Why is it important for sailors to have a balanced diet?
When sailors are out at sea, they have no access to the land and its resources. A sailor must maintain a balanced diet in order for their body to receive all the nutrients it needs to function.

Now with technology, sailors can easily keep a balanced diet with the right foods and vitamins.
