Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining health and performance during space travel. Space tourists must adapt to a different dietary regime, as traditional cooking methods are not possible in microgravity. Understanding the principles of space nutrition, including the types of food available, their nutritional content, and how they are prepared and consumed, is essential.

Preparing yourself for these dietary changes can enhance your comfort and well-being during your journey.
