We are what we eat. The type of food we eat has both immediate

mind, and the spirit. Food which is tamsik (i.e. stale or leftover) in
nature is bound to generate stress as it tends to upset the normal

must be preferred. Excessive use of condiments should be avoided.
Taking piping hot tea / milk or steaming hot food also disturb
one's usually calm attitude. Further it is mistaken belief that smoking
and drinking, even in moderation, relieves stress. Simple meals
with one or two food items, rather than too many dishes are
advisable. Thus vegetarian diet is preferable. Although it is customary
to serve fruits with food, it is not the right thing to do. This is
because different kind of digestive secretions are produced by the
stomach for variant foods. Mixing up too many varieties of food
items at one meal creates unavoidable problems for the digestive
system.​
