🍽️ Eat Less, Work More, Live Better

We live in a time where food is everywhere. Super-sized. 24/7. Delivered to your door.But the Prophet ﷺ taught us something different — timeless wisdom that modern science is only just catching up to:

“The son of Adam does not fill a vessel worse than his stomach...”(Tirmidhi)

And he ﷺ said:

"It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his back straight. If he must, then one third for food, one third for drink, and one third for air."(Ibn Majah)

💡 Science now proves it:

Eating less (especially fasting or smaller portions) boosts energy, brain clarity, and focus.
It reduces inflammation, improves metabolism, and increases discipline.
You feel lighter, move faster, and think sharper.

We were never meant to eat to the point of laziness. That feeling after a huge meal where you just want to crash? Not barakah. That’s baggage.

✅ When I started eating less, I worked more, slept better, and even prayed with more presence. The hunger reminded me of my purpose.
