Astronaut Sunita Williams Addresses Weight Loss Concerns in Space

Last week, a NASA photo of astronaut Sunita Williams, 59, raised concerns. She looked thin and her cheeks were sunken. But Williams, who's currently on a mission, says there's no need to worry. During a chat with the New England Sports Network Clubhouse Kids Show, she explained her appearance is due to something called "fluid shift. " This happens in space, making a person's head look bigger and their body appear thinner. She reassured everyone she's healthy.Astronauts experience weird things in space, like fluid shift. This is when body fluids move upwards due to lack of gravity. It's not harmful, but it can change how you look. Williams wants people to know she's doing fine. Space is a mysterious place. It affects our bodies in strange ways. But scientists and astronauts like Williams are learning more every day. This helps keep them safe and healthy during long missions.
