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.

Avoid Altitude Illness

  1. Increase fluid intake
  2. Decrease salt intake
  3. Start with moderate physical activity
  4. Eat high carbohydrate, low fat meals
  5. Reduce alcohol and caffeine intake    (Yeah Right!)
  6. Feeling worse? Seek help

Prevent Sunburn

  1. Use sunscreen (SPF 15-30)
  2. Always wear sun glasses or goggles

Prevent Cold Injury

  1. Dress in layers
  2. Avoid wet clothing
  3. Wear properly fitting boots and gloves
  4. Drink and eat frequently
  5. Watch each other for warning signs (confusion, difficulty speaking, loss of coordination, etc.)
