Sleeping at higher attitudes promote fitness as it provides enough exposure to stimulate the production of new red blood cells, whilst allowing you to maintain training quality at sea level.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Apollo India Full Health Screen Test or Take a ACID PHOSPHATASE - PROSTATIC FRACTION Test
