4 Precautions for traveling alone:

Drink plenty of water: due to the low humidity of the plateau air, the human body is easy to dehydrate, and the increase of hemoglobin leads to the increase of blood viscosity, which is easy to form thrombosis and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Therefore, keep a small amount of water.

Quit smoking: The affinity between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin produced by cigarettes is 250 to 300 times that of oxygen, and heavy smoking will obviously aggravate altitude sickness.

Learn the correct breathing method: Exercise tests show that abdominal breathing is more regular and rhythmic than chest breathing. When walking or climbing, visitors can put their hands on their hips, so that the muscles of the arms, clavicle, scapula and trunk above the waist can assist breathing, so as to increase the activity of the respiratory system.

When you first arrive at the plateau, you should avoid strenuous activities and emotional excitement, and avoid taking a hot bath, so as not to accelerate metabolism, aggravate hypoxia and lead to pulmonary edema.

Adhere to the dietary principle of high sugar, high plant protein and low fat. Sugar can provide heat quickly, make people adapt to high-intensity activities and increase the exchange ventilation of oxygen. Too much fat and animal protein will aggravate altitude sickness.

Altitude sickness can easily lead to insomnia. Diazepam tablets can be taken properly to ensure adequate sleep.

In addition, people under 16 and over 60 years old, people with anemia, diabetes, serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and chronic lung diseases, mental patients and pregnant women are not suitable for traveling in the plateau.
