Conclusion

Maintaining our health in space and on Earth is crucial to astronauts and people on the ground. It is one of the biggest responsibilities of people. Astronauts undergo extreme training and meticulous planning and take extreme precautions to ensure their bodies are less prone to damage, diseases, and infections on the ground and in orbit. If it does come to the case that something does happen the space agency will treat them and make sure they can withstand all the major problems of being in orbit. Their main essentials of mostly being prone to illnesses are a good night's rest, a nutritious meal, and proper physical activity throughout the day.
