Food
,no edit summary
*The mahanarayanopanisad '''Mahanarayanopanisad'''(79-15) describes food (anna) as the primary requisite without which man cannot develop his anatomical body to the spiritual level. It is stated that the sun radiates heat which evaporates water. The vapour becomes clouds from which rain fallls to the earth. Man tills the earth and produces food which, when consumed, creates the energy that maintains vigour. Vigour engenders discipline, which develops the faith that gives knowledge; knowledge bestows learning, which brings composure that creates calmness esestablishes equanimity, which develops memory that induces recognition; recognition brings judgement, which leads to the realisation of the 'self'.
*The body needs food containing the right balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals salts. Water is needed to help digestion and assimilation. Food in the form of nourishment is finally assimilated in various forms throughout the body.
