A doctor has made a shocking recognition about the appearance of NASA Astronaut Sunita Williams after her return from space less than two weeks ago.
Williams seemed Broos and Lean after she and Crewmate, Butch Williams, on March 18 off the coast of Florida Splashdown after 288 days were in space.
Former astronauts have discovered that reversing the effects of long -term exposure to low gravity can last up to 1.5 times the length of the mission. This means that the couple to a year can be confronted before it fully recovers.
But Vinay Gupta, a pulmonologist and veteran in the Air Force, told DailyMail.com that the face of Williams looked fuller, less sunk when she and Wilmore gave their first interview today Fox News today.
“It seems that she just got better sleep,” he added. “She's back on flat ground. Her metabolism normalizes a kind of normal gravity. '
He also noticed that her body does not undergo the same stress as on the international space station (ISS) that is more than 230 miles above the earth's surface.
“She probably just eats healthier and is able to modulate and arrive,” the doctor went on. “I think two weeks probably was enough to just look healthier.”
Williams and Wilmore later spoke during a NASA press conference where she even said that her recovery was 'wonderful'.

Striking images taken immediately after Williams left the SpaceX Dragon Capsule who brought her and Wilmore home, showed her with noticeably grayer hair, deeper wrinkles and a more lean face.
Hours later the condition of the astronaut raised even more concern after medical experts had seen Williams' 'visibly thin' wrists, which they told that Dailymail.com could be a sign of rapid weight loss, muscle waste in her arms and loss of bone density.
Dr. Gupta, and many other medical professionals, said that Williams and Wilmore probably need rehabilitation for up to six weeks to get back into the base after life in low gravity so long.
Although their bodies are still recovering, the appearance of Williams is almost close to what it was before the launch on 5 June. She seemed to arrive and also painted her hair back to a dark brown, so that she added more life to her face.
Dr. Gupta said he was convinced that the astronauts are actually already past the recovery phase.
“I think the worst is probably far behind him,” the doctor explained.
“As soon as you are on a flat soil again, your body starts to heal and a little again,” he said.
Williams and Wilmore were initially planned to spend eight days at the ISS when they launched Boeing's Starliner -Ruimtaartiger for the first crewest flight of the capsule.

Williams was seen under her own strength when she met NASA officials at the Johnson Space Center in Houston in Houston, hours after the SpaceX Dragon Capsule Splashdown on March 18
While the two astronauts safely reached the space station, the Starliner plagued by the problem immediately began to experience serious technical problems.
By the time they had reached the station, five of Starliner's 28 bow screws and the vessel started leaking helium – the same problems that the Boeing project had postponed for years.
When it became clear that Starliner could not bring the astronauts home safely, the capsule was sent back to the earth and without a clear plan to bring the stranded astronauts home.
The duo would eventually spend more than nine months (286 days) in the Earth's course.
Both Williams and Wilmore, however, began to show the physical toll to be stranded for longer on the ISS before he returned to Earth in March.

In November, a nameless NASA -SRON DE New York Post That the agency climbed to “stabilize weight loss and hopefully turn it around.”
The limited employee who is 'directly involved in the mission' said that Williams 'was unable to keep up with the high caloric diets that should consume astronauts' during the ISS.
'The kilos have melted from her and she is now skin and bones. So it is a priority to help her stabilize the weight loss and hopefully to reverse, “said the NASA -Source.
Until that moment Dr. Gupta that the diets of these astronauts when they were back on earth may have had a lot to do with their endurance in space.
On Monday, Williams noticed in a NASA press conference that her father was a vegetarian and that her first meal was a sandwich with grilled cheese after returning from ISS.
Dr. Gupta explained that if Williams were shoving away from proteins based on meat, it could have caused her health problems in space.
“Fleesy sources of fat or proteins are usually Fattier, takes longer to digest, the tendency to tackle your metabolism for more rigorous activity,” Gupta noted.
Wilmore, however, seemed to retain his weight and complexion during their long stay in space.
NASA and the astronauts have not publicly revealed whether they have a huge different diets, so it is unknown whether their meal choices have played a role or not.
'If there was such a difference between what they took. I am not surprised at all that Sunita visibly looked thinner than her counterpart, “Dr. said. Gupta.
