“You Are What You Eat”
- Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin -
This is a famous quote firstly mentioned by jean anthelme brillat savarin, in 1826, in his book called ‘The Physiology of Taste.’ He wrote, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.” Basically what he meant by this is that you could determine someone’s mental, emotional and physical health by what they eat.
In simple words, everything we choose to consume will directly or indirectly affect our brain. For example, studies have shown that consuming too little tryptophan (α-amino acid), which is present in most protein based foods, makes us depressed and angry. Food not only affects your brain, but it also alters the way you behave.
It also becomes very important to find out where to eat because in vastu shastra every place and direction has a certain kind of energy. And this energy not only controls our emotions and behavior, but also affects the quality of food. Let’s take a look and learn vastu tips for dining room.

- Tibetan Proverb -
In the modern life we are so occupied with the technology that we lose sight of ourselves and one another. The importance of the dining room is that, by design, its main purpose is gathering everyone around to sit down for a meal. Dining room is something where technology is non-existent and families come together to eat and catch up on each other’s lives. So the importance of a dining room is even more in the technology oriented modern life.
The importance of dining room increases even more when the effects of energies present in the room taken into consideration. Vastu Shastra principles help us to keep the flow of positive energy in the dining room. Therefore, we advise you to take vastu expert’s advice before you make any changes in your dining room.
