In 20 19, the Indian media revealed that there was a man in India who could break the limits of mankind. It is said that he can survive for 70 years without eating, drinking or excreting. His story quickly became popular on the internet, which also triggered discussions among many experts in the medical field. Some people think that he is fake, and this sentence has attracted everyone's attention as a gimmick. So relevant departments and experts invited it to enter the observation room for observation and research, so as to promote greater progress of mankind.
A camera is installed in the observation room for 24-hour inspection, and doctors and nurses will check their physical condition every two hours. Within one week of the experiment, the old man did not touch water or eat rice grains, because there was nothing to ingest and there was no need to excrete. However, he has no obvious abnormalities, and he will not have symptoms of general weakness, headache and nausea after hunger like ordinary people. After machine testing, there was no food residue in his stomach, and there was no muscle atrophy, severe dehydration, weight loss, fatigue and organ failure in his body, which shocked a group of experts and doctors.
It is said that he hasn't eaten or drunk water since 13 years old. Although the old man lives like this, he is very healthy. In fact, these people who don't eat or drink are called light eaters. They also call themselves self-reliant. The local people think that he can live by spiritual strength and must be protected by the gods. You can live for a long time without eating or drinking. There is no better medical explanation at present, and you are not sure how many people have been deprived of food and water for many years. But there is no doubt that this lifestyle has become the life choice of some people. The limits of human beings are really unpredictable. Maybe one day, human beings will live forever without eating or drinking.
In nature, human beings are a' wonderful flower', but in the animal kingdom, it can be said that there are all kinds of wonders. Because of the topic that "Indian men live to be 70 years old without eating or drinking", Deep Space Bian Xiao wants to talk to his friends today: Who can live the longest without eating or drinking among many animals? I believe that when you see this problem, many determined animals will pop up in your mind, such as cockroaches, turtles and so on. In fact, they are really not the most powerful beings.
As we all know, generally speaking, an organism needs to consume energy. Take human beings for example, even if they lie motionless in bed, they will consume energy every day. Some people call this basal metabolic rate, which means that the body of warm-blooded animals is in a state of undigested and strenuous exercise, and the energy needed to maintain life is the lowest. These energies are mainly used to maintain body temperature and maintain the functions of various organs. To put it bluntly, even if you don't move every day, you will be hungry.
But this, in fact, also has a premise, that is, "warm-blooded animals", that is, animals whose body temperature is maintained to a certain extent, people's body temperature needs to be maintained between 36 degrees and 37 degrees. No matter whether the body temperature is low or high, there will be problems in the function of the human body. An animal that doesn't eat or drink for a long time is unlikely to be a "warm-blooded animal" because it has to fight the temperature difference outside. Corresponding to warm-blooded animals are warm-blooded animals. Others would like to call it a cold-blooded animal. Because there is no system to regulate the temperature in warm animals, their body temperature will change due to external changes. Common temperature-changing animals are snakes, crocodiles, turtles and so on. Because it can adapt to the temperature of the environment, when a warm animal's body temperature is very low, its metabolism will be very low, that is to say, the energy consumed will be very low.
Scientists have found that under the same weight, a warm-blooded animal only needs110 ~1/3 of the energy required by a warm-blooded animal to survive. This means they need less food than warm-blooded animals. You can live longer without eating or drinking. When it comes to warm animals, many people actually think of hibernation. In fact, hibernation is not unique to warm-blooded animals, and some warm-blooded animals can do it. Hibernation can last about 7 months. Through the above analysis, we can aim at the animals with variable temperature.
Cockroaches are easy to think of. Cockroaches are also called cockroaches. They are so tenacious that they can live for several days even if their heads are cut off. How long can cockroaches live without eating or drinking?
In fact, many people have done similar experiments. According to the data I have seen so far, generally speaking, cockroaches can live for about a month. Of course, there are differences in this body, and the highest is 90 days. Obviously, this length is not as long as hibernation, so the answer is definitely not cockroaches.
Because there are so many kinds of turtles, it is difficult for us to give an accurate figure. However, what we know now is that the longest time a turtle can persist without eating or drinking is when it hibernates, that is, about half a year. There is still a considerable gap between this and the animals we will talk about next.
In an aquarium, there was a king who had a foot bug. He went on a hunger strike and died after five years and 43 days without eating or drinking. As for why it fasted, scientists have not yet figured it out. You may think that five years is long enough. In fact, this is not the longest animal we can see with the naked eye. There is a kind of olm that looks a bit like a snake. Scientists found that Heaulme lived for seven years without eating or drinking.
In fact, there are many creatures that can exist for more than seven years, and in the animal circle, there is a creature that we can't see with the naked eye called the water bear worm. How fierce? Water bear worms can live in space and probably have lived on the moon, which is simply challenging the limits of biology. Water bear worms can often be seen in the worst places on earth. How long can a water bear live without eating or drinking? Scientists have found that the water bear worm can be in a "dormant state", in which it will stop all metabolism. In this state, it can live for at least 30 years. Not only that, some scientists have also discovered water bear worms that have lived in "invisibility" for 120 years. So it is no exaggeration to say that the water bear worm is the most tenacious animal on earth.
