Food habits
Everyone should have a strong, healthy body. This depends on healthy food. Good and nourishing food alone must be eaten. We must learn to find out the nutritive value of our food before we eat it. The food eaten should contain protein, carbohydrate, fats, minerals and vitamins. Green vegetables, Tomatoes, milk and fruits contain most of these things. But eating at irregular times is bad habit. In addition to the food one should drink plenty of water. But drinking too much of water in the middle of a meal is not good for digestion. The dining hall must be kept clean. The plates and the cups should be washed before eating. Wash your hands and feet before you take your food. When you are sitting in a group, start eating only after every item of food has been served to every one. Offer the food to God before the commencement of eating. The food has been provided by God. It is every one’s duty to remember god in sheer gratitude.
Everything in this world has come from God and everything ultimately reaches him. Talking much while eating or reading is a bad habit. Food should be eaten slowly, masticating every morsel thoroughly. If there is a sensation of sneezing while eating, one should lean one’s head to a side and sneeze, so that no particle from the mouth falls on the plate.Using handkerchief is better while sneezing. Food is God’s gift. It has formed by several persons work such as cook, farmers etc.
It should never be wasted. We should have on our plate only as much as we can take. It is always better to eat a little less than what we can. After eating food, wash the eating plate and tumbler and keep them in their proper places. The place where the food is eaten must also be properly cleaned. Our mouth should be washed thoroughly so that no particle of food remains sticking to or in between the teeth. If some friends come while you are eating, invite them also to have food. If some beggars come while eating, food should be offered to them also. Don’t close to your pets while eating. It is not hygienic. Offer proper food to pets in proper places. Our food is not set to pet’s digestion control unit. Keep in mind. Food is another form of God.
