Fond of fresh air? How would you like to live solely on it's substance? Try joining the Breatharian Club!

Fresh air
A Breatharian is someone whose diet, if you can call it that, involves eating and drinking in nothing but fresh air. No food is consumed as Breatharians claim that they are sustained by 'light energy/prana' alone.

Obviously with what we all know about health and nutrition, you can easily assume that there aren't many Breatharians around as they've pretty much all starved to death by now, or are surely on their way there.

There has been no incontrovertible proof that a Breatharian can really survive without food or water as they only case ever studied scientifically, Ellen Greve, after only a handful of days of not eating or drinking quit the study due to feeling unwell. She apparently cited stress as the actual cause of her illness.

Most Breatharians as you might expect do have a limited life span - unless of course you're the same type of 'Breatharian' as Wiley Brooks who was caught sneaking into a hotel and ordering a chicken pie.
