"Eating is not only nourishing for the body, but also for the mind."
In this Hindi monologue, functional‑medicine expert Dr. Preeti Nanda Sibal advocates a practice she calls “food meditation,” which blends traditional Indian pre‑meal rituals with modern mindful‑eating techniques. She recalls how elders would join hands, close their eyes, pray, and sprinkle water around the plate before eating, explaining that these actions align the body’s channels and chakras, preparing the digestive system. She then describes the core of food meditation: using all senses while eating, chewing each bite about 32 times until it becomes a liquid‑like consistency, sipping water slowly, and treating liquids as a separate, mindful act. By fully engaging the senses, she claims the body can better digest, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate toxins, leading to stronger immunity—especially crucial during the COVID‑19 “nineteen‑nineteen” pandemic. She emphasizes that proper hydration (the body is ~65 % water) and correct nutrient absorption are essential for energy, vitality, and protecting oneself and one’s family from illness. The talk concludes with a call to adopt these practices to boost immunity, feel full of energy, and stay healthy during the pandemic.
