Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

 

I have heard from people that health, diet, diesease is mentioned in both the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and Dasam Granth Sahib Ji. Does anyone have any further information, it would be interesting to know?

I know time and time again its mentioned in Guru Granth Sahib Ji to sleep little and also eat little but is there anything else?

What is the best guide to health and diet so we can ensure that our body is upkept to the best degree which is important for meditation? Also is there anything/any advice that sant/mahapurshs have given on this topic?

Would appreciate any insight. Thanks

Gurbani promotes Satoguni diet. Eat simple lacto-vegetarian food.

Examples of food asked for by Bhagats (in Gurbani) include pulses, wheat, milk products, grains, etc.

The below is from another topic. Please have a look
