Before partaking your food

If you talk while taking food, the digestive system will be spoiled. Once the digestive system is spoiled, several diseases will confront you.

Before partaking your food, pray to God silently keeping your eyes closed. Take your food in silence in a calm environment. Do not howl, talk and chit chat while taking food. Do not cry or laugh too. Do not entertain worry before or while taking food. These are some of the precautions to be taken to lead a happy life.
