Tips on Good Eating
Eat Food That Suits Your Constitution
One should eat with due regards to one's constitution. It is important to have your meal include all six rasas (tastes: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, astringent) in proportionate quantity to keep Vata(wind), Pitta(body fire) and Kapha(phlegm) in a balanced state.
- One should start one's meals with sweet food, in order to stimulate Vata and Pitta.
- The sour and salty tastes should be taken in the middle of the meal.
- Then the bitter, pungent and astringent tastes should be taken to win over the kapha dosha.
What is the Right Time to Eat
The proper time to eat food is when the last meal is well digested. Diet should be changed according to the season.
Food Should Be Wholesome and Proper
We should eat keeping in mind the benefits rather than what food pleases us.
How Much to Eat
Quantity of food depends on the individual's digestive power.
What Kind of Food to Eat
The unctuous meal activates the inner gastric fire (jatharagni).
Always Eat Warm Meal
Warm meals excite the jatharagni and get digested promptly.
Congenial Environment for Consuming Food
A meal eaten in a congenial environment makes one feel relaxed.
Eat Neither Too Slowly Nor Too Fast
The time taken to eat a meal should not be too long.
Eat Your Meal With Full Concentration
Eat without talking, laughing or allowing your mind to be preoccupied with other activities.
