Original: Nutritional Countermeasures to Spaceflight Studied at URI | Newswise

Researchers at the University of Rhode Island are studying nutritional countermeasures to the negative effects of spaceflight on the human body. The work aims to identify diets or supplements that could protect astronauts' health during long-duration missions. Details of the findings and funding have not been reported, and reaction so far appears limited to the initial announcement.

Why now: Growing interest in astronaut health as space agencies prepare for long-duration missions such as trips to Mars.
