How Satwik, Rajasik and Tamasik Foods Will
Affect Your Body and Mind
There are three types of Food : Satwik, Rajasik, and Tamasik.
Foods that are Satvik bring clarity, peace, and calm. This increases one’s
concentration and growth spiritually.
These foods will keep you balanced and focused.
Rajasik Foods : pungent, sour, or overly salty foods like junk food or caffeinated beverages.
Rajasik foods will stimulate the mind and body, making one energetic and fidgety.
They apparently push activity and creativity but
can put a pressure called stress or agitation on the nervous system in excess.
Tamasik Foods : Stale, processed, or heavy foods like junk foods and leftovers.
Tamasik foods make a person lethargic, dull, and uninterested.
They generally cause a dull mind and body and thus relate to a lack of motivation and unclear states of mind.
What will bring a better balance in life, fuller and give better physical and mental health,
is the choice of more Satwik foods and moderation in Rajasik and Tamasik foods.
