Introduction
Food is a vital instrument for providing Energy, curing illness, and preserving health. A fine diet helps prevent chronic illnesses and increase immunity, making it a natural medicine. Nutrient-dense foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support and prolong biological processes. Understanding that food has the power to heal can change our view of health.
Conscious eating is medicine for the body
According to Siddha, food is medicine and, when it comes to nutrition, food is medicine. In case if we are very conscious about what we are eating then that becomes the medicine by itself. One situation without considering that if we keep on eating foods that we like then after some days, the number of tablets that need to be consumed will increase. Whatever we are eating we are conscious. In Siddha medicine, there is a saying like “Our anatomy has 32 doctors” and each tooth is a doctor. If we eat like food will touch every tooth then the digestive essence(saliva) will mix in your food so very well and therefore no disease will come from that food.
Awareness of eating is notable
Tasting needs to be done all the way to the end of the digestive tract; it is not enough to just detect flavor in the mouth. When food goes to the digestive system our taste gets changed, we don’t chew properly and we eat food fast. Be a result, what happens is not ideal, and these are all referred to be conscious experiences.
The vital role that food plays in preserving life and good health is referred to as the importance of food.
Conclusion
We give ourselves the power to make informed dietary choices that enhance health by viewing food as medicine. A nutritious diet that is well-balanced can help prevent disease, aid in healing, and ultimately improve quality of life.
