How to eat what to eat ?

How to eat what to eat ?

“Healthy eating is a way of life, so it’s important to establish routines that are simple, realistically, and ultimately liveable.” – Horace

Have you ever realised that your food has great impact upon your emotions, most of our thought process emotions and feelings are related to what we eat and how we eat. Food is not a part of life for keeping us alive, rather it has great influence upon our actions. Here plays the 3 Gunas of our life The guans are nothing but the quality of energy in the physical body.

  • SATTVA GUNA :
    The quality with calm, joy, balanced harmony and intelligence. these people will be filled up with truth, intellectual and enriched with spiritual essence. The satva guna not only makes a person mentally strong but also keeps the entire plane of being in harmony with nature.
  • RAJA GUNA:
    The quality with energy, enthusiasm and active. These people will be more passinated with aspiration which always keeps them active or in a mobile state to attain something in their life , a kind of crave towards desire or goal.their goal will be materialistic and will be with full of greed and restlessness.
  • THAMA GUNA :
    The quality with apparition and illusion due to over thinking and physicall will be very weak and lazyness.this makes one to be very less active and attentive and be more persistence. Most of the people with Tama guna will live in their imagination and will plan big but will never think of execution.

As stated in the Bhagavad Gita:

“When one rises above the three gunas that originate in the body; one is freed from birth, old age, disease, and death; and attains enlightenment”

There cannot be pure sattva without rajas and tamas. There cannot be pure rajas without sattva and tamas. And finally, there cannot be pure tamas without sattva and rajas.

We cant have only sattva guna or raja guna or thama guna , we can never be the pure form of any one thing combination of all three helps to face the battle of our life. So make sure that we have a balanced emotion with diet and lifestyle.

यथा चित्तं तथा वाचो यथा वाचस्तथा क्रिया । चित्ते वाचि क्रियायां च साधूनामेकरूपता ॥

Transliteration:

yathā cittaṃ tathā vāco yathā vācastathā kriyā । citte vāci kriyāyāṃ ca sādhūnāmekarūpatā ॥

English Translation:

As is the mind, so is the speech; as is the speech so is the action. Of the good people there is uniformity in mind, speech and action.​ Now let me tell you about the proper food combination and how we should follow and have a healthy life free from all sort of mental and physical ailments.

Here are some Good combination of food:

  • 1. Protein and Fibre
  • 2. Fat and Fibre
  • 3. Carbohydrate and Fibre

Poor food combination:

  • 1. Fat and Protein
  • 2. Fat and Carbohydrate
  • 3. Protein and Carbohydrate

Brief upon each topic:

Fat: One of the most important and essential part of diet which is required for the absorption of Vitamin. A, D, E &K. Fats are a type of nutrient that we get from the diet. It is essential to eat some fats, though it is also harmful to eat too much.Here we need to understand about good and bad fat.

GOODBADWORST
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is known as the “good” cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
Ex: olive oil, fish , legumes, flax seeds,nuts , chia seeds , avagado ,seeds and nuts
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) can eventually build up within the walls of your blood vessels and narrow the passageways. Sometimes a clot can form and get stuck in the narrowed space, causing a heart attack or stroke. This is why LDL cholesterol is often referred to as “bad” cholesterol.

Ex: Healted oils, meat, cheese and other fat content dairt products.
Trans fat is a type of dietary fat. Of all the fats, trans fat is the worst for your health. Too much trans fat in your diet increases your risk for heart disease and other health problems.

Ex: Commercial baked goods, such as cakes, cookies and pies Shortening, Microwave popcorn, Frozen pizza, Refrigerated dough, such as biscuits and rolls, Fried foods, including french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken etc

Forest Bathing Benefits: Why Spending Time in Nature Is More Than Just a Break

When was the last time you spent time outdoors without checking your phone, counting steps or thinking about your next task? For many people, even moments of rest have become activities to complete. A morning walk becomes a fitness goal. A weekend getaway becomes a packed itinerary. Somewhere along the way, simply experiencing nature has become surprisingly unfamiliar. This is where forest bathing, a mindful practice rooted in Japanese wellness traditions, offers a different perspective. Rather than treating time outdoors as another achievement, forest bathing encourages us to slow down, observe our surroundings and reconnect with the natural environment. But what does science say about its benefits, and how can we incorporate it into everyday life? What Is Forest Bathing? Forest bathing, traditionally known as Shinrin-yoku, originated in Japan and refers to immersing oneself in the atmosphere of a forest. Despite its name, the practice does not involve swimming or bathing in water. Instead, it involves experiencing nature through your senses: noticing the movement of leaves, listening to birds, observing natural textures and becoming aware of your surroundings. Unlike hiking, where reaching a destination may be the objective, forest bathing focuses on the experience itself. The intention is not to cover a particular distance or achieve a fitness target, but to create space for quiet observation. The Science Behind Forest Bathing Benefits Nature has long been associated with relaxation, but research is increasingly examining how natural environments influence psychological well-being. 1. Supporting Stress Management Modern lifestyles often involve continuous stimulation, workplace demands and limited opportunities for mental recovery. Research suggests that forest-based activities may help reduce perceived psychological stress. A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis involving 25 studies reported improvements in stress-related outcomes following forest therapy interventions. However, differences between studies mean these findings should be interpreted cautiously.  PubMed Forest bathing can therefore be considered a complementary wellness practice rather than a treatment for stress-related medical conditions. 2. Encouraging Mental Relaxation Constantly switching between messages, meetings and responsibilities demands sustained attention. Natural environments provide opportunities to engage with surroundings without the same level of task-oriented concentration. The World Health Organization recognises that access to green spaces can support psychological relaxation, physical activity and overall well-being.  World Health Organization Activities such as mindful walking in nature may offer a practical way to introduce restorative pauses into a demanding schedule.
