Seattle-based Navenna Shine has given up food, replacing it with sunbathing. She has already withstood such an experiment for a month and is going to continue it for six months.
A 60-year-old American woman decided to test her body for strength. On the videos that she regularly uploads to the Internet, she says that she is not going to surprise scientists, and her experiment is important only for herself.
On a strict solar diet, the American has already lasted more than a month. In the second video posted on the network, she says that she lost 9 kg and sometimes she is overwhelmed by a feeling of hunger, but this passes quickly.
Internet users condemned Shine's actions, believing that she would soon die from lack of food. Navenna herself does not agree with this opinion - she believes that eating the sun will help her become better.
The American woman was inspired by a new direction of alternative medicine - breatharianism. People who decide to follow such a diet simply refuse any type of food. A similar trend - frutarianism - implies a transition to exclusively plant foods.
Breatharian websites talk about how people don't really need food - a stereotype imposed on them since childhood. By refusing to eat, a person will be able to reveal his potential and come closer to spiritual harmony, write supporters of the movement.
