Acclimatization is not a disease, but a natural process of adaptation of the organism to new conditions of life. Therefore, it is not treated, no matter how people try to convince themselves of it. In order for the adaptation to pass more sparing, it is important to deal with one's own health in advance. During the year, you need to strengthen immunity, monitor the quality of nutrition, exercise and breathing exercises in the mornings, as well as visit the gym for more intense training.
