Whenever we sit and eat with the elderly at home, they tell us about many things related to eating. It is said not only about the elderly but also in our ancient myths about taking care of some things while eating food. If some things are kept in mind while eating, we can remain powerful and healthy for a long time. There is some such thing related to eating in Vishnu Purana, which is very beneficial for us to take care of..
# You should start with liquid things like soup etc. After this, accept chewable things. In the end, then take the sweet dishes.
# Before eating the food pay attention to the Goddesses. Also, pray to Annapurna Mata, say please bless me with strength and good health.
# At the beginning of the meal, at least have first five bites quitely and calmely. The food should be eclipsed by keeping it facing north or east direction.
# Never eat food in the evening. If you feel hungry in the evening then you can eat fruit.
# You should always have food while sitting. Standing or sitting on the chair should be avoided.
