1. Sufficient thermal energy.

Of course, the determination of the amount of heat energy supplied depends mainly on the intensity of labor, and under the same conditions of labor intensity, people living in cold or plateau areas should supply about 10% more heat than people living in plain or warm areas. Among them, the protein supply should account for more than 10% of the total caloric energy, and it should contain high-quality protein. In cold areas, the fat content should be increased appropriately and sufficient vitamins should be supplied.

2. Adjust the number of meals to increase appetite.

One of the manifestations of altitude sickness is a decrease in appetite. In order to change this situation, we should try to diversify the preparation of meals in the morning, and pay attention to cooking techniques to make the color, aroma and taste good.

In the case of hypoxia at the plateau, due to excessive ventilation, carbon dioxide exhalation increases, making body fluids alkaline, and alkalosis can occur in severe cases. Therefore, increasing the composition of acidic foods can regulate the acid-base balance and benefit the body. Acidic foods are foods rich in anions such as chlorine, carbon, sulfur, phosphorus, bromine, iodine, etc., which can form hydrochloric acid, carbonic acid and phosphoric acid in the body.

Acidic foods include meat, poultry, fish, egg yolks, cream, cheese, cereals, peanuts and walnuts.

Pay attention to the peculiarities of the food in cooking.

The atmospheric pressure of the plateau is low, and the boiling point of water is lower, so the heating time of all kinds of foods is prolonged, especially large pieces of meat, cabbage and beans. It has been reported that the cooking time of meat, rice and vegetables is reported to increase by an average of 10 to 15 per cent at sea level at an altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level and by 50 to 80 per cent at an altitude of 4,000 metres. Therefore, for foods that are not easy to cook, such as meat, it is necessary to chop them small and minced before cooking; Hard foods, such as dried beans, nuts, dried vegetables and cereals, should be soaked before preparation.

Choose canned food, such as canned meat, canned fish, canned vegetables, and canned meals, which are effective and simple measures, and some can be eaten by just a little heat. Of course, it would be better if you could use a pressure cooker to make meals.
