Why mountain air is so healthy: the benefits of mountain air at a glance
Mountain air is more than just fresh air; it has unique properties that benefit our health in several ways. The combination of lower humidity and lower oxygen levels makes your breathing more efficient. Although you may initially suffer from fatigue in the high mountains due to the thin air, this air is actually very good for you in the long term. Your body will produce more red blood cells to compensate for the lack of oxygen. These blood cells transport oxygen from your lungs to your muscles more quickly and efficiently and remove waste products. The more red blood cells in your blood, the better your body functions. After a few days of acclimatization, the symptoms of fatigue disappear, and when you return to your own country, you will notice that your condition has improved. Top athletes, such as professional cyclists, make good use of the benefits of mountain air by doing an altitude internship. With Altitude Spaces altitude tents you can even experience these benefits in your own home.

Benefits of mountain air for physical and mental health
The mountains are less densely populated than the cities in our country, which means there are fewer exhaust fumes in the air. The higher you go, the less moisture, dust and pollen there is. House dust mites also do not survive at altitude. This ensures that you can breathe more freely. That is why lung patients have been seeking spas in the mountains for centuries. The serene environment of the mountains also plays an important role in reducing stress. We supply the clean air and it can be perfectly supplemented at home with green images in the room to simulate soothing nature and contribute to a better night’s sleep. People who regularly travel to mountainous areas often experience less anxiety and sleep better. With an altitude tent or altitude chamber you can create this relaxing atmosphere at home and give yourself the opportunity to completely relax and enjoy many benefits of mountain air. The beauty of nature and clear air can improve your mood and increase your mental clarity.
Spending time in an environment with mountain air helps you feel better, and with an altitude chamber you make these benefits accessible no matter where you are.
With the altitude tents and altitude chambers from Altitude Spaces you can experience all these benefits yourself. Bring the healthy atmosphere of the mountains into your own home and work towards a healthier, happier life.
