We have to learn to experience that we feel differently with different weather conditions and climatic changes. We have to learn that we have all that what the entire cosmos has and we need a large variety of ingredients in our nutrition to keep body and mind balanced. We are not a single unit but we are an integral part of this dynamic cosmos where every thing is interrelated, interdependent and interconnected. We have to take into account that our emotions and state of mind has an immediate effect on us, just like the bad or good food.
