Practices akin to 'breatharianism' have been extolled in some religious traditions.
In Christianity, fasting is a discipline that was practiced regularly by the early church and by some adherants today. The purpose of fasting (denying) the wants of the flesh for a period of time is to gain a deeper relationship (communion) with God. It is also required when praying throught certian situations for a specific outcome.

Breatharianism
What eternal value does it have with God? It is not fasting.
Didn't Jesus say in Matthew 16:26 of the KJV
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
If living on light and air leads to death, what Godly value is there to it?
Does breatharianism include not drinking water?
