I have an opportunity to live beside Lake Galilee in Israel for several months - Lake Galilee is around 200 metres/650 BELOW sea level.
Based on people's understanding on this forum (and also Ray Peat's views) would living at this location for months on end cause a worsening of chronic health conditions? Or an improvement?
I know that living at altitude has lots of health benefits, and staying at sea level is detrimental...but would heading below sea level actually be worse?
Or is it that living at sea level is detrimental to health, and anything that gets you away from sea level (irrespective of direction - up or down) would lead to an improvement?
Reason I ask is because historically the Lake Galilee region has always been bustling with life...it's only in the last several hundred years that that has died down. Plus, half the events in the New Testament take place around this region. I find it odd that if living below sea level was so detrimental to health, this place would be a magnet for both spiritual and physical life.
I've read some posts on here that Ray mentioned how living below sea level is detrimental - I wasn't able to find any of these articles or recordings. If anyone could link to them I'd really appreciate it.
