No appetite - Tibet has a high altitude. There are different degrees of altitude reaction in the first arrival of the plateau, and sometimes tourists with high anti-reflection often have no appetite.

We recommend that you bring a favorite snack, candy, chocolate and so on, when you enter Tibet then you can eat some to fill your stomach when you have no appetite. Vomiting - there are vomiting symptoms when the symptoms of high anti-reflection are severe. In this case, you must pay attention to the water and energy in real time, never start your journey with a hungry stomach.

Not used to eating - this is the most common. In fact, in Lhasa, Shigatse, Nyingchi and other large areas and cities, there are many choices to eat, especially Chinese Sichuan cuisine, even friends who cannot eat spicy food can choose not to put chili dishes.
Eat less and eat more meals - arrived in Lhasa, the body is adapting, so if you have an appetite, congratulations, please eat heartily, but still do not eat too much, slow digestion is one of the symptoms of high anti-reflection . When you eat less or haven't eaten yet, it's a good choice to eat small snacks, make sure don't starve yourself or support yourself.
Chew slowly - it takes strength to eat. Slow chewing can help you save some energy, so that the finer the food is chewed, the better the body will absorb it. Especially when you first arrive at the plateau, all parts of the body are adapting to the plateau, so all movements are slowed down as much as possible, which is more conducive to the body to adapt to the plateau.
