Benefits of Different Food to Humans - Sanskrit Teaching

Our body needs different kind of food to meet different requirement. While we learn about the various foods and the nutrient composition each of them provides to our body. It is also important for us to remain happy and avoid sadness and unnecessary tension for a healthy living.

Today I comes up with similar kind of Sanskrit teaching, that tells us the effect of grief and consumption of various food items on the human body.

शोकेन रोगाः वर्धन्ते पयसा वर्धते तनुः|

घृतेन वर्धते वीर्यं मांसान्मांसं प्रवर्धते||

Shokena rogaah vardhante payasaa vardhate tanuh.
Ghrutena vardhate veeryam maamsaanmaamsm pravardhate.

Shokena = by grief.
Rogaah = diseases.
Vardhante = grow.
Payasaa = by consuming milk.
Tanuh = body.
Ghrutena = by consuming Ghee (cream). Veeryam = energy, virility.
Maamsaan + maamsam .
Maamsaan = by consuming meat.
Maamsam = flesh.
Pravardhate = pra + vardhate
Pra = a prefix to a word denoting more or best
Pravardhate = increase in body mass and muscles.

The lines wants us convey that, "A grieving person is afflicted by many diseases. By consuming milk the human body grows uniformly and by consuming ghee the
virility and the strength of a person increases. By consuming meat the body mass and muscles of a person grow faster."

This one is quite simple yet gives us a deep meaning and understanding of our daily life.

Learning is Passion!
