From technabob - this man has not eaten in 70 years
I came across a Nat Geo feature under the title taboo that featured an Indian, and his wife Fiona who are
breatharians There is a worldwide movement for this that espouse minimal eating, fasting, as way to immortality, more youth and energy.
This is perfect cure for world hunger, famine and poverty. Fasting, breatharianism have religious undertones. As fasting is a common practice among Christians, Hindus, Moslems, and Jews. You do not live on food for nourishment alone but from the sun, and Prana (or spirit)
In sports, fasting before a big race is prescribed; once a month fasting of 12 hours is prescribed for good health eating only apple juice, and biscuits from sun up to sundown. This it to rest the liver and excrete the body toxins
The movement started with Ellen Green, who is now known as Jasmuheen. She claims to have lived without food for years. There are two groups of breatharians: those who live on bread and wine (and water - has the last Supper connection) and those who are vegetarians.
There have been reports of deaths among some followers of Breatharian, though
But the idea would seem to have some scientific basis (if done with moderation). Takin a lot of meat, processed food brings in with toxins and chemicals that come with food processing.Wheat Bread we know, contribute to early aging.
