Diet and Yoga

Food is very important in yoga practice. All are having a natural instinct to have healthy diet to stay healthy. We all know what is bad and what is good food for us. But we forget the goods when we are with friends and family before food. Yoga helps us to stimulate the need of food. Food provides energy to the body and mind helping to enhance the immunity of our body. Fresh foods gives lightness in our body. No strict rules are assigned in yoga. While having food let our consciousness awake to eat what we need. The main factor is to eat fresh foods in moderation. Vegetarianism is advised because it can give inner calmness and harmony between body and mind.
Eat food when you are hungry. Take care not to fill the stomach in full. Leave a portion free in the tummy to have liquid foods. Eat food in time. Start your day with two glasses of pure water in empty stomach. Have a healthy breakfast to break the fast overnight. Have a moderate lunch and a light dinner. Do not forget to drink at least 12 glass water a day. Every time when you eat, thank for the food and enjoy the food. So eat to live don't live to eat.
Rather than food the other essentials such as needs, wants, intuitions and instincts for a healthy life are required for being well physically, mentally and emotionally.
