Article Synopsis
- - Scuba diving is popular and entails various health impacts due to high-pressure underwater environments, influencing breathing and metabolism, which can increase the risk of decompression sickness caused by nitrogen bubbles in tissues.
- - Nutrition plays a significant role in a diver's response to stresses like inflammation and oxidative stress, but current guidelines are more focused on saturation divers, leaving recreational divers without tailored nutritional advice.
- - This review aims to consolidate existing nutritional recommendations for recreational divers, suggest daily caloric intake based on workload, and highlight the lack of research connecting diet with diver safety and health.
