How long can you go without having food or drinking water? Most of us would say a few hours or a maximum of a day! But not if you are Muluwork Ambaw, who claims she has not eaten or drunk anything in years. The 26-year-old Ethiopian woman has asserted that she has lived without food and water for the past 16 years.
And this is not because she is on a hunger strike or anything, but she?just?doesn't feel the urge. According to Ambaw, the last meal she had was lentil stew when she was a 10-year-old girl. Since then, she claims she?simply?hasn¡¯t had an appetite. While she claims not to have eaten anything in 16 years, Ambaw, a mother of one, has been cooking food for her family.
Ambaw's peculiar condition hasn't gone unnoticed, and over the years, she has?been examined?by doctors in India, Qatar, and Dubai. But no one has?so far?been able to find anything wrong with her body, and they have all agreed that she is perfectly healthy.
Recently, Drew Binsky, a Guinness World Record holder and UK-based YouTuber, visited Ambaw to learn more about her. ¡°I used to live with my family, and they asked me to eat breakfast and go to school. I said I had eaten?but?I was pretending. I had lost my appetite for water or?for?any food,¡± she told Binsky.
While Ambaw was healthy without food, things got?a bit?complicated when she became pregnant.?She?was given?glucose infusions to replenish the body¡¯s natural energy.?
She also couldn¡¯t breastfeed because she wasn¡¯t producing milk, explaining, ¡°And when I gave birth, she fed on artificial milk,¡± she said.
