Living in a mountain is healthier. Original hypoxia is helping.

Apart from fresh air, less pollution, and health benefits, the study found that the low-oxygen environment in the highlands also helps to increase the body's antioxidant capacity and reduce the number of free radicals that harm organs and tissues. Not surprisingly, many people went to the high mountains. I often feel refreshed physically and mentally.

Chen Chaofeng, professor of physiology at National Taiwan University School of Medicine, said that free radicals are free substances in the human body and affect the changes of lipids, proteins, and DNA in the body. They are an important cause of many diseases; but in recent years, foreign academics have discovered that organs,
After the tissue is treated with local hypoxia, its free radical content will be reduced, but it will be less vulnerable to damage and lesions.

In order to verify his rotation, he kept the white mouse in a low-pressure, low-oxygen environment equivalent to 5,500 meters above sea level, and compared it to mice raised at the water level. The results showed that the blood free radicals of hypoxic rats. The content is at least 40% less than that of the flat mouse, and the free radical content of the kidney epidermis is also significantly lower, and the antioxidant substances such as SOD are higher.

Coincidentally, similar research was found in the research of Zheng Jianting, an associate researcher at the Medical Research Department of National Taiwan University Hospital. He tested amateur climbers and people who had been working in the mountains for more than 2,000 meters. As a result, the antioxidants in mountain workers were significantly higher than those in flats. The antioxidants in mountaineers were also three days after climbing. Higher than before climbing.

Zheng Jianting analyzed that this may be due to the fact that the hypoxic environment facilitates the metabolism of the human body, activates the ability to proliferate red blood cells, and then increases the protective protein against free radicals. Therefore, when people are active in low oxygen mountains, their antioxidant capacity is particularly good. It is also an important reason for those who live in high mountains for better health and easier longevity.

However, due to excessive lack of oxygen, it will lead to a large number of free radicals, harmful to the human body; therefore, what degree of hypoxia is only beneficial? How long can its effect last? Scholars are still studying it. However, it is certain that alpine hypoxia activities are often used and should be beneficial to health. In medical treatment, moderate transient ischemia and hypoxia treatment may also reduce the occurrence of organ and tissue lesions.

In addition, Chen Chaofeng is studying some special genes that may regulate this function. If one can find ways to control these genes, the same antioxidant effect will be obtained without having to go to alpine hypoxia.
