It has been 155 days since Sunita Williams went to the International Space Station. When she went on this mission, she had to return in just 8 days. But, now it has been 155 days. Now its effect is starting to affect his health also.
59 year old Indian-origin American astronaut Sunita Williams is losing weight rapidly. You can easily guess this from the recent pictures. Let us know today in this news whether a person in space becomes thinner faster than on earth. If yes, then what is the reason behind this.
how much weight has been lost
By looking at the pictures of Sunita Williams that have recently come from the International Space Station (ISS), you will understand how her body has changed compared to before. An employee of the American space agency NASA told in an interview given to ‘The New York Post’ that Sunita Williams’ weight has reduced much less than before and now she is only a skeleton.
For the scientists, stopping their weight loss and increasing it is the priority on which they are working. Let us tell you, when 5 feet 8 inches tall Sunita Williams went to the International Space Station, her weight was about 63 kg, which has now reduced a lot.
Why does weight loss occur rapidly in space?
According to reports, astronauts living in space have to take twice as many calories as people living on earth. If a person living in space does not take the required calories every day, his weight will start falling rapidly. However, scientists are investigating why Sunita Williams’ weight is decreasing so rapidly. Let us tell you, a common woman on earth has to take about 1600 to 2400 calories every day to maintain her weight. Whereas, if someone wants to gain weight, he will have to take up to 5,000 calories daily.
