Shubhanshu Shukla reveals how he had to ‘learn to eat again’ while in space: ‘You can eat water'
SHubhanshu Shukla shared a surprising picture that captured how he used to eat on solid food spell alongside the International Space Station (ISS). The first Indian to visit the ISS and the second Indian to go into space explained the routine astronauts have to follow while eating in zero gravity.“Food in space. Never thought I would have to learn to eat again. Here I am explaining why habits matter when you are eating in space. If you are not mindful you can easily create a mess and you don’t want to be that guy. Solid mantra that works for anything in space ‘Slow is Fast’,” Shukla wrote.Also Read: Astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's emotional note for wife before journey to spaceHow do astronauts digest food in space?He added, “Other interesting fact is we don’t need gravity to digest food. A process called ‘peristalsis’ is responsible for digestion which is gravity independent. It is the contraction and relaxation of muscles to push food down through the digestive tract. Head up or head down, gravity or no gravity your body will always digest food. Bon appetit.”The astronaut also shared a video of himself on the ISS. In the video, he says that eating and drinking in space is a challenge. He then goes on to show how everything is attached with Velcro so they don't float.In the video, he drinks coffee as the liquid floats around.
