Breatharian survives on air, eats nothing but mint for months at a time
An alleged ‘breatharian’ claims that he eats nothing but the odd mint for months at a time, surviving, instead, on air.
According to Khai Ho, who works as a pizza delivery guy, he’s never felt hunger and food has apparently never appealed to him.
The 38-year-old from Liverpool reckons he collects all the nutrients he needs from the air and can survive on 100 calories a week.
He further claims that his bent towards Hindu form of meditation enables him to give up food for three months at a time.
Khai, who weighs a healthy 82.5 kgs, says he only eats mints to stop the "bitter taste" in his mouth.
And despite delivering hot food to people every day, Khai says he never feels tempted by it - and even claims to be happier and healthier for it.
Inedia or breatharianism is the belief that it is possible for a person to live without consuming food or water.
Khai only eats small amounts of food and little water while mainly surviving on mints or chewing gum for a fresh taste.
Breatharians claim that food, and in some cases water, are not necessary for survival, and that humans can be sustained solely by prana, the vital life force in Hindu religion.
