Here are the following health conditions that these astronauts may encounter:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Muscle_Atrophy\"><\/span><b>1. Muscle Atrophy<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Space, astronauts experience weightlessness. Thus, their muscles lose their ability to bear weight as they do on Earth. It may lead to muscle atrophy in the back, legs, and neck muscles. Muscle atrophy can be defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass or thinning of the muscle mass. It may lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, poor balance, difficulty in performing regular activities, and even tough to stand or walk on their own <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as they enter gravity again<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Bone_Loss\"><\/span><b>2. Bone Loss\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If astronauts spend more time in Space, there is up to 1% bone density loss every month. With this, their body strength also depletes. It happens because their body fails to take support<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/weight-bearing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the legs, hips, and spine in Space. It can increase their chances of bone fractures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dizziness\"><\/span><b>3. Dizziness<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">microgravity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, astronauts\u2019 bodies go into a weightlessness zone, which temporarily shifts the blood flow to the chest and head. It temporarily turns their face puffy. Moreover, their legs shrink due to fluid redistribution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Vision_Issues\"><\/span><b>4. Vision Issues\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the cosmic adventure, astronauts Williams and Wilmore might experience a difference in their eyesight. Since the fluid movement is disturbed and goes inside the skull, it can cause swelling at the back of their eyes, leading to vision impairment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Baby_Feet\"><\/span><b>5. Baby Feet\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In microgravity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the skin and feet of the astronauts can feel soft like babies. That\u2019s why this condition is called baby feet. Also, as they relearn walking, they may feel pain and quirky challenges in getting back to normal life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Cancer_Risk\"><\/span><b>6. Cancer Risk<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts have state<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d\/warned<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about an increased risk of cancer as the astronauts have been exposed to 100 times higher radiation than Earth. It can pose long-term health risks, which include a risk of cancer. Moreover, their impact may be irreversible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Psychological_Changes\"><\/span><b>7. Psychological Changes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The journey from Space to Earth won\u2019t just bring physical changes, but also psychological changes.
