Yogic Diet

  • Анастасия Тихоноваhas quoted4 years ago
    One thing to remember is, don’t become a food freak – “I will not eat this, I will not eat that. I have to eat like this, I have to eat like that.” Eating joyously is more important than eating properly. Food has influences on you but it is not the deciding factor.
    The true joy of eating is that you are conscious of some other life willing to become a part of you, to merge and mingle with your own life and become you. This is the greatest pleasure that a human being knows, that in some way, something that is not him has become willing to become a part of him

    When you cook the food generally you're destroying almost 90 percent of these enzymes. So when you eat this food minus the enzymes the body cannot digest it. So it is trying to reconstitute some of the enzymes

    Groundnuts or peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) are a complete diet. In India, many yogis go on a 100% groundnut diet because it is a complete food by itself. Groundnuts must be soaked for a minimum of six hours in water, which takes away certain aspects called pitta in Ayurveda.
