JAINISM AND WORLD PROBLEMS
One thing more with reference to meals. It is necessary to recognize that emotions play a very important role in our lives. Happiness accompanies good cheer, and leads to robust health, because our emotions have a vast influence on digestion. Hence it is always necessary to eat foods in clean attractive surroundings. It is not merely a question of supplying the bodily needs in calories, but of the proper digestion of what is supplied. We must also see to it that the proteins, starches and fats are all in suitable proportions in the menus for different meals.
