Question

How should I prepare for the altitude change?

Answer

According to Della Terra's website, these are the steps you can take to better adjust to the altitude: - Increase fluid intake- 2 or 3 times normal intake: water and juice are best, hydration is key to preventing AMS and HAPE, drink enough to urinate every two hours. - Avoid alcohol and minimize caffeine on arrival and a couple days after. Remember, you may be much more sensitive to the effects of alcohol at a higher altitude, please be very careful. - Decrease salt intake as salt causes your body to retain fluids, increasing the severity of altitude illness. - Eat frequent small meals high in carbs, low in fat and low in protein. - Maintain moderate physical activity and get plenty of rest. Medications and oxygen can help you feel better. Diamox is a prescription drug that prevents the unpleasant symptoms for many people.
