Yoga Diet
The Yoga Diet is a way to find your ideal weight and achieve emotional and spiritual balance by redefining your relationship with food. It's a branch of Yoga all on its own (called Anna Yoga) and it’s not a diet in the sense of counting calories or complicated menu planning. The Yoga Diet does not require you to feel hungry or go without.
In the Yoga Diet you learn about food and the way it affects you – not just your looks, but whether you’re happy or sad, sick or well, a fully-functioning being or walking disaster. The Yoga Diet will help you to achieve your material and spiritual goals.
You don't have to be a vegetarian to do yoga, but as you become more aware of your body, you'll find that eating meat makes you feel heavy. A vegetarian diet, on the other hand, helps you maintain the light and energized feeling you get from practicing yoga. Just go easy on the fried spring rolls and cheese dishes—they can put on the pounds.
Switching to a vegetarian diet isn't hard as long as you have tasty alternatives. And you don't have to do it overnight. First cut down on red meat, then gradually eliminate it from your diet. As you find other vegetarian foods you enjoy, you can gradually give up poultry, fish, and eggs. You'll join the ranks of thousands of new vegetarians, many of whom have changed their diets for health reasons now that flesh foods have been linked to cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, and so on.
The key to true health is to have a balanced wholefoods diet. A balanced diet ensures that all the faculties of digestion work smoothly – absorption, assimilation and elimination. A balanced whole foods diet ensures a healthy you!!
It is extremely important that all these 3 aspects work well together. If all these aspects work in harmony it is extremely unlikely that you’ll suffer from health disorders and even obesity. Often “synthetic” or “processed” foods create conditions that disrupt this balance. This leads to several physical and psychological problems. Over years, this can have dangerous consequences.
Basically vegetarianism is recommended because through their own experience, the masters found that meat "stimulates", or rather "irritates", the human system. They point out that the meat eating nations are the most aggressive, and as they arc seeking to explore the deepest levels of their own nature and mind, they wish to avoid too much physical stimulation. This is rather like trying to look into the depths of a pool, and it is easier if the wind does not cause ripples to disturb the surface. The deeps are always there, undisturbed by the ripples, but cannot be seen unless the surface is as a mirror.
