Purity for body and mind is considered the biggest goal among yogis. On the other hand, they want to avoid everything that makes them sluggish and heavy or spreads unrest. This is very logical against the background of the philosophy of this sport, because who is sluggish and restless, can not achieve peace and inner balance.
Dos of the yogic diet: You can taste that
- Fresh and wholesome ingredients are on the menu and should be integrated into the daily diet completely naturally. This means that you z. B. instead of canned tomatoes should rather enjoy fresh tomatoes or instead of nutrient-poor wheat spaghetti should prefer to use the wholegrain variant.
- Foods without toxins are a matter of course for yogis, which is why they consistently focus on organic quality in order to avoid toxic substances. To be able to flush out any toxins that may have been ingested, as a true yogi you should drink plenty of water or healthy herbal tea. You can safely replace plastic bottles with the good old glass bottle. The same applies to foods that may be contaminated with antibiotics and / or environmental toxins, such as fish and meat. The production and processing conditions should be regional, seasonal and fair.
- Food should taste really good and who gets down to the healthy yogic food only laboriously, so doing in the long run no favor. However, you should give yourself some time, because the taste buds must of course first get used to the new diet and it is clear that you will miss the intense taste of Burger & Co. in the beginning.
Don'ts of yogic diet: You better keep your hands off that
- Everything that is difficult to digest or quickly perishable should be avoided, as these foods put a strain on the body. Unfortunately, this includes garlic and onions. As heavy digestible is also the excessive enjoyment. Gluttony makes you lethargic and is therefore not conducive to a good body feeling. The same applies to too little food, because the shortage turns a strong fast into a weak body. Very strict yogis usually eat nothing from the day before and strictly avoid low-food, because both in the sense was not freshly prepared.
- Disquieting foods are also taboo among convinced yogis. These include, for example, coffee and alcohol, refined sugar, white bread, but also other carbohydrates, which ensure that the blood sugar level shoots up quickly and then complete energylessness is the result. Non-alcoholic soft drinks, such as a non-alcoholic beer, however, are allowed from time to time.
