In our previous article we have learnt one secret ingredient!
Hurrah!! Here the second one for you!
When to eat?
“The meal timing should follow the body clock and not the wall clock”
Many of us eat our breakfast because it is 8 o’clock in the morning and dinner because it is 9 o’clock in the night. Worse than this is that we skip our meals many a times, eat at irregular timing because we are preoccupied with a lot of other priorities. We have become so busy with the outer materialistic world that we have forgotten to listen to our body and understand it. We have forgotten to recognize the feeling of hunger and satiety. We do not eat the right kind of food when our body seeks it. We neglect our hunger. At times, we eat even after we have reached satiety. We eat even when our body is rejecting food. We treat our body like a dustbin that can be thrown anything and everything leaving it with immense load of organizing,digesting, assimilating the food and excreting the unwanted end products.
- Recognize your hunger. Recognize your satiety.
Always provide your body the necessary food that it requires when it is hungry and do not dump it with food when the satiety has been reached. Do not listen only to your tongue.
- Eat when hungry, drink when thirsty and not vice versa.
Never compensate your hunger with fluids and never console your thirst with solids. Follow your body instincts.
And now that we have understood more about our food disciplines, lets us try and discipline our food habits.
Let me reinforce the quote again;
“Food is an offering to the body where the divine soul resides. Offer it with love and respect because body is the only place we got to live”
There is one more secret ingredient remaining. Yes, we know you are eager to know about it too. We appreciate it and we are coming back with it real soon.
Thank you.
