Do Saiyan Pods freeze you for long trips?

In the original Manga it’s implied that Vegeta and Nappa Justin stayed in their pods for a whole year. Kind of raises a lot of questions about how one survives that. During the battle on Earth in the Viz translation Nappa says he’s been in “suspended animation”. Is this a Viz-ism? What does the original say? What are the ramifications of being stuck in a pod for a year of you’re NOT frozen? The anime at least has them make a pit stop at Arlia. If they make stops in the manga continuity I’d like to see what Toriyama version of that WOULDVE been.
