Each time you practice asana or pranayama, your capacity to control your focus, breath, and body increases. Likewise, as you dive deeper into the yoga philosophy, you will find yourself eating, sleeping, and thinking like a yogi! And when it comes to eating, diet certainly plays a significant role. Food is an important element and life-giving energy to the human body. The quality and type of food impact our physical, as well as mental well-being.
Let’s see nutrition from the yogic perspective. It includes much more than just the nutritional content of the food. As a full-fledged yogic practice demands a proper supplementation of the body with nutrients, the energetic aspect of nutrition should also be taken into consideration.
Meat or no meat?
The dilemma Many yogis face this question. As you may have heard already, many yoga practitioners start to feel that they don’t feel right anymore to consume non-vegetarian food.
What is the correct yogic diet (Sattvic Diet)?
Have you ever observed the impact of the food intake on your yoga practice? Some foods can wreck the harmony in ourselves as some certain foods creating bloating or digestion disorders. On the other hand, there are also some foods that are more subtle and suitable to the body and mind.
The concept of Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, enlightens us on the impact of different foods on our overall physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. As per Ayurveda, “Sattva” denotes purity in quality of self-control and spiritual well-being as apparent in the form of intelligence, virtue, awareness, and happiness. Thus foods that are sattvic, promote purity in terms of both mind and body. They help nurture the mind – one that is clear, filled with compassion and keeps calm.
Following Sattvic diet
The good news for yogis is that Sattvic foods are absolutely vegetarian! Thus no animals are harmed in the making of such foods as they do not contain any animal products. These foods should be naturally cultivated and should not include any harmful preservatives, additive substances or artificial flavors.
What is Sattvic diet consist of?
Sattvic diet generally includes:
- Fresh, organically grown fruits and vegetables
- Nuts and whole grains
- Dairy – based foods example ghee (clarified butter) and milk
- Lentils
- Beans
- Oils that are plant-based
- Foods with mild sweetness containing natural and unrefined sugars
- Spices such as turmeric, ginger, coriander, basil and cinnamon
