How long can a person starve without dying? This was what American medics tried to understand, who observed Ellen Jones, who weighed 143 kilograms, for 119 days.
During her fast, she drank three liters of water a day. She also received a large dose of vitamins twice a week. The patient's weight was reduced to 81 kilograms during the fasting period and she felt wonderful.
Studies conducted by the American physiologist E. Adolf prove that the maximum survival of a person without water largely depends on air temperature and the mode of physical activity.
For example, when it is at rest and in the shade, at a temperature of 16-23 degrees, a person can survive without water for ten days. At an air temperature of 26 degrees this period decreases by one day, and at 33 degrees - by four days.
At an air temperature of 39 degrees, a person dies after not drinking water for two days. Without water one can survive, but how long could one survive without air?
If you've tried to hold your breath, you probably know that you can't stay for more than two or three minutes without getting a new dose of oxygen. Some American pilots have been observed to hold their breath for up to ten or even fifteen minutes.
One of the strongest people to ever live was the Russian Ivan Zaikin, who died in 1949. He was known for lifting ten people onto a huge bar in a circus and lifting it.
Another Russian, known in the early twentieth century - Alexander Sass, raised horses and with his teeth managed to lift iron, on both sides of which sat a young man. For fun, he usually broke horseshoes with his fingers.
American researchers decided to explore the potential for increasing human strength. It turned out that the strength of the biceps muscle of the right arm when bending increases under the influence of a moderate dose of alcohol by 1.8 kilograms.
When adrenaline is injected into the blood, it increases by 2.3 kg, and after amphetamine - by 4.7 kg. With the help of hypnosis she can gain up to 9.1 pounds.
