But you can also do these simple things to prepare your body in the weeks before your trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Light_Exercise\"><\/span>Start Light Exercise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Begin walking 20 to 30 minutes every day. This improves your stamina and helps your lungs work better. You do not need to do anything intense \u2014 just regular, gentle movement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_Hydrated\"><\/span>Stay Hydrated<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink at least 3 to 4 litres of water daily. Dehydration makes altitude sickness worse. Start this habit at least two weeks before your travel date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Healthy\"><\/span>Eat Healthy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focus on:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh fruits and vegetables<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, and beans (especially if you are anaemic)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-salt food to help control blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid oily, heavy foods in the days before travel<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stop_Smoking_and_Alcohol\"><\/span>Stop Smoking and Alcohol<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you smoke, try to stop or reduce it at least 2 weeks before the trip. Smoking affects lung function and makes breathing at altitude harder. Alcohol also reduces your body&#8217;s ability to adjust to high altitudes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Enough_Sleep\"><\/span>Get Enough Sleep<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep at least 7 to 8 hours every night in the weeks before travel. A well-rested body handles altitude much better.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chardham Yatra by helicopter is a beautiful and deeply meaningful experience.
