how does people get their food in olden days
Answers
Food habits have played a major role even in the rise and fall of civilizations. Aryans would not have migrated to India in 1500 BC had their lands in Central Asia not fallen short of pastures for their cattle. The simple ‘Mediterranean’ foods that dieticians are tardily recommending us today must have played a great part in the remarkable achievements of the Greeks. Even the small habits that we have grown up hearing like, “don’t go out on an empty stomach, do not talk while eating, do not share glasses, do not chomp...are much more than good manners. In fact going back to some of these habits can magically impact our health.
Sitting on the floor while eating: In an age when there were no dining tables, everyone sat on floor while having food and very few suffered from lifestyle diseases that have become so rampant in our times. According to experts, sitting on the floor cross legged while having food as practiced in India is typically a yogic posture called Sukhasan which is said to massage the abdominal muscles, boost circulation in lower part of the body and increase flexibility. So ditching the dining table or couch while having food is not a bad idea!
