Hydration at Altitude: Understanding the Physiology and Managing It Effectively

Air travel exposes the human body to an environment unlike anything encountered on the ground. Cabins are engineered for safety and relative comfort, but the physiological stressors of altitude, including reduced oxygen availability, altered hormonal signalling, and extremely low humidity, create a perfect storm for dehydration. While jet lag and circadian disruption are often the focus of discussion, the physiological impact of altitude on hydration is a distinct challenge in its own right and demands targeted management.

Scientific consensus began to shift. Sugar wasn’t just energy, it became a metabolic risk. Excess glucose intake was now linked to obesity, Type 2 diabetes, systemic inflammation, and chronic disease.

 

Cutting Through The Bull

Cutting Through The Bull

Red Bull’s functional origin (jet lag) was lost in translation as it became a lifestyle product.
