Have you ever imagined the life in space? The following will show you the astronauts’ daily life.

● Eating in space

If you go camping for more than a week with some friends, you will make sure you have plenty of foods and keep them properly. At the end of your camping trip, you would deal with your rubbish properly before the ride home.

Astronauts almost do the same thing when they go to space. Preparation changes with the food type. Some foods can be eaten in their natural forms, such as chocolate cakes and fruits. Other foods require adding water, such as cheese. Of course, an oven is provided at the space station to heat the food. But there are no fridges, so space food must be kept properly.

● Sleeping in space

After a long day at work, nothing is better than a good night’s sleep! Just like on the earth, in space astronauts go to bed at a certain time, then get up and prepare for work again. When going to sleep, they have to attach themselves, so they don’t float ( 漂浮 ) around or hit their bodies against something. They usually use sleeping bags located in small crew cabins ( 乘员舱 ). Each crew cabin is just big enough for one person. Generally, astronauts have an eight-hour sleep each day when they finish their task.

● Doing sports in space

Exercise is an important part of every astronaut’s daily life to prevent muscle loss ( 肌肉萎缩 ). Usually, astronauts exercise two hours every day. Lifting 200 pounds on the earth may be a lot of work. But lifting that same object in space would be much easier. That means the things for exercise need to be specially designed, so astronauts can receive the exercise needed.

Living in space is not just all work and no play. Astronauts have fun, too. They like to look out the window and play with their food. Fun plays an important role in the quality of their life.

Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance or eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like not eating enough food, genes( 基因 ) and aging( 老化 ).

Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you’d better take a break every once in a while.

Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes’ too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water.
