 Ikigai And Diet

Ikigai means finding, purpose, mindfulness, wholesomeness and joy in life and everything we are doing including our food and eating habits. So if we associate Ikigai with diet it means nourish the body(purpose of food),nutrient rich food(wholesomeness),mindful eating (mindfulness)and embrace the taste, season, social and happy aspects of meals (joy). So Ikigai with diet provides us better physical health, beauty, greater sense of purpose, fulfillment and overall well-being. 






Purpose of Food: Ultimate purpose of food is to give us energy, health, taste  and beauty. Our regular diet should serve  us happiness and health and it should help us in staying focused and active. Ultimately, “we are what we eat. ”As per ikigai, throughout the day we must eat 15-20 food items in moderation ,adequate quantity and  on  proper timing supported with an active lifestyle. It will help us in getting good calories and healthy weight management.


Wholesomeness: Wholesomeness in diet comes with choosing food from all food groups in adequate quantity. In other words choosing right food in right quantity. Wholesomeness in food can be achieved easily by choosing from all food groups in the right quantity, choosing different colors, seasonal food and that too fresh. 


Mindful Eating: Mindful eating involves paying attention to the eating experience and being fully present during meals. This includes taking time to savor the flavors, textures, and aromas of food, eating in a relaxed environment, and listening to hunger and fullness cues. By practicing mindful eating, individuals can develop healthier relationships with food as well as his body and enhance their overall enjoyment of meals.


Joyful Eating: Eating should not be a strict prescription but rather a flexible framework that can be easily adapted as per  individual needs and cultural preferences. Eat guilt free as per season and during festivals. Sometimes reward yourself by indulging yourself in your favorite food. Eat like you love yourself and your food. Find joy, happiness as well as health in your food.

By Sarita Sharda
  एक दिन मेरे बेटे ने कहा, मांं आप समझ ना पाओगे।           आप 20वीं सदी में पले बढ़े, हमारी सदी 21वीं है।     बरसों बाद सुनकर 20वीं सदी,याद आई मुझे अपने बचपन की ।           बचपन के वे चहकते दिन, कितने सुहाने लगते थे ।      घुमा कर जादू की छड़ी, काश!! कोई लौटा दे मेरे बीते हुए दिन। लो मां, टाइम मशीन बनाता हूं, और तुम को वहां ले जाता हूं।  पर, मां क्या करोगी?, अगर मिल जाए बीते हुए दिन।     सपना यह सच हो जाए, तो तुम्हें परियों के जहान में ले जाऊंगी।  तुम्हारे दौर की नींव जहां, उस डगर की सैर करवाऊंगी।    बैर, द्वेष से कोसो दूर,कोई होड़ न चिंता थी।  न कैमरा न व्हाट्सएप ,आंखों में बंद सबकी पिक्चर थी । कागज के पत्रों पर सबके, अपडेट हमेशा मिलते थे। मन करता है वैसा एक पत्र , मैं सब सखियों को लिख डालूं।    बुलाकर उनको भी वहां पर, बचपन के सारे खेल, खेल डालूं। पापा के आंगन की परी और मां के आंचल की दुलारी बनूं।  एक बार फिर मैं जी लूं बचपन के वे सुनहरे दिन। मुस्कराकर, मैं बोली, बेटा ,टाइम मशीन का काम नहीं ।  उम्र का साल कोई भी हो,बस धड़कनो में,नशा जीने का हो। बचपन का बस सार इतना, जीवन क
