You are what you eat!

Food is considered as the ‘God’ in our Indian culture. According to the great Ayurveda, you are what you eat. Food you eat has the greatest impact on your personality. It is said that food is the factor that not only nourishes our body but also develops our soul. It is a myth that we eat food by mouth. 

 Eating food is the process which starts from the smell you experience when you enter your home and your mom is cooking. That smell gives you clear idea about what is being cooked. Then in this process, your eyes are also involved. 

  When you see the food, you get an idea that which ingredients are used to make that delicious dish. Here you can be surprised that how can I say the dish is delicious without even eating? But let me tell you one thing that the smell you experienced is the proof that the dish is delicious.

When you touch that food, you understand it’s texture, and you already start imagining it’s taste. And when you actually eat that food, your tongue gives you an idea of the taste of that food. We Indians believe that, the God lies in our body as a soul. So, to offer the divine yadnya to your God, that should be sacred. So, you should take care of what and how you eat. You should involve each and every taste in your daily meal as they provide ‘Raj’, ‘Tama’, and ‘Satva’ gunas to your body and your soul.

To have a healthy appetite, you should keep following things in mind:

•     Involve food in diet that nourishes your body with vitamins, minerals and iron.
•     Eat not only with mouth and hand but eat with your mind.
•   Feel the divine power of the food you eat!
