Denver Real Estate

Denver is known as the “Mile High City” and living at a mile above sea level means your body must make some adjustments to function normally. It is not unusual for people coming to Denver from a lower altitude to experience light-headedness, dizziness, nausea, headaches, insomnia, nose bleeds, sun burns and dry skin. To make your trip here a pleasant experience begin to follow the steps given below a couple of days before coming to Denver and during the time you are here:

• Drink twice as much water as you do at home—minimum of one gallon of water a day!
• Decrease salt intake
• Moderate your physical activity—especially the first few days of the trip.
• Eat high carbohydrate and low fat meals
• Eliminate alcohol and reduce caffeine intake. Having one alcoholic drink in Denver is like three drinks at sea level!
• If you continue to feel sick do not hesitate to seek medical help!
• Always use sunscreen. (SPF 30+)
• Wear sun glasses.
• Bring extra clothes for sudden temperature changes.
• Use body lotion liberally!

Once you become acclimated to this altitude-usually within two weeks- you will begin to appreciate the benefits-like feeling warm on sunny days when the temperature is only 30 degrees; incredibly clear, blue skies; snow that melts the next day; being able to see all the way to Colorado Springs; cool summer nights with few bugs, living in the majesty of purple mountains…
