Building to serve, or seize food?

         People cannot eat the concrete buildings that were built up on cultivable lands. Building them is not a service either to the people or the nation. It is like seizing the people’s food, before they become aware of it - before they become hungry and demand it. Misuse of cultivable lands and the allied agricultural sources like water should be banned by enacting suitable laws.

First, let kids to play!

      Children are interested more in activities of learning and enjoying than in eating food items. That is why they give their first preference to activities. Then, they turn to the food items next, as they now feel the hunger. So, don’t force them to eat first; they themselves shall come towards you soon, demanding food!

Doing at least these to remain healthy!

       For our growth and getting energy, many parts of our digestive system having multitude of functional capacities are being kept ready and waiting to take in the food items provided through our mouth. Shouldn’t we do at least the duty of selecting good quality food items, making them clean and softer for easier digestion by them and check the foods' quality by tasting before swallowing? 

Those parts do not directly inform us about our taking-in of bad quality food. Instead, they intimate us indirectly by showing the discomfort or pain that develops - to alert and warn us not to take such bad food at the next instant. We must understand such communication, avoid bad quality food-intake and control ourselves in eating food items excessively to remain healthy.

Benefits from fasting!

   A transient rest to the body systems is the expected benefit out of fasting. Even if it is repeated, this benefit will have only a transient impact on the body systems. Suppose, we recognize and learn that there are more benefits out of fasting such as being or feeling well etc., after finishing it. Then, this learning itself is also the best benefit we get out of the fasting! With it, then we should restrict our intake of food items in too much numbers or quantities on other regular days too.Then this will have a great impact on our body systems, that will prevent their deterioration in their functioning due to such excessive loading.

Staying child forever - in Image!

        We cannot stay as a child forever, even if you wish to be a child. With the food we eat, we change  - grow all the way through our ageing years. Even after our growth stops in our adult age, our shape goes on changing constantly. There are some slight alterations of our bones' shape either by dissolution or by addition of minerals. So, store an image (picture/photo) of yourself each day - to see the minute changes you and your body have made with the food you eat! You can see and compare your younger age photos and the recent photos to appreciate this. You may question now yourself and exclaim, 'Who is he!' or 'Am I he!'

How food influences life expectancy?

The food we take in also influences on our life period in this world! A quarter of our life period may be lessened by our excessive in-take of food than that our body requires. So, we have to avoid craziness towards food. Our mind must give way for the assessment of the degree of  hunger rather than to our desire and food availability - that is either in plenty or scarcity. Another quarter of our life period may be lessened by the bad quality of food that is taken in, either with knowing about it or without knowing about it! Then, when one is in his middle age of life (after not being crazy and taking good food!), he should understand that as the body systems become older and older, the power of digestion also declines, and that he must adjust and align his desires and hunger with proportion to that. If he doesn't adjust so, a quarter of his remaining life may be lessened! Though we cannot extend our lifetime beyond the allotted time limit, we can achieve at least that allotted time. Isn't it? So, all these three factors in eating food must be considered at one and the same time itself, before we make any food a habitual one (- depending on our age either by changing it or altering it, or by replacing it). All these factors are interlinked and interdependent to determine our existence in this world!

Training body and food for life expectancy!

We are influenced by the food we take in. As we grow up from childhood, our body matures and it is trained well by itself to deal with all the food we eat. But there is an age limit for this training. After this limit, we, our self, should train our body, through our mind to make the food digest well and utilise it. This could be done by making better choice of food and its quantity suitable for us and our age. This training will make us touch at least the usual expected end time of our life! If otherwise, our life may end prematurely. So, train body in eating food - by better choice through mind!

Give and take policy in the environment!

From the environment around, you get food, breathe air, receive sounds and feel anything touching your skin. Do we give back these to the environment? Shouldn't we make the environment experience and enjoy what it gave us to experience and enjoy? We should give food to others - those in the environment - man, animal or plant; we should plant trees to give back the pure air to the environment; speak or sing in the environment to communicate/please its occupants; touch or handle persons, animals, plants and things gently, softly and fondly. Moreover, the environment comes into your eyes all by itself as a vision to you. What could you do for it? You should make your appearance in the environment pleasing to all while you move around in it! This pleasing should not be for the human beings alone, but for the animals, plants and also to the non-living things in it! This is because the energies you got from the environment are to be given back thus: a give and take policy! You took that from the environment; environment shall take that you give it back to it, isn't it?

Expect anything by memory/senses!

Memory of yesterday's satisfaction induces an expectation in us today too, for getting that again. Example for this is that we expect, by reflex, yesterday's tasty food today too to be served. But there is also an another type of expectation which we get only when we feel it through our senses combined with memory. Here, information from our memory is retrieved on receiving a similar stimulus from the environment as that of a previous one. This one evokes in us an expectation of arrival of something that either satisfied or terrified us before with its content, in a similar previous conditions of the environment. Examples for this are a pet fish in an aquarium tank swimming up to the water surface on mere seeing the fingers of its master, expecting a feed! And humans expecting Tsunami that occurred on a similar date in a previous year! Think also here about the special perception power of animals in identifying the oncoming Tsunami early!

Growing and moving is the aim of life!

In any living creature, including humans, nothing goes into the body except air (oxygen) and food; likewise, nothing goes out of the body except air and food (products and excretions). Each creature's body after its birth does only two changes due to these two processes of taking in and letting out - growing and/or maintaining in its size and moving on. But the living creature has to have only two things in its mind for these to happen - one is to get attracted towards its food and the other one is to have the desire to move towards it to taste it. Thus, moving for food, and taking food for growth and for movements are the ultimate basic purposes of  any creation. So, to be a living creature we have to be always eating, growing and moving. If we slow or stop these three, it means that we are going to be named as a diseased, aged or a dead person ultimately, by others. So, explore the environment, have the desire, eat properly and move out to show others you as a living person!

Have no pains - from food items!

You take fresh and quality food in quantity that satisfies you in taste and hunger. And you take a good night's sleep after the regular day to day activities. Then there should be no pain in your body on rising from the bed the next day! Is it not? Have you noticed it? So, don't fret about your such body pains; take care of the food you eat; ensure its freshness, quality, and quantity that is limited to your hunger, age, and suited to your taste. And retire to your bed with this full satisfaction! No pains!

Rest, Recreation, Food - for refreshing!

After daily work, one must assure and ensure himself/herself a sizable period of time of rest, recreation and food. If they are denied he/she might land up in problems such as tension, weakness, dullness and disharmony at workplace and house. So, relax rules and postpone unimportant matters to relax and refresh yourself for the next day's work and enjoyment!

Be careless in Care to enjoy!

As a child, first we were introduced only to the taste sensation of the fruits or any other food. But not to their worthiness in keeping our body fit and disease-free! Mom thought all about them, took care and gave the chosen fruits to taste. Likewise, certain facilities have been provided by the society to be availed by the public. But the people do not care to see how fair and why they are provided. If any one understands this ' how and why' it may lessen his/her interest in enjoying the pleasures or facilities in life. So, be careless 'in Care' - to enjoy life like a child!

Select and limit food for longer life!

Food is consumed to sustain and continue our life. In it, the taste in the foods makes us to choose the desired food our self. Moreover, this tasting sense with other senses can also check for the quality of the food. Our past experience in us helps also in selecting the healthy food. But above all these, our mind only can limit the quantity of the food we take! So, to have a longer life expectancy, one should select food with senses and experience, and consume it after checking it first with the taste sense. And limit such consuming to the requirement and satisfaction of the body with the effective control on mind.
