The Study of Nutritional Requirements and Physiological Changes in Space Station
Abstract: This article focuses on the impact of physiological adaptations to weightlessness on nutrient and food requirements in space. These modifications entail reductions in body water and plasma volume, which affect the cardiovascular and renal systems. Spaceflight poses intricate and predominantly detrimental effects on the human body, spanning both short and long durations. Long-term weightlessness leads to significant issues like muscle atrophy, skeletal deterioration, cardiovascular function deceleration, reduced red blood cell …
