Regular physical activity can help control blood lipid abnormalities, diabetes and obesity. Aerobic physical activity can also help reduce blood pressure; Heart becomes more "elastic," A poor and unhealthy diet of large amounts of fat, salt, and sugar reduces the flow of blood and nutrients to the heart and can thus lead to a build up plaque and ultimately, a myocardial infarction or Coronary Artery disease

question
At higher elevations, there are hypoxic conditions (oxygen deprivation). At certain high elevations, oxygen is scarce and this lack of oxygen can potentially cause brain damage or a loss of brain cells. Climbers want to return to lower elevations during sleep for sufficient oxygen supply, and advance when they are awake. Aside for just sleep, Climbers may also return to lower elevations for a "resting period."
answer
Explain the rationale for mountain climbers' to continuously return to lower elevations before climbing into hypoxic conditions.
