Diet occupies a dominant place in the yoga system. It is said that "as you eat, so you become". This is because the kind and quality of food affects the physical as well as mental condition of the individual . Thus , the individual who does not take a proper diet and who does not have a proper understanding of the principles of eating gradually begins to harm himself physically and mentally both.
He begins to fell the ill effects of wrong eating habits on his appearance, behavior ,thought and also on action. And the individual whose thought , action and appearance would not be desirable for a particular period of time would naturally show undesirable consequences which would justify the saying that 'as you eat so you become'.
In yoga, all foods have been divided into three categories; Rajasi, Tamasi and Sartvik.
