Buddha says – we are the result of what we have thought. It won’t be wrong to say, we are also the result of what we eat. When we consume anything, we make it a part of our being. What we consume has a direct effect on our inner as well as our outer self. Check out below how our eating habits describe us.

Timing of your meals

Following a fixed time for your meals shows discipline. We tend to adjust our meals as per our work schedule, but it should be vice versa. It is a best practice to keep a fixed time for your meal as per a healthy circadian rhythm. You should get enough time for the food to be digested and the body to rest.

Binge eater?

Do you, like most people, also fall for binge eating? Do you tend to grab a snack just because of boredom or whenever your emotions overflow? This habit might develop unknowingly, which surely takes a toll on your health. Food Journaling is one of the under-estimated methods to keep a check on your food habits, and if practiced well, it can also help you lose extra weight.

Mindful eating

Do you give a thought to what you are consuming? Are you able to consciously curb unhealthy food items from your diet? Do you value your body enough to maintain healthy eating and drinking habits? If yes, you are on the right path to mindful eating and understanding the ill impact of unhealthy food consumption. Minimize any distractions while eating and try to eat in silence.

Is food your only source of happiness?

There comes a point when food becomes the only source of happiness. We cease to find happiness in our jobs, careers, relationships, or overall state of life and end up developing unhealthy eating or drinking habits, unknowingly. Never stop learning new things and keep exploring different tiny-big aspects of life so that you truly feel like living a fulfilling life and not just rely on things that provide instant gratification.

What you eat matters

Have a well-balanced diet containing a proper proportion of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, fiber, and water. The ancient Ayurveda has also recommended a diet specific to the different body types/doshas.

We all know the feeling after having a heavy spicy meal and also how it feels after having a light nourishing meal. Consciously we do know what’s right for our body. Make the most of your body and energy by keeping track of what and how you eat.

Good health is the real wealth.
