Quote:

According to Hinduism, food is divided Into three categories - Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic.

Tamasic is the worst food of all.The food that is left over and contaminated is usually called Tamasic food. These foods are supposed to produce jealousy and greed among men.

Rajasic foods : Food that consists of meat of animals is called Rajasic food.Rajasic food also contains spices, onions, garlic, hot-pepper, pickles etc. Rajasic foods are supposed to produce activity and strong emotional qualities among men.

Sattvic foods : Sattvic foods are those foods which do not agitate your stomach at all.Much of the Sattvic food consists of fruits and nuts, and vegetables.These foods are supposed to produce calmness and nobility among men.

Hindu diet codes strictly prohibit the consumption of beef and pork.

As per those codes, eating fruits and vegetables increases one's magneticism.From what we can understand today about diets. we are sure that ancient Hindu saints had a very good idea about food in general and their effect on the body and thinking pattern of man.Expression of the soul is dependent on the body, and the body is dependant on food.So for proper spiritual development, a proper diet is a must for everyone.
