Preparing for travel to the Mile High City
Follow these simple tips for high-altitude travel and you won't even notice the difference!
1. DRINK WATER: Hydrate with water before and during your trip to Denver. Water is the number one way to help your body adjust easily to the higher altitude. The low humidity in Colorado keeps the air dry, like the desert, so you need about twice as much water as you would drink at home.
2. MONITOR ALCOHOL INTAKE: Alcoholic drinks go farther in Denver than at sea level. It's recommended you go easy on the alcohol in the mountains in Denver, as its effects will feel stronger.
3. EAT FOODS HIGH IN POTASSIUM: Foods such as broccoli, bananas, avocado, cantaloupe, celery, greens, bran, chocolate, granola, dates, dried fruit, potatoes and tomatoes will help you replenish electrolytes by balancing salt intake.
4. LIMIT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY: The effects of exercise are more intense due to the high altitude. Take exercise slow at first, and gradually increase intensity as you feel comfortable.
5. PACK FOR SUN: With less water vapor in the air at this altitude, the sky really is bluer in Colorado, but there's 25 percent less protection from the sun, so sunscreen is a must. Even in the winter, bring sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, etc.
