Dieting with Yoga

Article by Bryan Abram Marks

Yoga is a discipline in which one of the ultimate goals involves living a physically and mentally healthy life. One of the most important factors to consider in a yogic lifestyle is a yoga diet plan. Since the beginnings of yoga thousands of years ago, yogis have emphasized the link between the food that a person eats and his or her spiritual, physical and emotional well being. Throughout the years, science has developed exact measurements for the nutrition levels of food, thus allowing a person to mathematically devise a healthy diet. However, yogic diet plans have been passed down through generations and are therefore much more traditional. A yoga diet is not concerned with the chemical content of food (vitamins, protein, etc.), but rather with the food's effect on the mind and body.

There is no specific eating schedule involved with a yoga diet plan, but the principles of yoga categorize food into three sections that can help a yoga practitioner decide what to eat:

Sattvic - This type of food is "sweet, fresh and agreeable." It promotes calmness and clarity of the mind, which makes it favorable for spiritual growth. Sattivc food includes most vegetables, fruits, seeds, nuts, whole grains, pure water, honey, and milk. Because of chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are currently used on crops, organic products are the only foods that can be considered Sattvic.

Rajasic - This type of food is acceptable for the body and promotes activity; however, this causes the mind to become restless. Rajasic foods include stimulants such as coffee and tea, garlic, eggs, most spicy foods, meat, fish, onions, chocolate, and most processed food. Eating with a troubled mind or eating too quickly can also be considered rajasic. Yoga practitioners whose aim is to achieve peace of mind should avoid these foods, but people that have an active lifestyle will benefit from them.

Tamasic - This category involves food that should be avoided because it causes mental dullness and heaviness of the body. It includes stale or overripe food as well as alcohol. Overeating is also considered tamasic.

It is traditionally advised to fill half of the stomach with food and a quarter of the stomach with water. The last quarter should be left empty.
