As the old saying goes, "We are what we eat". It is always necessary to watch what we consume, for it is a known fact that the food we eat not only affects our physical health, but also translates into our emotions and thoughts. Instead of categorising food into the usual carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, the science of Yoga groups food according to the way they influence our mind and body. The state of our mind and body is divided into three stages– Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. Tamasic foods are the kind of foods that affect you in such a way that we end up feeling lethargic and dysfunctional. Rajasic foods tend to make you bring about hyperactivity and a sort of irritable restlessness. Sattvic foods, however, are the most balanced. They make you feel just right, in good spirits, and full of life.
