EatingWell:While in space, how were you able to stay hydrated?
Gerardi:This is such a great question.
Hydration is so important, especially because it relates to your G tolerance as well.
A fun fact is that I did have a diaper available to me.
Hydration is something that is still very important to me even on Earth.
EatingWell:What was the recovery process like when returning from space?
Gerardi:The biggest standout was just the adrenaline crash.
The other standout physical aspect after my space flight was really just to be emotional.
EatingWell:Could you talk more about your partnership with SunChips?
And so this campaign was just so exciting.
EatingWell:Do you have any plans for the solar eclipse?
Im excited to share that with three generations of women in my family.
EatingWell:Do you have a morning routine that you stick by?
Breakfast is something that we share together as a family and then everyone goes on their own way.
EatingWell:Whats your go-to breakfast?
Those are the staples in our household.
EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?
It’s not just what I’m eating, it’s who I’m eating with.
