Khai Ho, 38-year-old self-described breatharian from Birkenhead, in the
UK, claims he can last up to three months at a time on only 100 calories
per week, surviving only on air, sunlight and the occasional mint
leaves.
Ho, who works as a pizza deliveryman, claims that he has never taken
much interest in food, constantly refusing his mother’s meals as a
child, but only started giving up food completely over long periods of
time four years ago, with the help of Hindu meditation. He says can last
up to three months without consuming any kind of food, apart from some
mint leaves to help with bitter taste in his mouth, and drinking water
only rarely, sometimes just once per week. Apparently, meditation helps
him absorb all the nutrients he needs from thin air and sunlight.
The 38-year-old breathrian said that before turning to meditation, he
would eat normal food once every three or four days, but now doesn’t
need to do that because he gets necessary nutrients from sunlight and
can even absorb moisture from the air around him. He admits that most
people think his crazy for fasting for months at a time, but claims that
some consider him “incredible at the same time.

Khai says that his breatharian lifestyle keeps him alert, fully aware of
his surroundings and gives him an overall amazing feeling. He adds that
he always has so much energy that he often struggles to sleep. The
meditation and lack of conventional sustenance has also cured of the
pain he constantly pain due to a liver problem. “I now know how to heal
the human body internally and naturally from many major diseases,” Ho
said in a recent interview.
The English breatharian said that he is living proof that active men
don’t really need 2,500 calories a day to survive, as traditional
science claims. Still, Ho says he would never try to stop people from
eating regular food, because everyone is free to do what they like.

Khai Ho claims that an added bonus of his food-free lifestyle is saving
a huge amount of money on food. Still, he admits that social outings can
be a bit awkward, as everyone around him is shoveling food into their
mouths while he just sits there.
Ho isn’t the only person in the world to claim that they can live on air
and sunlight alone. Last year, we featured breatharian couple Akahy
Ricardo and Camilla Costello, who claim they’ve survived on “cosmic
energy for the last decade. And then there was Kirby de Lanerolle, who
also fed on energy and only ate real food a few times a year. But these
were breatharian success stories. Unfortunately, they’re not all like
that. Back in 2012, we also wrote about a Swiss woman who died while
trying to survive on sunlight alone. Khai Ho himself admits that this is
a lifestyle that people should be guided into, not jump head first into. |
