Health . Prevention . What does the Guru Granth Sahib say

Eating

We should be thankful for our meals¹ and eat a simple meal when at all possible and avoid indulgence. Every morsel of food, every breath, each day of life that is destined for each individual is finite². For example, one can consume bags full of sweets and desserts over a few days or ration them and enjoy them over time. Keeping in mind that moderation is stressed in all aspects of life and especially with food^3,4.

1. With every breath and morsel of food, I will not forget Him, O Siblings of Destiny; I behold Him ever-present.
Guru Arjan Dev, Raag Sorath, 639
2. He has counted all the days and the breaths, and placed them in people's destiny; they do not increase or decrease one little bit.
Guru Arjan Dev, Raag Gauree, 254
3. Sleep little, and eat little; O Nanak, this is the essence of wisdom.
Guru Nanak Dev, Raag Raamkalee , 939
4. Eat less food and drink little water.
Bhai Gurdaas, Vaars Bhai Gurdaas, 20
