Explore what happens in your body when you don t acclimate to higher altitudes and the dangers of altitude sickness. If you teleported from sea level to the top of Mount Everest, things would go bad fast. At an altitude of 8, 848 meters, you would likely suffocate in minutes. However, for people that make this journey over the course of a month, it s possible to survive at the peak for hours. So what happens in our bodies that allows us to endure this incredible altitude? Andrew Lovering investigates.

Being a casual Trekker, I must say Wim Hoff's breathing technique, also mentioned in the video, has been really helpful. We must let our body acclimatize before we make the ascend and to do that, we must focus on our breathing as it becomes prominent factor for acclimatization. Hence, this video is a must for those who wants to ascend mountains here in Nepal.
P. s. I have reached the height of 5500m finishing 2 complete trekking circuits in a month.

4: 35 The Sherpa is the first thing that comes to my mind when you talk about people getting accustomed to high altitudes. They're the unsung heroes that helped many mountain climbers achieve the Himalayan mountains. Great video TED!

It s so interesting seeing how altitude sickness can affect the body, especially considering I live at 7000 feet and don t feel anything at all, but family members from sea level can get a little sick sometimes when visiting

This video is legit giving me anxiety. I got altitude sickness climbing Mt. Fuji and had to turn around before reaching the top. It's the only item on my bucket list but I'm anxious to try again.

It really depends on the people, some populations living in height will have less trouble while others will really suffer with altitude. Everyone has their own environment, for a common planet: )

Fun fact: Staying at high altitudes before a competition is a form of legal doping in sports. As the athlete will have more red blood cells, they will be capable of more performance.

Altitude Sickness can be a philosophical term also.
Some people's soul becomes sick as they reach the heights in life which is more materialistic and sometimes inhumane.

I was just in the mountains (avg. height: 5, 800ft) for a whole week last week- I never knew there were so many things that could happen besides your ears popping-
