High
Altitude Health Tips
As you
ascend to higher altitudes the atmospheric pressure decreases, the air is
colder, drier, and less oxygen is available. Air temperature falls about 3
degrees Fahrenheit for every 1000 feet of elevation. Above 8000 feet, altitude
sickness affects 20 to 30% of visitors from low altitude to some degrees.

Altitude Illness

fluid intake

salt intake

moderate physical activity

carbohydrate, low fat meals

alcohol and caffeine intake
(Yeah
Right!)

other for warning signs (confusion, difficulty speaking, loss of
coordination, etc.)
