What we eat matters a lot. I hace seen many examples around my home. One of my cousion who is fond of eating non veg food is very aggressive in nature while one of my aunt is fond of pure satvik food and she is very still and calm in her approach. Food does help us in shapingbup of our attitude and behavior. Highlighting this logic and theory, sanskrit teaches us these lines.
दीपो भक्ष्यते ध्वान्तं कज्जलं च प्रसूयते.
यादृशं भक्षयेदन्नं जायते तादृशी प्रजा'
Deepo bhakshyate dhwaantam kajjalam cha prasooyater.
Yaadrusham bhakshyedannm jaayate taadrushi prajaa.
Deep = an earthen oil lamp.
Bhakshyate = destroys, devours, eats.
Dhwaanta = darkness, without light.
Kajjalam = lampblack.
Prasooyate = produces.
Yaadrusham = like this.
Taadrush = like that.
Bhakshyedannm = Bhakshaye + annam.
Bhakshye = consume, eat.
Annam = food.
Jaayate = becomes .
Prajaa = subjects, inhabitants of a country.
A burning earthen oil lamp destroys darkness and during that process produces lampblack. Similarly the type of food consumed by the inhabitants of a country accordingly affects their attitude and behaviour.
The verses emphasizes the importance of simple and nourishing vegetarian food as compared to non-vegetarian food. Those animals and humans who are carnivorous are more aggressive and cruel in their behaviour towards others. Food significantly impacts our attitude and behavior through its influence on brain chemistry, energy levels, and the gut-brain axis, where what we eat can directly affect our mood, focus, and overall emotional state. A balanced diet with nutrient-rich foods tends to promote positive moods, while diets high in sugar and processed foods can lead to irritability and mood swings.
