Om Swami
Ayurveda states that one should consume foods according to one's constitution. When we do that, our nature starts to synchronize with nature, and the foods we eat lead to better health and harmony.
Each food has a certain quality that affects our well-being. Just like we have physical and mental humours, food too has something similar. Every natural food has a living energy in it. This is the mystical aspect of our food.
It is why the fermentation of grapes and the fermentation of wheat are not the same. Even if two foods have identical tastes throughout the four stages of digestion, it doesn't mean that they'll have the same effect on your mind.
In the short term, they may appear to have the same effect on your body. But ultimately, it's their effect on your mind that will determine the outcome for your body. Foods invigorate or aggravate your genetic disposition.
The food you eat and the manner in which you eat it makes a great difference to your physical and mental health. No, I'm not asking you to become a vegetarian, I'm simply giving you a new perspective on food.
