Noida, Dec. 26 -- In every culture, food is seen not only as physical nourishment but also as a source of mental and spiritual energy. In Indian tradition, Ayurveda and Vastu Shastra describe food as a source of "life energy" (Prana Shakti).

That is why some important rules are recommended while eating. Even today, people search the internet for terms like "Hindu food etiquette", "Vastu tips for eating food", "How to keep food pure and positive" - which shows how relevant this topic still is.

In this blog, we will understand whether there are certain rules for eating and why these rules remain helpful even today.

1. Avoid Eating in Front of Everyone

According to Indian scriptures, food should be eaten in a peaceful and quiet environment.

Eating in front of everyone or in a crowded place can disturb your mind and may affect the energy of your food.

Modern psychology also supports this - eating in a quiet setting helps in better digestion.

2. Traditional Ways to Protect Food from Negative Energy

In Indian culture, several simple but powerful methods are used to keep food pure and positive.

* Make a Water Triangle Under the Plate

This method is considered highly effective in Vastu for food purity. Creating a triangle with water under the plate forms a subtle protective energy field around the food, keeping it safe from negative vibrations.

* Sprinkle Water Around the Plate

3. Do Not Serve Three Rotis (Breads) Together

In Indian tradition, serving three rotis together is not considered appropriate. It is seen as symbolically inauspicious and represents imbalance in kitchen vastu. Therefore, serving two or four rotis is considered more auspicious and balanced.

4. When Is Food Considered Impure?

Food must always be clean and pure. If the food or plate becomes contaminated in any way, it should not be eaten.

These rules are not only based on tradition but also on hygiene and cleanliness.

People often ask: "Is food impure if a fly or hair is found?" According to traditional beliefs and modern hygiene - the answer is yes.

Conclusion

Whether you follow Ayurveda, Vastu, or modern health science - these eating rules are still useful and help create a healthier and more positive lifestyle.
