Lack of atmospheric oxygen (exogenous hypoxia) in residents of high mountain areas leads to functional disturbances of blood circulation, blood composition, activity of tissue respiration enzymes and resulting other biochemical abnormalities, causing a number of diseases. And the open mines operating in these regions create an unfavorable ecological environment, contributing to the deepening of functional disorders of the body among the population. Adolescents in this region are also at risk for the development of pathological processes. These risks can be reduced, and diseases can be prevented using non-drug means, using herbs with antihypoxic effects and special breathing exercises.
