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.
