To carry out its functions, the human body requires energy. Food provides the energy needed for vital life-sustaining tasks such as breathing, digestion, heart function, cognition and to carryout day to day physical activities. Indians have always had a well-balanced and healthful diet. Food was cooked and served in exceedingly sanitary conditions in the past. Before giving food to others, it was called Prasad, and an offering to God was made. Before eating, people used to recite slokas or prayers. Food is essential for maintaining a healthy physique. The only relevant medium for spiritual practice is the physical body. As a result, food consumption was linked to spirituality and was cooked in a hygenic manner.
