Our wellness is associated with happiness. When we are happy, we feel good in our mind and body. Everyone wants a ‘Blissful’ life—a life that provides perfect happiness or great joy. Eating is one of the few activities we all do every day for our entire life. A good food is really and truly the most effective medicine. Same thing Ayurveda also says---when diet is wrong medicine of no use and when diet is correct medicine is of no need.
All in all, our happiness is many a time a matter of our digestion which depends on what we eat. Our food habits say a lot about us. Our emotional, spiritual and physical well-being depends on what we eat. Whatever the food we intake directly affects our body. We must remember, exercise doesn't make the body, food makes the body. Exercise only shapes the body.
As the Spanish proverb says, “The belly rules the mind”. Therefore, everyone should prefer ‘good’ and ‘
Blissful meal”. And it is that much simple. You don’t need a silver spoon to eat a good. After all, it is matter of choice! A ‘
blissful food’ is nourishment of the soul & body. It brings people together on many different levels.
There are many references on good food in Ayurveda and in our religious scriptures. According to Srimad Bhagwad Geeta, the food each person prefers is of three kinds; and they are-- Satvic, Rajasic and Tamasic. All about our food habit and its impact on our body and mind have been described in the Verses 8, 9 and 10 of Chapter 17 of Srimad Bhagwat Geeta.
Satvic food promotes longevity, virtue, strength, health, happiness, and joy are juicy, smooth, substantial, and nutritious. Persons in the mode of goodness like such foods. Rajasic foods are those that are very bitter, sour, salty, hot, pungent, dry, and burning; and cause pain, grief, and disease; are liked by persons in the mode of passion.
Scientific research supports the Ayurvedic understanding of the belly-brain emotional connection. Scientists in the field of the food-mood connection have carried out studies supporting the connection between physiology and emotions, such as anxiety and depression. Research show that inflammation—a typical immune response to obesity, high-sugar diets, high quantities of trans fats, and unhealthy diets—may be the pre-cursor to mood disorders such as depression.
When people clean up their diet, inflammation is reduced, and mood states improve. Feed your soul good and pure food: We all are living in modern and technological age which has made our daily life more stressful. Many of us are living in a constant state of stimulation. For many of us, meditation is only beautiful way to find stillness and quiet the mind, but many people find this quite challenging. They find it difficult to get past the racing thoughts. What a lot of people don’t realise is that the food they eat plays a vital role in ability to reach that deep meditative state. Our nervous system and brain simply will not allow us to transcend our body when certain nutrients are not present.
Therefore, we should be in constant check of what we eat as it has direct effect on our body and our mind.
So, the best way of positive living is---- Eat good, keep the body and generations healthy. Be good, keep the mind and generations healthy. Do good, keep the society and generations healthy Recently, the ‘Blissful Meal,’ an outlet for best, pure, hygienic, healthy, nutritious, fresh, vegetarian and quality food was opened at Mansarovar Complex, opposite Habibganj Station in Bhopal.
