Mind, Body and Food
The title has a similarity with a familiar and popular phrase 'mind, body and soul'. This concept refers to a higher mentality. The title of this article has also a implication and foundation of the phrase 'mind, body and soul'.
Health is wealth. We cannot live happily without healthy body. Our health should be free of disease. Any pain and suffering makes our life miserable. Therefore fit body makes us happy.
But how do a person gain healthy body? To gain a good health we need to have nutritious food with appropriate quantity and to exerxise regularly. You have to be conscious to have a good physical condition.
Healthy body makes healthy mind. Weak and unfit body is incapable of spirit and vigour. Our mental health is responsible for our attitide towards the enjoyment of life. Tension-free cheerful mind vigorates our spirit to enjoy and to be smiling and light minded. Positive thinking and postive attitude can sublimate the condition of our mind in this regard. Mental health is therefore important for all of us.
Our body is formed with the element that comes from food. Nutritious food is good for health. Foods are divided into three types according to science. These are carbohydrate, protein and fat. Carbohydrate provides energy. Protein makes up the decay of our body. And fat gives more energy than carbohydrate. Nutrious food having vitamins and minerals not only makes us fit and strong but also improves immunity, brain fuctions- remembering, memorising, analysing and insightful prudence; strength and vigour.
Indian sages believe that various types of food truct the characteristic nature of mind. Actually this principle is based upon nowadays psycho-somatic relation. According to Indian saints foods are of three type - sattas, rajas and tamas. The food which has the value and functuonality of constructing true and honest nature of mind is called sattas type. The food which has the value and fuctionality of constructing spiritful and energetic nature of mind is called rajas type. And the food which makes the nature of laziness and dishonesty is called tamas type.
Fresh fruits , food and easily digestive nutritious food etc belong to sattas category. Fish, meat and protien food belong to rajas category. And extra salty, acidic, chilly and spicy food etc belong to tamas category.
These types make the human personality accoring to thei types. Human being with Tamas type are prone to laziness, negativity and destructive attitude. They cannot improve their lives. Human being with Rajas are active, spiritful and energetic. They work hard and improve in life. Human being with Sattas type are calm, honest, devoted and prudent. They shine in life and gain fame.
Your practical observation will prove this at a moment. Just observe a drunkard fellow, an established man and an ideal or famous man. Just try to know their food habbit and attitude. Their preferrences of food and attitude and conversation will prove this.
Now a question arises. Why don't we get the result instantly after having fresh fruit and nutritious food? Creativity is subtle and destructuvity is crude. That's why after having much alocohol we see the effect instantly and nutritious food eaters gain their physical and mental development after a comparatively long time.
Food habit is an important factor of Sadahana i.e. religious practice of Indian saints. Now don't you ask me why the Indian sages are vegetarian?
