photo of Williams taken on September 24 recently sparked concerns due to her &#8216;sunken&#8217; cheeks which suggested she&#8217;d rapidly lost weight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">More recent images also show her with a pronounced facial structure and a thinner frame &#8211; a concern given she still has three months until she returns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Publicly, NASA has said Williams&#8217; is &#8216;in good health&#8217; and that she&#8217;s been undergoing &#8216;routine medical evaluations&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But behind the scenes, the space agency has been scrambling to &#8216;stabilize the weight loss and hopefully reverse it,&#8217;

while on the ISS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Long-stay space missions take a toll on astronaut&#8217;s health, especially women, leading to weight loss, muscle breakdown, bone loss, heart and vision problems and kidney stones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-9ec4334e12a3eaf7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Shock-photos-show-physical-deterioration-of-stranded-NASA-astronaut-Sunita.jpeg\" height=\"1039\" width=\"634\" alt=\"NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore on June 5, gearing up for the Starliner launch that would deliver them to the International Space Station\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div>\n<p> <noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-9ec4334e12a3eaf7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Shock-photos-show-physical-deterioration-of-stranded-NASA-astronaut-Sunita.jpeg\" height=\"1039\" width=\"634\" alt=\"NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore on June 5, gearing up for the Starliner launch that would deliver them to the International Space Station\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore on June 5, gearing up for the Starliner launch that would deliver them to the International Space Station\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Female astronauts have been found to lose more weight &#8211;

It&#8217;s a real concern and everyone is taking it seriously.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">More recent photos, including one in which Williams and Wilmore pose for a group-shot with the other members of the Expedition 72 crew on October 4, show that Williams is still looking thin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">NASA declined to comment on the statements made by the anonymous agency employee, and instead referred DailyMail.com back to their original statement which asserts that all astronauts aboard the ISS are &#8216;in good health.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-3f7e740adc80acd0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1731192254_340_Shock-photos-show-physical-deterioration-of-stranded-NASA-astronaut-Sunita.jpeg\" height=\"641\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Wilmore (front left) and Williams (front right) pose with the other members of the\u00a0Expedition 72 crew for a photo posted on October 4\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div>\n<p> <noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-3f7e740adc80acd0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1731192254_340_Shock-photos-show-physical-deterioration-of-stranded-NASA-astronaut-Sunita.jpeg\" height=\"641\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Wilmore (front left) and Williams (front right) pose with the other members of the\u00a0Expedition 72 crew for a photo posted on October 4\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Wilmore (front left) and Williams (front right) pose with the other members of the\u00a0Expedition 72 crew for a photo posted on October 4<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The body burns more calories in space as it adjusts to the changes in gravity and tries to maintain its body temperature in cold, harsh conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;They have to eat about 3,500 to 4,000 calories per day, just to maintain their current weight,&#8217; the NASA source said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;And when you start falling behind, your weight drops fast.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">To prevent muscle and bone loss, astronauts exercise about 2.5 hours a day, which burns even more calories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">&#8216;T<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">here&#8217;s just things that the human body cannot adjust to, and one of which is, you know, she&#8217;s probably losing more calories than she&#8217;s intaking,&#8217; Dr Gupta said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">&#8216;Her body&#8217;s probably working harder to do basic things, because the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than it would be on sea level.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The problem of the body breaking down is a particular worry for women.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A study assembled by NASA in 2014 found that women have greater loss of blood plasma volume than men during spaceflight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And women\u2019s stress response characteristically includes a heart rate increase while men respond with an increase in vascular resistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The loss of blood plasma causes your metabolic rate to temporarily increase while your body mobilizes resources to adjust to the loss of plasma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And this response can slightly elevate your calorie burn, resulting in weight loss similar to what Williams may be experiencing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Another study released by Ball University in 2023 also found that women lose more muscle than men in a microgravity environment such as spaceflight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Williams and Wilmore still have to wait about three to four months until they can return to Earth on SpaceX&#8217;s Crew Dragon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that Williams&#8217; alleged health decline will impact this timeline.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Though the Starliner mission has extended significantly, Williams and Wilmore&#8217;s ISS mission will not be the longest one ever completed by an astronaut.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That record is held Russian cosmonauts\u00a0Oleg Kononenko and\u00a0Nikolai Chub, who returned to Earth aboard Russia&#8217;s Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft on September 23 after 374 days on the ISS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">More recently, a crew of four NASA\/SpaceX astronauts returned to Earth on October 25 after a 232-day stay on the ISS.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">All four crewmembers were taken to the hospital after splashing down. Three received medical evaluations and were discharged that same day, while one was kept for overnight observation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">NASA has not disclosed any details about why the astronauts required medical attention, or which one was kept overnight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8162386273903324\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7859258044\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-14055951\/sunita-williams-stranded-nasa-astronaut-deterioration-hospital.html?ns_mchannel=rss&#038;ns_campaign=1490&#038;ito=1490\">READ SOURCE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photos have revealed\u00a0NASA astronaut Sunita Williams&#8217; shocking weight loss as she and her crewmate remain stuck on the International Space Station (ISS).\u00a0 Williams, 59, and Barry Wilmore, 61, have been living on the ISS\u00a0for five months after Boeing&#8217;s faulty Starliner spacecraft was deemed unsafe to return them to Earth.\u00a0 A &#8216;gaunt&#8217; photo of Williams taken [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1345344,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_oct_exclude_from_cache":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1345343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
