Episode notes
High-Altitude Breathing
- Use nose strips to improve oxygen intake at high altitudes for better cognitive function and memory.
- Emphasize nasal breathing, especially during inhale, for enhanced cognitive sharpness.
Vision in Low-Oxygen
- Vision can be severely impaired in low-oxygen environments, similar to those experienced in space.
- NASA research reveals potential glaucoma-like effects and other visual impairments in such conditions.
Creatine at Altitude
- Consider creatine supplementation at high altitudes for cognitive benefits and mitigating negative altitude effects.
- Creatine's benefits extend beyond muscle building, impacting the forebrain's creatine phosphate system.
