Eat to Live!


Favorable food to your body is the medicine for health
Fitness comes to those who take food like medicine
Only eat when hungry, not when dishes are delicious
Obesity is caused by blowing-off the digestive fire
Over-eating is primary cause of imbalance of wind, bile and phlegm
Optimum food is decided by the mind not the tongue
Digest the food eaten, before going for the next meal
Delightful eating decreases the reasons for disease!
(Inspired by the couplets on ‘medicine’ in Thirukkural by Thiruvalluvar  (2nd Century BC))
==========================Quote
Beware the hobby that eats. - Benjamin Franklin 
==========================Humor
“Doctor, you told me I have a month to live and then you sent me a bill for $1,000! I can’t pay that before the end of the month!”

“Okay, then you have six months to live.”
