Tips for High Alti­tude Liv­ing in the Den­ver Area
  • Don’t overdo exer­cise the first day or two. Let your body adjust.
  • Use sun­screen with an SPF rat­ing of least 15.
  • Drink more liq­uids than you would at sea level. Den­ver is very dry and it’s easy to become dehydrated
  • Drink less alco­hol and con­sume less rich foods
Symp­toms of alti­tude sickness-Seek med­ical atten­tion if you have these symptoms
  • Trou­ble sleeping
  • Headache
  • Nau­sea, Diar­rhea, Upset Stomach
  • Fatigue
  • Dizzi­ness
  • Dif­fi­culty breath­ing, cough­ing, confusion

Cook­ing at Elevation

The ele­va­tion also has strange effects on cook­ing. Water boils at a lower tem­per­a­ture, food won’t cook faster, the cook must learn to allow a longer time for any­thing that requires cook­ing in boil­ing water, pasta, pota­toes, rice, beans, etc. Slow cook­ing or brais­ing will require an extra hour of cook­ing for every 1,000 feet above 4,000 feet above sea level. Bak­ing can be a dis­as­ter when atten­tion is not paid to the instruc­tions. Box cake mixes come with high alti­tude cook­ing instruc­tions included.
