High Altitude sickness can sometimes be fatal, so act and take these 11 steps to protect yourself.

Anyone can get altitude sickness. 

1. Arrive early and acclimate!

Three days is best if you can to be at the elevation you will play in above 8000 feet. 

2. Take the 3 Best Supplements in Preventing High Altitude Sickness!

The right high-altitude supplements make a dramatic difference in your comfort and acclimation to high altitude. Start a few weeks early and take them when you get there.

3. Take it easy.

4. Climb slowly.

Your body needs about two to three days slowly going higher to adjust to the oxygen and pressure changes.

5. Stop and rest where you are.

Do not go any higher for at least 24 to 48 hours. Descend if you must!!

6. Eat Well.

Food high in carbohydrates and potassium can help alleviate the symptoms of altitude sickness. Before starting your ascent, load up on bread, fruits, pasta, and other heavy carb meals. Avoid eating foods high in sodium, leading to dehydration of your body’s tissues.

7. Do not smoke, drink alcohol, or exercise in excess. 

8. Make sure you’re drinking enough water.

Drinking extra water will protect you from altitude illness. Staying hydrated is important at altitude. Symptoms of dehydration are similar to high altitude. In reality, you need an additional liter to half of water at altitude.

Rule of thumb: 50% in fluid oz of your body weight (200 pounds = 100 oz water = 3 quarts. Then add an extra 8 oz of every hour of exercise, and with high altitude, you should add 1-2 liters or quarts a day.

9. Sleep at lower elevations.

Don’t hesitate to drive down the mountains and get a hotel room if you need to.

10. Electrolytes can help prevent altitude sickness.

A critical component up in the high country is monitoring your electrolyte balance. It enables you to combat altitude sickness and nausea.

11. Canned oxygen or O2 in a can. 

The use of supplemental oxygen therapy will also quickly relieve symptoms of altitude sickness, especially headaches. Consuming oxygen is vital to resolve and avoid continued symptoms altogether. Using oxygen for a period (e.g., one hour) only when you have signs or while sleeping is beneficial. High Altitude sickness can be fatal in some cases, so preventing high-altitude sickness naturally with specific supplements is critical.

“I experienced high high-altitude sickness skiing at Crestes Butet. I could feel it coming on as the chair lift ascended 10.000 feet. It took everything I had to ski down the mountain, get to my car and drive to town. My high-altitude sickness was gone by descending the 2000 feet. I learned the hard way. Now every time I can go to Colorado to ride or ski, I take Cataplex E2 every time I go.”
