What ever we think about of nutrition is not just only a question of the food we put in the mouth at meals time. Apart from nutrients, foods are made up of fragrances, colors and unseen substances that capture pure light, light that is so fundamental for our joyful life and well-being. Therefore the choice that we make is always of consequential significance.
All plants food such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables naturally grow and flourish in sunlight, and you could assume they are actually their own form of light. So,If you want to enlarge the qualities of the heart, we must eat not only peacefully, but consciously.
That is the reason why it seems sensible to consume food that is nourished by sunlight. As a result, our emotions and our essence are illuminated and nourished as well.
Everybody may have heard about this saying that our body is a temple and everything that enters that temple has a direct result in who we become.

If you interested to learn more about how food can change the aspects of your life here some recommended books for you :
Food is our most intimate and telling connection both with the living natural order and with our living cultural heritage. By eating the plants and animals of our earth, we literally incorporate them. It is also through this act of eating that we partake of our culture’s values and paradigms at the most primal levels. It is becoming increasingly obvious, however, that the choices we make about our food are leading to environmental degradation, enormous human health problems, and unimaginable cruelty toward our fellow creatures.
In Being Vegan, renowned activist and award-winning on-line columnist Joanne Stepaniak presents the definitive Q&A primer on an often misunderstood life choice. Fielding questions from friends and foes, she describes how compassion, kindness, and mercy to animals can be integrated into everyday life. It covers living the vegan philosophy and ethic, discovering hidden animal products and ingredients, and more.
Beyond what we already know about "food miles" and eating locally, the
global food system is a major contributor to climate change, producing as much
as one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. How we farm, what we eat, and how our
food gets to the table all have an impact. And our government and the food
industry are willfully ignoring the issue rather than addressing it.
In Anna Lappé's controversial new book, she predicts that unless we
radically shift the trends of what food we're eating and how we're producing it,
food system-related greenhouse gas emissions will go up and up and up. She
exposes the interests that will resist the change, and the spin food companies
will generate to avoid system-wide reform. And she offers a vision of a future
in which our food system does more good than harm, with six principles for a
climate friendly diet as well as visits to farmers who are demonstrating the
potential of sustainable farming.
In this measured and intelligent call to action, Lappé helps readers
understand that food can be a powerful starting point for solutions to global
environmental problems.
Drawing on both the author's extensive studies of Vedic traditions and her longtime interest in animal rights, Yoga and Vegetarianism shows how the physical and spiritual practice of yoga is historically and structurally tied to a vegetarian lifestyle. When they are used in tandem, she argues, they form a strong framework for physical and spiritual attunement and promote an overall healthy life. Yoga and Vegetarianism emphasizes the importance of understanding of Ahimsa, the practice of non-harming and nonviolence, as the first step in marrying yoga and vegetarianism. All actions, says Gannon, originate as thoughts, so the "perfection of action" that yoga strives for must come from a perfect thought. What is a perfect thought? According to the book, it is a thought free of selfish desire, anger, and hate. This brings us back to Ahimsa and to vegetarianism. Freeing oneself of needless cruelty, harm, and injustice — which includes eating meat — can transform both the individual and the world. This book shows how.
Vegan's Daily Companion is one of those books that inspires you to be a better person with each page you read. An unfettered, unabashed daily affirmation of the joy of being vegan. An invitation and a promise, a process and a guide for creating a compassionate world.
