Travel Smart to the Mile High City: How to Prepare for the Elevation
Altitude changes can affect your body, especially if you’re coming from sea level. Here are a few tips to help you stay healthy and comfortable:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your flight. Dehydration can increase the risk of altitude sickness.
- Limit Caffeine: Caffeine can contribute to dehydration and make it harder to adjust to the elevation.
- Ease In: Give yourself time to acclimate. Take it easy on arrival day—avoid strenuous activity if you can.
- Eat Calories: Increase your calorie intake to keep your body energized. Focus on nutrient-dense foods such as lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Rest: Allow your body time to recover from travel and adjust to the altitude with a good night’s sleep.
- Protect yourself from the sun: The thinner atmosphere at high altitudes means increased exposure to UV rays. Use sunscreen and lip balm with SPF.
Watch for Symptoms of Altitude Sickness: These may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, or shortness of breath. If symptoms occur, rest, hydrate, and avoid further exertion. Most mild cases pass within 1–2 days, but seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.
