All sustenance (food) has different properties.Similarly; different nourishment provokes diverging consequences in different chambers of encephalon and on our mind. The nature of food what we ingest greatly influences the being of any homosapien. Our body is a genesis through which we can accomplish all our purpose in our lives. Therefore, it is imperative to keep our body immaculate, vigorous and salubrious. There is also an intimate connection between our body and our mind. The nature and condition of the body has a vital consequence upon our perceptions and activities. Thus, vivers/food that builds the body and the mind should be authentic, wholesome, nutritious, substantial and a bit bland.

Our mind is an agglomeration of thoughts,which can be categorized into three types.Like the entire world is triadic,our thoughts are also a product of the three gunas. i.e.,Sattva,Rajas and Tamas which controls and commands our precised world.Basically there are three kinds of food that an earthling can consume.They are :

 Sattwic

Rajasic

Tamasic

"Sattva"propagates sterility, equilibrium, modesty, magnificient ethics, altruism, doting for truth and spiritual inclination. 

Sattvic food includes rice,wheat,ghee,legumes,fresh fruits and vegetables,milk and milk products (except cheese made from rennet).Rennet comes from the stomach of animals to obtain it,the animal would have to be slaughtered. 

"Rajas"develops sensuality, egoism, fluctuating ethics, vacillation between kindness and malignance and a worldly inclination.Rajasic food includes onion,garlic,dark lentils,eggs,chicken,citrus fruits,salt,chocolate etc.

"Tamas"generates immorality, indolence, disparity, procrastination, unethical etiquette, and addictions. Tamasic food includes red meat,alcohol,fried foods,stale food,tobacco etc.

According to the gunas (Sattwa, Rajas, Tamas) a man’s taste for a particular food is determined. Conversely, one can perceive the nature or temperament of any human being by the nature of food they consume.
