Both body and mind require food. Hence, food may be either carbonic or non-carbonic. In both cases, appropriate food should be consumed. | |||
The three categories of food are: | |||
* ''Sáttvika'' – Sentient (good for both body and mind) | |||
* ''Rájasika'' – Mutative (good for either the body or mind and neutral for the other) | |||
* ''Támasika'' – Static (bad for either the body or mind) | |||
The rule is to eat in moderation, preferring ''sáttvika'' food and avoiding ''támasika'' food. It should also be kept in mind that there may be some variations from person to person and climate to climate. | |||
This practice strengthens both body and mind. It also enables the second stage of [[neohumanism]], spirituality as a principle. | |||
