Gandhiji’s message “Eat simple food”

Gandhiji’s message “Eat simple food”

 

According to Gandhiji, "when food submerses the body, and through the body the soul, its relish disappears, and then alone does it begin to function in the way nature intended it to."

Gandhi never had a problem with being overweight. He followed a strict vegetarian diet and frequently cooked his own simple food, which was locally produced.

He ate this simple food from a small bowl, a reminder to eat moderately, and at the same time he ate mindfully, often accompanied by prayers.

We should eat to live and work, Gandhiji felt earnestly. He propagated that we should consider food as energy, even a medicine that is required to keep our body healthy and fit for work.

So eat simply and moderately. 

Happy Gandhi Jayanti
