The secret of human to lead a long life, lies with in the food habit they follow. Most of us do not understand this and become an addict to the taste of the food and spoil our health. All our food has got acidic and spiciness. Based on the food variety their proportion varies.
For good health, the food must contain 80%of spicyness and 20% of acidic nature. If it is in these proportions we could attain full strength, long life and good health.
The Siththars have categorized the food into three types. They are satvika food, rajo food and thamasa food. The satvika food gives purity. The rajo food arouses the feelings. The thamasa food results in ill health. As per the records available, most of the Siththars were had lived by having the satvika food only.
