While
celebrating International Yoga Day, we bring to you some habits and food that
would help nurture your body along with the Yoga asanas.
1. Self-Discipline- This principle is
followed in every aspect of yoga and therefore in the eating involved too.
Whatever you eat must be in moderation and nor in excess as to banish all the
good benefits of Yoga.
2. Sweet Fruits- Fruits which are
naturally sweet aid a lot in increasing the metabolism of your body along with Yoga.
These include apples, raisins, pears, kiwis, apricots.
3. Milk Products- As “satvic” foods are
recommended for people practising Yoga; these include all the milk products
from paneer to yoghurt.
4. Avoid onions and garlic- Satvic foods
always involve food which lead to purification of body, mind and soul. Onions
and garlic are said to be dark and dull and falls under the category of Tamasic
foods.
5. Anti-oxidants- Coffee and Tea leads
to insomnia, nervousness, extra calories too. Therefore, limit its intake to
maximum 2 cups a day. You can also opt for Herbal tea or Green tea.
6. Spices and Alcohol- Low spice content
is recommended. Alcohol is considered to be a “nutrient-thief” and also weakens
an individual mentally and physically.
7. Plant-Based Oils- this include-Olive,
Safflower, Sesame, Sunflower oil.
These practices and choice of food-eating might not work overnight.
However, if you follow it for a considerable period of time along with Yoga, it
is sure to instil purity in your lifestyle.
How far have you gone to change your lifestyle with yoga?
