Each year travelers vacation at
high altitude resorts in Colorado or those more adventurous may visit
Machu Picchu in Peru. When traveling to altitudes of 6500 ft and
higher, the symptoms of Altitude Sickness may set in beginning with a
headache and advancing to vomiting, lack of appetite, fatigue,
lightheadedness, insomnia, nosebleeds, drowsiness and general
malaise. At this point a can of Sports Oxygen can reduce the
symptoms of altitude sickness and help the individual acclimate to the
altitude. Each can of Sports
Oxygen holds about 70 two second breaths and when experiencing the early
signs of altitude sickness, they can take about 3 or 4 breaths, or more,
of 90 percent oxygen until they feel more comfortable. Once
opened, the can of Sports Oxygen can be used over and over again until
all the oxygen is used. You don't have to use all the oxygen at
once. The can will last a long time while only taking a few
breaths at a time. When you
take a breath of Sports Oxygen, you inhale a full breath of oxygen,
however the lungs do not consume the whole breath and when you exhale
again, you exhale a portion of the oxygen you just inhaled. The
oxygen forms a cloud of oxygen around your mouth so that your second
breath will inhale most of the oxygen you just exhaled. The next
exhale will also breath out some of the unused oxygen and your third
inhale will also breath in enhanced oxygen. About this time your
next inhale should breath oxygen from the can and you repeat the cycle
again. Depending upon the
individual and the level of physical activity at high altitude, the
individual should start feeling better after a couple of days. The
body naturally acclimatizes to the high elevation so that after a period
the supplemental Sports Oxygen in no longer needed. You
can order a 6 pack of Sports Oxygen today and it will be delivered in 5
business days. [ Home
