Guest guest Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Satmya or asatmya is also Desh (Place/Climatic conditions), Kal (Time) linked. If you try to analyze what kind of food is likely to be good for a particular kind of climate and people inhabiting that area; later on comparing the kind of food, most ppl of that area eat, surprisingly you would reach the conclusion that the tradional food and preparations of that population suit best the needs of the land. Any person migrating to a new land also would feel the traditional food of the area to be getting SATMYA for him, in due course of time. So it is suggested that while planning the dietary regime for a patient, the traditional food of that area must be kept in mind.

I have wondered some since lots of the foods mentioned in the texts I have read are hard to get or not available or totally unfamiliar here. Yet others are common since Louisiana is a hot semi-tropical (here anyway) climate. I read a book on blood types and diet and think it was a little off, but also I have studied folklore and know that people may say they have one reason for eating a food, then later it turns out to have been the perfect choice because that food kills parasites, for example. Can you talk more about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
