Are we eating right? Because we become what we eat. The food we eat nourishes our body, but there is much more than nourishment. Our Vedic scriptures distinguish food into three categories based on its effect on our body on the physical and mental level. Understanding the food ImageImage
we intake is necessary to ensure it benefits our body. Food in Sanatan Dharma is not just “any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or that plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth”.
According to the Vedic scriptures, food is beyond
what is eaten through the mouth and digested by the body. In Sanatan Dharma, food is understood to affect one’s thoughts, emotions, and mind, and food can lead to God-realization. Food is distributed into three categories in Vedic Culture: Sattvic, Rajas, & Tamasic.
