Summary

This study looks at what happens to the body when healthy men stay in bed and eat fewer calories for 10 days, similar to conditions in space. Researchers will measure changes in muscles, heart, blood, brain, and more. The goal is to understand how the body responds to these combined stresses, not to treat any disease.
