Interesting facts about Annamaya Kosha

Annamaya kosha is the outermost layer of our body i.e., our bones, muscles, skin, etc. which states our physical body. As we understood in earlier blogs all koshas are interconnected to each other which completes us which we called Atman.

This is the first step towards healthy physical and mental wisdom. The food we eat from which we get nutrition, exercises that give us physical strength, sleep from which our physical body remains healthy for a long time and cleansing rituals like fasting or detoxing all come under Annamaya kosha which leads to a healthy physical body.

One by one we will all get to know about the techniques and by sharing experiences you will find a solution or at least give a little idea that helps to get out of the situation.

Healthy food is always misinterpreted as the specific foods which are easily digested or give nutrition to the body at maximum level. Although this is not the only way to healthy food. We already know all healthy foods and the different types of nutrition you get from the specific food but in this blog, you will get another side of healthy food.

There are broadly more ways to make your food even more healthy,

 

• Physical ­– where one realizes the taste and importance of food
• Subtle – where the importance and effect of food is felt
• Causal – in which the mental impressions (or samskaras) of food are preserved.

 We can see in detail, how it works for our healthy food.
