What and how should we eat?

1. So, the question stands what should we eat?

- should we eat plants or animals?

- The statement is not – eat whatever we want! But the eat what is good for us.

- When it comes to food - we are taking another life - whatever life it is - may be plant or may be animal - We are ingesting it and making it into our life

- Even cutting a plant is cruel, but if we do it consciously, we do it to a minimal extent and not randomly.

- A cow eats 10 to 12 kgs of glass per day! A goat eats 2 to 3 kgs of glass a day. So, if we consume meat, that means we are not only killing the animal, but we are also accountable for all the vegetations it has eaten throughout its lifetime. This cruelty can be minimized to a great extent if we directly consume vegetation.

But I agree – to survive we need to take life – but if we eat consciously, we can minimize the random killing of plants and animals.

2. What we eat in places where vegetation is minimum?

In places where vegetations are limited – like in the deserts or in the snow-filled mountains – for survival is it necessary to kill an animal as there is not another option! But when we already have plenty of delicious food – in the form of vegetable, fruits, nuts, and gains – then should we kill animals only for our taste buds?

3. What does food mean for body?

Practically - food is not a religion, food is not a culture, food is fuel for this machine called the body.

Don’t have to believe me, you should always experiment with food, not with your tongue but with your body.

1. Just observe - how active or agile your body feels when you have this food.

2. If it feels like it wants to go to bed - then it is not good food. If you eat something, that your body feels dull then it is not liking it.

3. If it feels that it wants to be alive and agile, that means your body is liking it.

The kind of food you eat determines how the body will function. Thus, food that creates inertia in the body would eventually make the body sick.

4. Another topic – How much should we eat?

Hunger and an empty stomach are two different things.

Hunger means our energy levels are dropping but an empty stomach is a good thing. Body and brain function at its best only when the stomach is empty. When we sleep at night with our stomach empty – our body can heal itself much faster.

We must make sure - that how much we eat and what we eat - our stomach must be empty within 2 to 2 -1/2 hours maximum.

Between one meal and the next meal, there must be minimum 8 hours gap. Once we do this half of our health problem would be gone.

Most of the urban diseases are caused by overeating and not from an empty stomach 😉
