While the ISS and his journey on Earth is an example for all those future astronauts, it is also important to understand how the body reacts to these changes between gravity and microgravity.
In this article, we will understand how the human body reacts to microgravity and then after a long time after entering the gravity force.

Shubhanshu Shukla Health Update Post ISS Mission
According to experts, astronauts will undergo 7 10-day rehabilitation protocol post -landing including physical, heart, vision, balance, immunity and mental health check-up.
See details about health issues after re -entering the Earth’s gravity:
Muscle atrophy
Muscle atrophy, also known as muscle weakness, is one of a general health problem that faces every astronaut. This is mainly caused by low activity when the body is subject to microgravity.
Loss of bone density
Bone damage from microgravity is addressed through exercises and remedies monitored. Astronauts often wear compression garments and pass through fluid-loading protocols to stabilize blood pressure.
To correct this problem, astronauts are designed to follow strength and heart training to restore their ability to walk normally and to function.
According to reports, studies have shown that astronauts lose up to 1 2% bone density per month, which is equal to a decade aging in a few weeks in ISS.
Heart health issues
During his stay in the ISS, astronauts also develop some issues with their hearts, called space-inspired cardiovascular problems. Without pulling gravity, the amount of blood and heart function drop orthostatic intolerance, dizziness, and lead to aerobic ability on earth.
Psychological adjustment
In addition to physical health issues, astronauts are also suffering from severe stress and mental problems, such as irritability, sleep disturbances, and concentration issues are called “temporary”.
Talking to the media, Union Minister Jithendra Singh said, “Shubhanshu Shukla will undergo a series of post-mission processes in California.” Some SOPs are to be followed … their rehabilitation, debrifling session and a series of discussions with team ISRO.
