It seems that the sun has given to some Hong Kong women in their heads: they are the protagonists of yet another extreme fashion for weight loss , the sun diet. According to what they said, staying hours in front of the sun, from early afternoon until sunset, would allow the body to absorb nourishment through the sun’s rays, so as to reduce hunger and consequently lose weight. The proselytes of this new method also sunbathe twice a day, once at sunrise and once at sunset.
In short, it would be a kind of breatharianism: you know, no, that extreme practice of those who do not eat, saying that they absorb energy from the air and the sun to live, the prana? Well, so far it has claimed many lives: people have passed on to better lives undernourished and dehydrated, while others have been found to be cheating.
Here, starvation reaches Hong Kong women: some swear they have said goodbye to food, others have significantly reduced food portions. In short, the sun would satisfy . But the experts shake their heads twice: the first, with the idea of ​​not being able to eat and survive anyway; the second, due to the effects of the sun’s rays from the subtropical climate, which would be harmful with prolonged exposure.
