Recovering from Your Mount Everest Expedition
Returning from an Everest trekking adventure takes a toll on the body. You will likely have lost weight and be exhausted. Proper recovery is essential to bounce back to normal life.
Your body has been working overtime at altitude. Expect to sleep a lot for the first week back. This is normal. Your muscles are rebuilding after the grueling hike to the Mount Everest summit base.
You likely burned more calories than you consumed. Eat protein-rich foods and fresh vegetables to replenish vitamins that were scarce on the trail. Rehydrate fully.
Missing the mountains is real. Going from the majesty of the Everest summit to an office desk is a shock. sorting photos and planning your next trek helps the transition.
The blisters heal, but the memories last forever. Give yourself time to adjust.
