Maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet is essential for seafarers who face unique challenges in staying healthy while on board ships. Limited access to fresh foods, irregular meal schedules, environmental conditions and long working house can all contribute to unhealthy eating habits, leading to low energy levels, weight gain, and potential long term health issues. However, with some planning and awareness, seafarers can adopt healthier eating habits that will improve their overall health, mental wellbeing and increase energy levels.
