The cost of national defense is inherently high, and the air force, as a high-tech arm, is naturally more expensive than the army and navy. As the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. If nothing else, let's talk about the air force's food standards. At present, the adjusted dietary standards of the PLA are: 1 1 yuan per person per day for first-class stoves, 13 yuan for second-class stoves, 23 yuan for third-class stoves and 39 yuan for fourth-class stoves. Air crew members belong to four types of stoves, and the standard of food per person per day is 39 yuan, which is the highest standard of the People's Liberation Army.
Eating well is because it consumes a lot. It is understood that it is enough for ordinary people to consume about 2,400 calories a day, but aircrew pilots should consume at least 3 100 calories a day, which shows that pilots consume a lot.
Eating is more like a pilot's task. A nutritionist in the air force once said that when a pilot flies in the air, his energy is highly concentrated, he is always in a state of high tension and his physical strength is consumed quickly. Being in a high altitude and closed engine room, its digestive and metabolic functions are greatly affected. Therefore, pilots should not eat too much or be too hungry when flying. And there are many dietary taboos, such as some indigestible foods with high fat and protein content, crude fiber foods such as celery and leeks, foods that are prone to flatulence such as radishes and soybeans, and even soda water.
Pay more attention to diet and consider the flight safety of pilots. If the pilot eats radish, it is not suitable for flying, because at high altitude, in a closed environment, the pilot's flatulence is no joke. So eating is more like a pilot's task. Pilots' diets are often specially provided according to the needs of flight missions. For example, what to eat in high-altitude flight, what to supplement in night flight and how to eat in long-term day and night flight are all formulated according to the actual flight situation of pilots.
Some people will say why it is so troublesome, and there is no way to use the words of the Air Force as "everything is for flying". Pay tribute to the pilots of the Air Force and the People's Liberation Army who fought to defend the motherland!
