Yoga is a holistic approach to developing one’s mind and soul; Yoga leads one to good health. One thing that also defines the overall well being is food; what we eat does everything to our body. • In this time when everybody is in a rush, packaged and junk food has made life easy. But the joy of slow cooking, preparing the ingredients to cook it has all gone. Everybody wants ready-to-cook meals these days; people opt for easy take-aways. These meals are absolutely unhealthy in nature. Yoga doesn’t agree with this practice of food consumption. Yoga believes in:
Positive preparations • The effects of food start with how you are preparing it. Even while preparing and cooking the food, you should be in a positive state of mind. The way you feel gets into the food so be happy when cooking. Chanting or humming mantras is a good way to stay positive and feel happy.
What should my meal include? • Your meal should include lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, cereals, legumes, ghee and other dairy products. Such a meal is called Sattvik meal. It increases immunity, body strength and health.
Mitahara • One should moderate the intake of food. Half of the stomach should be filled with food, 1/4th with liquids and 1/4th should be empty for gases to flow easily.
Chew slowly • We usually eat very fast and eat very big bites. That’s not how you are supposed to eat. You should chew your food very well before swallowing it; chew it atleast 20-30 times before taking it in. This helps in the absorption of all the nutrients.
Focus on eating • When eating food give complete attention to your food; do not watch television or watch video on phone. Try and eat at the same time everyday. Eat in a quiet and peaceful environment.
Listen to your body • Don’t overfill your stomach; do not eat just because it’s time to eat. Eat only when you are hungry. Eat slowly for your mind to give a signal to stop eating when it's full.
Complete attention • When eating, do not multitask. GIve proper attention to your food. Be aware of what you are eating.
