Food plays a very important role in the health and overall development of a person. If the person takes in essential quantity of nutrients on a daily basis, then the person is supposed to be healthy.
A question that arises here is how is food necessary for living?
There are energy sources like sun, air, water and the earth through which a person receives energy. Even most of the plants survive with air, water, sunlight and the nutrients from the soil. So why do humans need food on a daily basis for survival?
Even if a person tries to fast by skipping any one meal per day, this affects his mood and strength and he feels tired.
So what could be the reason that man is too much dependent on food?
Well one reason could be that the body structure of a man or an animal is different from that of plants. The human body consist of organs, tissues and cells. These parts of the body requires consistent supply of nutrients and hydration for its efficient functioning.
Another reason is that majority of humans are still not trained or conditioned to live with just the basic elements of this planet like air, water, sunlight etc. Some Rishis or saints are able to achieve this to some extent by intense meditation and Holistic practices. However this is not possible for the large number of people living in this planet as they have not been taught that way.
The kind of food that is consumed in one country or state differs from the kind of food consumed in another country or state. This is purely because of getting used to something consistently which becomes a habit or a practice. This is another reason why man continues to depend on particular source of nutrient always.
Food also plays a very important role in the kind of thoughts and the performance of a person. The quality, nutrition and freshness of the food also plays an important role in the health of a person.
