Foods
◾️
• Sattwic foods―life-force-increasing foods, foods that is as close as possible to the sun energy, bringing energy, strength, health, joy, and cheerfulness; savory, soothing, and pleasing (within limits, Ayurveda says food must be tasty to be healthy, but flavors that overload the taste buds and senses becomes rajasic).
• Rajasic foods―bitter, sour, salty, overly hot, pungent, dry, burning; causing pain, grief, and disease
• Tamasic foods―stale, putrid, cooked overnight, unclean, lacking flavor, zest, or taste [Verse 4–10]
