Once, starting from Lhasa and returning from the Qinghai-Tibet line, the destination on the first day was not far away, only more than 400 kilometers away. I planned to live in Amdo, but I had to go to Namtso in the middle, and the round trip should be at least 150 kilometers. , starting on time at 7:00 in the morning, from Damxung to Namtso;
When we arrived at Namtso, it should be around 2 pm. We parked the car in the parking lot. After that, a group of people went to the lake on Tashi Island to find yaks to take pictures;
I have nothing to do. Before getting off the car, I brought 2 pieces of Snickers bars and a bottle of Red Bull. Today, on a whim, I wanted to climb up that hill to see the scenery. Normally, when climbing this hill, I used to start from the parking lot. On this side of the field, there is a landscape avenue that you can go up directly, but this time, on a whim, I decided to go to the opposite side and climb up, so I crossed the back of the mountain and climbed up from there;
At an altitude of 5,000 meters, there is a lack of oxygen, but there is no vegetation around Namtso, and Tashi Island is a lake in the middle of mountains. It can be seen how serious the lack of oxygen is?
Walking on flat roads, even if you walk a little faster, you will be out of breath, let alone climbing a mountain. Today, I didn’t bring oxygen, and I started climbing directly. At the beginning, I needed to pant for about 3-5 minutes, and I felt like my lungs were going to explode. In this way, it took more than 2 hours to climb up, and I saw the beautiful scenery around me. I felt that my life had reached its peak, as if It’s like reaching Mount Everest, I praised myself in my heart, cheered myself up, made myself happy, cheered myself up, it’s really worth it, but it’s from the heart;
After returning home, it was already past 4:30 in the car, and I inhaled half a bottle of oxygen, because I had to drive, so I couldn’t doze off, but today I didn’t eat lunch, I didn’t eat breakfast, all I ate were snacks, it’s really the soul in heaven;
After getting up the next day, I felt dizzy and vicious. This was the first time in history that I had such a severe altitude sickness symptom. I quickly took two capsules of Sudayang and inhaled the leveling oxygen. After half an hour, I felt much better. I barely ate some breakfast. The altitude of Amdo is about 4,700 meters. It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Amdo. Fortunately, it was dark here after 9 o'clock. After driving for 2 hours at night, I was extremely exhausted. As the team leader, I had to keep in touch , the status of other vehicles, there is another car that did not come back, arrived 1 hour later than us, and arrived at the hotel after 12 o'clock;
That car, why was it late, hit a bull;
Why did we arrive so late, because we took an unusual road, followed the road to the Holy Elephant Tianmen, arrived at Bangor, from Bangor along Provincial Highway 303, now changed to National Highway 317, arrived at Nagqu, and returned to An A lot, I walked more than 700 kilometers, more than half of which were unpaved roads, from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm, without resting for a moment, how much energy consumption, when I arrived at Anduo, I stood at the hotel and circled around. dizziness;
I have talked so much above, what would you like to say?
On the plateau, the energy consumption of the human body is huge, whether it is exercised or not. In Tibet, both men and women feel that their appetite increases and they feel hungry quickly. Why is this so?
On the plateau, everyone's blood pressure will increase, and this is the reason for insomnia. The increase in blood pressure is due to the acceleration of blood flow. At this time, the blood oxygen capacity drops sharply, and strenuous exercise will easily cause altitude sickness. In addition, it is harmful to the human body. The loss of amino acids and trace elements is also accelerating. If the weather is cold, it will also cause muscle burning. Why is muscle burning?
The principle of burning muscle is that because the weather is cold, the human body will naturally secrete some anti-cold substances, so some substances in the muscles or fat must be extracted to convert them into heat energy. One of the reasons why everyone eats more meat and more fat, those who play outdoors should know it, and those in the Northeast should know a little bit;
I won’t talk about the principle here. In short, energy consumption is more. At this time, some vitamins, amino acids, trace elements, etc. should be supplemented. The energy supplied by daily meals is far from enough to consume;
When traveling by car in Tibet, in addition to having the opportunity to eat fruits, you must also bring good food, supplement some trace elements every day, which will help you return to the plains, and the body will quickly recover. What’s more, you need to eat some chocolate , Snickers, drink some Red Bull, coffee, tea, etc. Why do you drink these?
It's very simple. When you get to the plateau, your body automatically adjusts itself. In order to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity and improve the blood oxygen capacity, the body will automatically secrete and produce more red blood cells, increasing the number of red blood cells. One disadvantage is that the more red blood cells More blood will slow down the flow rate, and coffee will improve the mental capacity and promote blood circulation, so that the blood oxygen capacity of the person will be stronger, so as to cope with the discomfort of the plateau environment;
Why do we fall asleep when we return to the plains? It is because of excessive red blood cells, which will lead to thickening of blood lipids, slowing down of blood flow, feeling that blood pressure will drop, and people will be confused and doze off. At this time, you can also take Drink coffee and tea to fight;
Of course, these can all be understood as additives in the car, but it allows us to drive back and make it safer;
The loss of trace elements will lead to physical exhaustion. On the plateau, timely supplementation will speed up the recovery time of the body after returning to the plains, and it will soon return to normal state;
In the plateau, strenuous exercise is prohibited, and trace elements are supplemented. In the plains, the recovery to the original state will be faster, so as not to hurt the body;
On the plateau, strenuous exercise will not only lead to severe altitude sickness, but also lead to the loss of trace elements such as amino acids, and will easily cause physical exhaustion. In severe cases, it will damage the heart. Leading to cardiac hypertrophy, etc., all harm but no benefit, donkey friends do it and cherish it!
