==Importance of food==
Food is most essential for sustenance of life (vrittikara). [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 25/40] The body is constituted and nourished by food. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 28/41] The origin of life and diseases is food. Wholesome and unwholesome food articles are responsible for happiness and sorrow respectively. Food decides whether the body can or cannot sustain the diseases of body and mind. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]]
