Sailors all know how important diet is to the crew. If you eat potatoes, vegetables or meat on land for two months, you will get bored and have little effect on your health. If the same dish is at sea, you will be malnourished, feel tired, always sleepy, inattentive and unresponsive. Why? Because you have been drifting at sea for a long time, people are easily tired even if they don't work. The ocean is dynamic, and so are ships. In fact, your body function has been struggling in the swing, looking for balance, and it is also consuming your energy. People who have been sailing for a long time have this feeling. They are prone to anorexia and cannot eat more. Eating full is not suitable for the eating habits on board, and eating too much is not good for the stomach.
Living at sea for a long time has another problem. It is easy to get hungry! People who work feel much more tired than those who work on land, especially those who are exposed to sunlight and air in high temperature environment. The salinity in the ocean air is high, so they are thirsty easily. My home is by the sea, and there are many fish people. There is a popular saying here that "the mountains are full of hunger", to the effect that you should eat less when you go up the mountain. If you are full of food and drink, go swimming at once, and you will want to relieve yourself later. Another meaning is that there are wild fruits to eat in the mountains, and it is easy to get hungry when going out to sea.
In short, the working environment at sea is different from that on land. It is not suitable for three meals a day, but eating less and more meals, which has the least impact on the gastrointestinal function of the body. Secondly, drink plenty of water. In high temperature environment, people exposed to the deck should drink water every 20 minutes, or drink mung bean soup in hot days and hot drinks in winter, even if they don't feel thirsty, to keep their body temperature and avoid fatigue. Crew diet is an international topic, and there are people who specialize in it. Do you think it's important? Why Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean has dark circles is caused by unbalanced nutrition. Therefore, the crew who sailed for a long time in the early days were prone to septicemia and dark circles due to lack of food such as vegetables. There is a healthy diet pyramid for seafarers in the world, which defines the requirements for diet.
Let's start with the seven meals of the "Shandong" aircraft carrier. First of all, the cookhouse squad on the aircraft carrier needs to prepare seven meals a day, not everyone has to eat seven meals; There are many crew members on the aircraft carrier, all of whom are on duty in shifts. They take turns to work. Eating on the aircraft carrier is not a unified meal, but a staggered meal for different classes. The aircraft carrier is always on duty to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the aircraft carrier. The duty time of the aircraft carrier is different from the three shifts we are used to. I don't know how to shift gears. Some posts are either in three shifts or not in shifts according to the agreed time. Usually in the morning class, I don't like breakfast very much, just eat light food to avoid eating too much and being hungry when I sleep. The "Shandong" aircraft carrier prepares seven meals, one of which is suitable for normal shift personnel. In addition, there are two kinds of casual meals and two kinds of dinners, which are suitable for shift meals and supplementary meals for people in different positions.
You can eat nutritious and high-energy food before you are on duty. As long as you exercise on the aircraft carrier, your body will be particularly tired, but you can't eat too much, which is not good for your stomach.
The reason why "Shandong" aircraft carrier only prepares seven meals is mainly based on the number of personnel, work intensity and the protection of crew health. Some posts on "Shandong" and "Liaoning" are double matches. In order to train the crew of the next aircraft carrier, there are many personnel configurations, and the specific situation is unknown. It is necessary to ensure that they are full of food and energy, and also to ensure a healthy diet. So the logistics staff is very hard. There have been many food poisoning incidents caused by food mildew on American aircraft carriers, mainly because thousands of aircraft carriers prepare more food at one time, resulting in fewer people eating, more leftovers and improper preservation. I don't know what to do with the leftovers on the aircraft carrier. Normally, leftovers are not eaten on cargo ships. Preparing two more meals will undoubtedly avoid waste.
