im going to New Zealand for a ten-day festival of snow-boarding with my school and I need to know that changes in exercise and diet have to do before entering into this environment of high altitude. Thank you.

    Just make sure you’re in good shape with cardio activities and you’re good

    Stay indoors.

    When you’re at high altitude, there is less oxygen and results to the heart working harder. While it is good for endurance, it could also make you sick. In this case, you have to drink more water and stay away from alcohol. You also need to minimize on the salt and eat regular carbs. One thing to remember when you’re still starting your exercise in high altitude is to work slowly. You need to be sure your body gets used to the amount of oxygen before you push it to the limit.
