"Space dietitians have discovered that increasing fruits, vegetables, and fish in the diets of astronauts — compared to their standard rations — can provide multiple health and performance outcomes."
So can a careful diet of Astro Pops and Moon Pies. Oh, you meant a *positive* outcome? Well then, you should have specified.
My dog once ate an entire tub of dry fish food flakes. This resulted in several days of the worst fishy smelling sharts ever to have been inflicted on mortal man. I wonder if the veg/fish heavy diet has a similar effect within the confines of a space capsule and if this will be the eventual cause of them just cracking open a window for a minute.........I feel that further research is warranted.
I've wanted to go to space for years, since I watched the moon landings in 1969. But if I have to eat fish when I get there? Well, there are some things that humans shouldn't eat (even in Berlin where it is rumoured that one high end hotel is currently offering a fish special in the remains of its restaurant).
It is exceedingly important to monitor your diet in space because it’s a deadly, hostile, barren environment in which there is absolutely nothing to do whatsoever. So that’s why you need to carefully watch what goes “in,” plus whatever comes back “out” again.
It’s important to have varied activities to pursue when you become permanently locked in your space can, cuz otherwards you might go nuts-o.
