Walk slowly and gently; avoid large or fast movements, especially uphill or climbing stairs. 2. Occasionally take deep breaths or carry an oxygen cylinder to supplement oxygen and maintain normal blood oxygen levels. 3. Strong UV radiation, take precautions against sunburn. 4. Dry air, take precautions to moisturize. 5. Changeable weather, layering clothing and carrying rain gear is a safe bet. Background music: Royalty-free music by Lefu: / @nocopyrightmusic-ed2qv
