Wow! I need to read his high altitude article. Just posted it up to the forum today.cmoore85 said:the sun is safer at altitude says peat contrary to popular belief
When the weather in a particular place is cool, sunny and dry (which in itself is very good for the health) the atmospheric pressure usually is higher than average. Although sunny dry weather is healthful, periods of higher pressure correspond to an increased incidence of death from heart disease and strokes.
The Haldane-Bohr effect describes the fact that oxygen and carbon dioxide destabilize each other’s binding to hemoglobin. When oxygen pressure is high, the blood releases its carbon dioxide more easily. In stormy weather, or at high altitude, the lower oxygen pressure allows the body to retain more carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide, produced in the cells, releases oxygen into the tissues, relaxes blood vessels, prevents edema, eliminates ammonia, and increases the efficiency of oxidative metabolism.
Strange indeed...

I can't quite put this together. The sentence, "Although sunny dry weather is healthful, periods of higher pressure.... increased... death from heart disease and strokes."
Above 6k feet is what I remember him saying in an interview or writing.Rem said:post 312 What would be the minimal effective altitude ?
What would be the minimal effective altitude ? I believe Peat says that but I can't remember.
Currently listening to UFC fighter Cat Zingano describe how she moved from Denver to San Diego based on advice from the Mayo Clinic because the high-altitude was harmful for healing her injuries.
How often should one do bag breathing for altidute sickness prevention? Is 2 times a day enough ?
What else helps against it , I think vitmain b1 might help as it inhibits carbonic anhydrase as well.
