Doctor weighs in on stranded NASA astronaut Sunita Williams' weight loss 'rumors'

Daily Mail

A doctor has raised more concerns about the health of a stranded NASA astronaut after she released a bizarre video addressing speculation about her weight.

Sunita Williams, 59, broke her silence Tuesday to address weight loss 'rumors,' saying a 'fluid shift' caused by microgravity had made her head look bigger.

During spaceflight, weightlessness instantly shifts blood and fluids from the lower portion of the body to the upper areas.

But Dr David Shaker, an internist at Holy Name Physicians in Hackensack, New Jersey, told DailyMail.com that fluid shift likely wouldn't result in the 'decreased nutritional appearance' shown in recent photos.

Dr Shaker looked at several images of Williams from the ISS and said that she did not seem to have a healthy body weight.

'This, to me, strikes me as low nutrition - low-calorie intake,' he said.

Does Dr. Shaker have experience with space medicine?
