatazie before a summit push we are letting our bodies create the same amount or close to ..of red blood cells the Sherpa people are born with.
I have a Sherpa friend who I've climbed with in South America and it's so impressive to watch him run up mountains.

More red blood cells means more oxygen per breath. 😁
