Diet is said to be basic of life, strength, complexion, Ojas, growth and development, perspicuity of Indriyas, happiness, clarity of voice, lustre, pleasure, increase of Dhatus, Intellect, health etc. According to Chhandogya Upanishad, the food inside is divived into three parts Sthoola, Madhyama and Anu bhaga which nourish Purisha, Mamsa and Mana respectively which means the subtle and abstract part of the Anna is Mana “ Annamayam hi Soumya Manah” is a popular quote from Chandogyopanishad which means the mind is the essence of food we take. Just as when curd is churned up, the butter which is the finest part gather up, the finest part of food rises up and nourishes Manas.
