13. Are there any preventative measures we can take? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Being healthy and careful is important to prevent Earth illnesses or trauma in space. For spaceflight problems, special prevention, therapy and/or rehabilitation programs are necessary. For example, to prevent motion sickness, a sea-sickness prevention pill could be taken before going into space. To prevent fainting on return to Earth one could wear a g-suit during re-entry of the spacecraft and during the first day after landing.
