YOU ARE… WHAT YOU EAT…

“You Are what you Eat”, what does that mean?

If I eat rajma, will I turn into a bean?

If I eat carrots and potatoes, will I become a root?

Will eating apples and bananas turn me into a fruit?

If that were so, then the entire human race would be extinct,

Since we are still here there must be a reason succinct.

The wisdom of this statement that has been wonderfully cloaked in stealth,

Is that the foods one eats have a bearing on one's state of mind and health.

And so gleaning from this wise saying, we learn about the link,

That our well being is directly proportional to what we eat & drink.

It is not only what we consume but also how and in what quantity,

While consuming what we like, must do so in temperance and quality,

While exercise, rest & mindfulness do help create a healthy lifestyle,

Our diet plays an important and major role, in our life's profile.

So let's choose wisely, eating and drinking our favourite foods in moderation,

With the awareness of keeping our vigour and strength in mindful consideration.
