Your moods as well as the clarity of your thinking are dependent on the food you consume. This is why ancient sages ate only light foods. They knew that anything more would disturb the perfectly peaceful minds they had worked so hard to cultivate and disrupt their meditations on the true meaning of life.
It’s like, if you had a formula 1 race car, you wouldn’t think of fuelling it with anything less than premium grade gas. Anything else would reduce its performance. So, why would you put anything less than the best foods into your body, which is an even more valuable performance vehicle? Eating the wrong foods, in large quantities, will reduce your energy level, affect your health and more importantly prevent your mind from serving you to its fullest capacity. Realizing that for every greasy lunch you have you will suffer a corresponding reduction in your level of motivation and effectiveness is the first step to developing more disciplined eating habits.
One of the best strategies I can share with you to boost your energy level and your mood is to get into the daily habit of drinking fresh fruit juice. The juices you can make taste great and I cannot begin to describe how wonderful you will feel once you start drinking a glass of strawberry – apple or orange juice every morning before you leave your place.
