No food or drink for 65 years.
Jani, who claims to have lived without food or water since his childhood, was under the close watch of three video cameras 24 hours a day. Researchers conducted various medical tests on him. The research team, consisting of 35 scientists, could not find any evidence that Jani ate or drank anything during the 15 days.
Doctors have not found any adverse effects in his body from hunger or dehydration. They think that yoga exercises may have caused Jani’s body to undergo a biological transformation. The researchers said tests found that his brain is equivalent to that of a 25-year-old.
In fact, according to the Daily Mail, the doctors said that after fasting for two weeks, Jani was healthier than the average 40 year old.
I have been reading about Jani and his Breatharian practices. The idea of having the ability to transform sunlight into nourishment has some really appealing plus’s, but I like food. From what I have been reading about the current obesity epidemic, I find all sorts of contributory explanations for it, sedentary lifestyle, processed foods, high fructose corn syrup, availability of cheap calorie dense foods, etc. But after thinking about this Yogi and reading about his practice of Sun Gazing I am starting to wonder if maybe people are just eating more because they are in the sun less. In the last 30 years people have been frightened into avoiding sun exposure because of cancer and wrinkling and everyone slathers on SPF 55 sun screens when they do decide to go outside. Vitamin D (the sunshine vitamin) has popped up lately as being deficient in most people’s diet and of course there is a pharmaceutical being sold to take care of this deficiency. I understand that vitamin D is synthesized in the body by exposing the skin to sunlight and that Vitamin D is more of a hormone than a vitamin. Being a hormone, it seems that this deficiency could be a contributing culprit in the regulating of appetite. Just curious, think I will get way from the computer awhile, go outside, and get skinny.
