99% people eat wrongly, that’s why they are getting sick, if you want to live for 100 years then eat as per Sadhguru’s advice.

eat mindfully with gratitude

Sadhguru told that (ref) Eating should not be just a routine. Pay attention every day to how much food your body needs. Just as animals eat according to their needs, similarly we should also understand our body. If you always eat food at the fixed time, even if you are not hungry, then it is not good for the body. Eat food with attention and awareness. Eat food not just for taste, but understanding its nutrition and its importance in life. Show gratitude towards food because it is becoming a part of your life. Food shows that all of creation is one and we are all connected. This feeling gives us the real pleasure of eating.

eat sitting cross-legged on the ground

According to yogic tradition, one should sit with legs crossed on the floor while eating. It helps in absorbing energy properly. If you eat with your legs spread or open, it can bring wrong energy into the body. While eating, keep the upper part of the body (above the heart) open to energy.

always eat with hands

Eating with your hands allows you to feel the food and makes the experience more bonding. It’s easier to ensure the cleanliness of your hands than that of a spoon or fork. By placing your hands on food, you can feel its quality and its suitability for your body. Eating with hands creates a direct connection between food and body.

chew food 24 times

According to yoga, one morsel should be chewed 24 times. Due to this, food starts getting digested properly in the mouth. It gives information about food to your body and every cell can decide whether that food is right for the body or not. This habit will make you healthy and active.

don’t talk while eating

Talking while eating can be harmful to health. Talking while eating can cause food to get stuck in the throat. When you eat, food is meant to go in your mouth, and when you talk, sound comes out. It is not right to do both together. Eat food with complete peace and joy.
