Spiritual nourishment is very important for the Physical body to be healthy apart from nurturing physical body with good food, vitamins, minerals etc.
Lot of people neglect Spiritual aspect of the body.
We have Physical Body which is made up of head, legs, hands stomach etc., and Spiritual body which is made up of Subtle element called Soul or ATMA.
I will give you an analogy of a Bird and Cave to understand the above concept. Body is like a Cage and Bird is like a Soul (ATMA).
when we take care of the Cage or Physical Body, it is good. But if we ignore the Bird in this case Soul (ATMA), Bird is going to die without food, in this case Soul (ATMA) suffers. It doesn't matter however best your Body is taken care, in this case if we take care of the cage very well and ignore the Bird, Bird is going to die because of hunger. Same way, we need to take car of the Soul through Prayers and connect with Almighty lord everyday, that keeps our physical body healthy and sound. It doesn't matter whatever back grounds we may have, every religion and culture has their own way of connecting with the Supreme Absolute Almighty GOD. This is essential for each and every living entity to leave in a healthy and sound life.
more will follow soon.
