"Tamas ahaar" are a certain type of food that can vary the emotion levels of a person. Over eating of salt and sugar, onions, chillies, garlic, drumstick, non vegetarian food and fermented drinks can increase certain hormones which can make you get angry during tensing situations. This is why philosophers and scholars avoid eating these types of food.
