RE: 7 Tips to Combat Altitude Sickness
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.
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. 😁
