As per Ayurveda text, the body is divided into 5 types fo koshas i.e. (five sheaths) whose proper functioning is necessary at all times. These are Annamaya Kosha, pranamaya Kosha, Manomaya Kosha, Anandamaya Kosha, and vidnyanmaya Kosha. Out of this Annamaya Kosha is the first one.
In charaka samhita while defining 'Ahara', it has been mentioned that the food be appealing to the mind first.
When the individual is happy and cheerful, he eats properly and also whatever food is consumed gets digested properly.
When the individual is afflictedwith grief, fear or other mental disturbances then even if the wholesome food is taken in proper quantity and it does not get properly digested.
Love and affection of the family and relatives, assurances of elderly persons and healthy and cheerful atmosphere at work place, home or at hospital are important factors for getting benifits of the consumed food or medication.Hence it is important to remain cheerful and happy.
