Breathe Easy: Oxygen Enriched Environments at Altitude
The Challenges of Altitude
Acclimating to less oxygen at high altitudes can be challenging. Headaches, fatigue, overall malaise and irritability, digestive upset and trouble sleeping occur when your body is struggling to become accustomed to lower oxygen levels. These symptoms can cause slowed physical and mental performance and can be unwelcome guests for your time at higher elevations.
The Biology of Oxygen
Your lungs and then red blood cells carry powerful oxygen molecules through your body allowing your cells to obtain energy and function properly. Oxygen molecules that are abundant at sea level become much scarcer as you climb in elevation and this scarcity can start significantly affecting people at as low as 6,000 feet. Our biological, basic need for oxygen is impared as we travel higher in altitude causing Altitude Sickness. Most cases of Altitude Sickness occur over 8,000 ft and most mountain ski resort towns have 30% less oxygen than at sea-level. Oxygen is essential to life.
