A 78-year-old woman has some very strange habits. For the past 60 years, she has eaten 4 pounds of sand and plaster every day. He likes to gnaw on the walls of his house.
The woman said: “I have been eating sand and gravel for around 63 years now, I love eating them and I don’t think they have any harmful effects.”
The old woman says that due to her “diet” she does not suffer from any ailments and has never gone to the doctor in her life.
“I haven’t suffered any problems in my stomach and mouth and my teeth are absolutely fine- if anything it’s made them tougher. I can bite into the hardest stone without a problem.”
Her grandchildren and relatives beg her not to eat sand anymore because they fear for her life, but she does not want to give up this strange habit.
“My grandchildren insist I get medical help to get rid of this addiction but I see no need for it. I am healthy and fit all thanks to sand which is or rather was the secret to my well-being.
I haven’t seen a doctor. For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt perfectly fine. I feel as though the minerals in the sand give me the energy to work in the crop fields.” the woman said.
What do you think of this strange habit? Have you ever seen anything like it?
