1. Our ancestors were given to toiling long hours in their factories and farms. The manual nature of their work gave them their exercise they needed. No wonder there were no aerobic classes in their times. As for us, we have been spoilt by the invasion of computers, push button phones, fast cars and other amenities in day to day life. To make matters worse, we soak ourselves in coffee, soft drinks and junk food. As far as exercise, they don’t exist.
2. Generally, what we choose to eat reflects our attitude towards life and health. If we presume food as a means of satisfying the taste buds and the stomach; paying no attention to our holistic will being, we may find ourselves having an unhealthy food habit.
3. The properties and actions of every food material available on this planet can be attributed to either, “Sattva”, “Rajas” or “Tamas”, known as the Trigunas. If we follow the principle of Trigunas, the food we choose to eat will be light and less spicy, which is more “static” in nature. In a healthy state of the body and mind, “sattvic” food appears more appealing. A “satvic” food brings about a feeling of lightness and alertness.
