Tips for Eating Healthy – How, When and What to Eat

“It is the keenness and intensity of our attention which can take us from one dimension of living to another.”

—Sadhguru

I just read somewhere that 20% of American meals are consumed in a car. If 20% of the meals are eaten in cars, maybe another 20% are eaten in bars! I do not know how many people actually sit at the table and eat a meal consciously and with a certain sense of involvement with the food and the people around them. Today, I think there is enough knowledge in the world about the content of the food but people are yet to make the necessary changes. The content of food definitely has a big impact but how you consume it is equally important. There is a whole lot of talk about what to consume, but there is hardly any effort to bring awareness to people about how to consume food. Whether you eat an animal, a vegetable, or whatever else–food is essentially a piece of life. Something that was a life by itself is becoming a part of you. Eating is not just digestion, it is one life fusing into another.

When you should eat, in what posture you should sit, and how you should welcome the food into yourself are things that are completely ignored today.
