Ayurveda and yogic philosophy believe that food does more than nourish the body; it also shapes your thoughts, emotions, and energy.

Rajasic foods are foodstuffs that stimulate the body and mind, increasing activity, passion, ambition, and movement.

Food in Ayurveda nourishes not only the body but also the mind. Tamasic foods are traditionally associated with the Tamas guna, which represents heaviness, lethargy, and dullness.
