As-Salaam alaikum,
In this ayat, Allah Ta'ala says:--

spirits in a green bird that drinks from the rivers of Paradise, eats its fruits
and rests near golden candles hanging in the shadows of the Throne.

When they saw that their food, drink and resting places were good, they said:
'Who will let our brothers know that we are alive in Paradise, and that we receive
our sustenance, but they may not skimp in the struggle, and that they do not
abdicate in the war? Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, said: 'I will let them know.'

In any case, if our rationale for life is that we eat and move around, they also eat. Whatever you eat of grain, fruit or meat is a product of dust; you consume dust, they consume Noor... Divine Light.
 
May Allah bless you with paradise brother

That's something new I have learned today

Consuming light subhanallah
