Your Body – A Heap of Food
“What you call as ‘my body’ is just an accumulation of the food you
eat. So, what kind of food you eat should depend not on your values
and ethics or on what you think about it, but on what the body
wants. Food is about the body. If you are aware enough, if you just
touch a piece of food, you will know how this food would behave in
your system.
When it comes to food, ask the body what kind of food it is really
happy with. Try different foods and see how your body feels after
eating it. If your body feels very agile, energetic and nice, the body
is happy. If the body feels lethargic and needs to be pumped up with
caffeine or nicotine to stay awake, the body is not happy.
To eat intelligently means to understand and supply the kind of fuel
the body is designed for so that it can function at its best. The way
you eat not only decides your physical health it decides the very way
you think, feel and experience life.
Above all, the food you eat is life. Other forms of life are giving up
their life to sustain us. If you eat with enormous gratitude for all the
living things which give up their life to sustain your life, food will
behave in a very different way within you.”
