This is something that takes spiritual understanding to understand. Spiritual understanding comes after we accept Christ and we are born again.
The Lord created the earth and man in His image, so many physical things has a spiritual side. Another way of looking at this is to look at symbolism in the bible. Our physical mind can better understand spiritual things through our understanding of the spiritual.
We understand that the food we eat feeds our bodies, our body needs it. God explains the spiritual words of scripture as feeding our spirit in the same way. God uses this for our understanding. God gives us the Holy Spirit so that we can understand spiritual things. When we understand spiritually, we know God is spirit and has no need for physical food. We can also understand the spiritual meaning of scripture that talks of physical things.
