Do You Have Problems With Altitude

Sickness?

We just returned from our great annual jaunt up into the

hills in Colorado, just a few hours from where we live.

We go to Lake City each year to get a little R&R. While

we were there, we encountered some other visitors who

endured stop oxygen sickness, which is not surprising

since Lake City has an of over 8,500 feet.

These tourists were from Florida, and experienced the

usual signs of altitude sickness, including shortness of

breath, frustration, vertigo, a little sickness, and general

weariness. These signs make for a holiday. Fortuitously,

we always take some natural supplements that help with one of these symptoms, including blue-

green algae and Coenzyme Q10, and our new friends could enjoy the rest of their trip without

further trouble.

What Can Cause Altitude Sickness?

The most obvious causes of altitude sickness, especially for people used to surviving in lower

altitudes, could be the "thin air," or lack of oxygen at higher altitudes. The body is caused by the

thin air to have less air. To produce up for this lack, the body compensates by increasing

breathing and one's heart rate, which really helps to a certain extent, although not totally. The

possible lack of oxygen to different parts of the body then triggers signs like dizziness, headache,

sluggishness, and so forth.

Normal Options for Preventing Altitude Sickness

Getting certain actions while at high altitudes can reduce symptoms. Here are a few that we have

found work effectively.

- Simply take CoEnzyme Q10: Coenzyme Q10 plays an essential component in cellular energy

production, and is shown to help cells use the available oxygen more efficiently.

- Increase High-Chlorophyll Foods: Foods high in chlorophyll, such as blue-green algae or leafy

vegetables, increases the body's level of hemoglobin along with increasing the transfer of oxygen

from the lungs to the rest of the human body.

- Eat Small Meals Frequently: Digestion has a lot of energy, which can worsen symptoms.

Eating small frequent meals full of complex carbs can reduce feelings of sickness and tiredness.

To avoid BOOST OXYGEN, you start following these

instructions several days before you enter the high

country. Furthermore, you can even try breathing

deeply to improve oxygen intake, moving more slowly,

and sipping as opposed to gulping huge quantities of

water. If everything else fails, descend to a lower

altitude for some days until your body adjusts before

returning to the larger altitude.
