Study by Mount Royal University finds kidneys play a role in the determination to adapt to higher altitudes.

People with more red blood cells have a higher capacity to carry oxygen throughout the body.

As people breathe more and exhale more carbon dioxide, the balance of acid and base in their bodies gets skewed, which affects people’s ability to generate energy.
