With the opening of the whole Qinghai Tibet Railway, a plateau tourism boom has emerged quietly. According to the theory of plateau medicine and the experience accumulated by plateau tourists over the years, the relevant people remind the vast number of plateau tourists to remember the four precautions and travel freely in the plateau.
clothing
Take enough clothes and personal belongings. Due to the large temperature difference between morning and night on the plateau, and the changeable climate, clothes need to be added or removed in time to avoid colds. Ultraviolet rays are strong in the plateau. Sunglasses, sun hats, sunscreen, skin cream, lip balm, long sleeve tops, sweaters, etc. are all necessary supplies; It is better not to wear short sleeved shirts and shorts. You must wear down jackets all the year round when you go to Mount Everest, Ali and northern Tibet; The best shoes are travel shoes or hiking shoes.
food
To ensure that eating hygiene, eat easy to digest food. Do not overeat to avoid aggravating the burden on digestive organs. Do not drink or smoke. Eat more vegetables and fruits and other vitamin rich foods. Drink water in moderation. Smoking at high altitude will aggravate high altitude polycythemia, and excessive drinking will do more harm. Excessive drinking at high altitude is more likely to induce high altitude pulmonary edema and gastrointestinal bleeding. Don't take oxygen at the beginning, try to adapt yourself to it, otherwise, you may never be able to do without oxygen in the plateau, because the dependence is very strong.
Some drugs can be taken to alleviate altitude reactions, such as Rhodiola sachalinensis, American ginseng buccal tablets, biforin, American ginseng, salvia miltiorrhiza pills, glucose solution, etc. Industry insiders also suggested that if you can adapt to the taste of buttered tea, you might as well drink more buttered tea, which will have a certain effect on alleviating altitude reactions.
live
Keep warm and take less baths to avoid catching cold and wasting energy. When sleeping, the pillow can be properly padded up to keep enough sleep. Never cover your head; When sleeping, the room temperature should not be too high, which may lead to hypoxia. It is necessary to maintain a comfortable mood, emotional stability, avoid excitement, and prevent inducing high altitude hypertension and high altitude heart disease.
that 's ok
When you first arrive at the plateau, you should not walk at a high speed, nor run or do physical labor. Tiredness is one of the factors that induce acute altitude sickness. Young tourists are curious and tend to overestimate their physical strength, which often aggravates the altitude response. Overexertion can induce altitude pulmonary edema or altitude coma. Once you feel unwell, you should see a doctor in time and do not push yourself. Early detection, diagnosis and treatment are required for the prevention and treatment of acute high altitude diseases such as high altitude pulmonary edema and high altitude brain edema. In case of severe altitude reaction, you should take appropriate rest and absolute bed rest, and take oxygen in an appropriate amount.
