YOGA AND DIET

Yoga is an ancient oriental discipline that emerged from mystical and philosophical concepts. Today it is practiced in the west, partly due to the promotion of its benefits to improve the lifestyle and overall health. Yoga originated around 3000 years B.C., under mystical and philosophical concepts in the Hindu tradition. It was transmitted exclusively from teacher to student up until the mid-19th century. Its principles rest in metaphysics, which is hard to understand in Western countries and for those who do not practice it.

The dietary pattern of a person is one of the most important predictors of health risk. There is substantial evidence that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, lean meat, and fish is inversely associated with the risk of chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease, cancer, or diabetes.

• Mindfulness is not only an essential tool in your yoga practice it is also very important at mealtimes. Your food choices should be tailor-made to support you, important basic factors to take into consideration are lifestyle, health, and age. Your diet should come from a conscious, self-reflective look at how your eating habits affect your body, mind, and soul.
• The yogic diet is based on the yoga principles of purity (sattva), nonviolence (ahimsa), and balanced living. It consists of foods with sattvic qualities, which increase energy and create balance in the mind and body.  Rajasic and Tamasic foods are limited or eliminated whenever possible, as their low vibration or life force and inherent toxins reduce the vitality of the person eating them.
• Sattvic foods are pure and life-giving, and they promote health, vitality, strength, and relaxation. These include fresh fruit and juices, vegetables and herbs, honey, whole grains, nuts, and seeds and should be organically grown, locally sourced, (where possible) unprocessed and additive, and preservative-free.
• Rajasic foods are overstimulating and promote excess energy. They cause sleeplessness, anger, hyperactivity, and restlessness of the mind. These include meat, fish, coffee, black tea sweets, chocolate, food additives/colourings, some spices and eggs and are spicy, sour, bitter, dry, and salty.  Eating in a hurry is also considered rajasic.
• A Tamasic Diet benefits neither the mind nor the body. This group includes foods that are stale, over-cultivated, packaged, preserved, and deep-fried. Tamasic foods can be difficult to digest, make you feel bloated, and encourage lethargy. The body’s immune system is compromised. Overeating is also considered tamasic.

5 painless diet tweaks:  

• Choose whole grains – eg brown rice, quinoa, oats, spelled, rye or millet.  
• Eat the whole fruit instead of having juice from a carton.  
• Ditch the fizzy drinks.  
• Switch to coconut oil.
• Try to eat something raw every day – fruit, salad, nuts, or seeds.
