Image
  Srimad Bhagvad Gita beautifully describes the concept of food in Chapter 17, Verse 8.

With so many “low-carb” or “keto” diets in trend, many people believe that carbohydrates are unhealthy or fattening. But the truth is — not all carbs are created equal! Understanding what carbohydrates really are, how they affect our body, and how to choose the right kind can make a world of difference to your health.   Defining Carbohydrates - What Are Carbohydrates?
