If you talk while taking food, the digestive system will be spoiled.
Once the digestive system is spoiled, several diseases will confront
you. Before partaking your food, pray to God silently keeping
your eyes closed. Take your food in silence in a calm
environment. Do not howl, talk and chit chat while taking food.
Do not cry or laugh too. Do not entertain worry before or while
taking food. These are some of the precautions to be taken to
lead a happy life.
