This excellent report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. This NASA reference provides a review the history of and current state of knowledge about the role of nutrition in human space flight. We have attempted to organize this from a more physiological point of view, and to highlight systems, and the nutrients that support them, rather than the other way around.
New risks to human health have been identified, including one related to vision changes in astronauts on ISS. We detail herein data suggesting a tie-in of the folate- and vitamin B12-dependent 1-carbon metabolism pathway with these changes. Recent publications have documented the effects of good nutrition and heavy resistance exercise on bone metabolism during space flight. After more than a half century of human space flight, this is the first evidence of the ability to mitigate the loss of bone mineral density in astronauts on long-duration missions. Although more work remains to be done, any progress is incredibly exciting.
