Food and human character

Is there any relation between the food man eat and his character? I strongly believe’ yes’. There is a famous quote:

‘Tell me what you eat and I shall tell what you are’

There are two types of food, food which satisfy our natural appetite and that which satisfy our sensual appetite. The first is the’ good’ food and the other ‘bad’. The quantity of food one takes is also important. Yogasasthra advises to eat whenever you feel real appetite and that also in moderate quantity. Food is not for satisfying your senses; it is only for the health of the body and relieving appetite. Eat only to fill ¾ of your stomach. Once we eat, that food remains in our stomach for about four to five hours. By this time only the process of digestion completes and the undigested residue is removed to the large intestine. Still another point is that, do not eat or eat very light whenever you are sick. Man is the only animal who eats even when he is ill.

I personally believe that vegetarian food is good not only for better health, but for a calm and cool temperament. Meat eaters are mostly found hot and beastly in character. However more studies are required in this field.

It is observed that crimes, quarrels and other misdemeanours are less among Brahmin community who are generally herbivores. (I do not forget that a good percentage of the present day Brahmins are meat eaters)
