Answer 2

Answer:

The food individuals eat influences their thought processes and nature and vice versa. The Chhāndogya Upaniṣhad also emphasises on satvik foods since eating such foods purifies the mind and becomes part of our pure consciousness. “āhāra śhuddhau sattva śhuddhiḥ” (7.26.2) People with pure mind prefer pure sattvik food.
