True yoga must meet the "Su" wind

Yoga is becoming increasingly popular in China, and many fashionable people are participating in yoga fitness. By practicing yoga postures, breathing, and meditation, we can have an enviable figure and relieve physical and mental stress. But do you know the secret of longevity that true yoga masters have? Why do long-term yoga practitioners always look radiant? How can we reduce or even eliminate our irritable temper? How can you make your body more flexible, clean and healthy? The answer to these questions is a healthy yogic diet!

Yoga divides food into three categories:

Inert food

Some foods can make the body stiff, accelerate aging, and make people irritable and impatient, namely various meats and their products, such as chicken, pork, beef, fish, eggs and their products, and animal offal. This also includes highly irritating foods such as cigarettes, alcohol, and chili peppers. Long-term consumption of these foods can cause body stiffness, irritability, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, digestive system diseases, cancer, arthritis and other symptoms. These foods are called "inert foods" in the yoga diet.

Denatured Food

In the yoga diet, what are called "denatured foods" are various highly irritating seasonings, pickled foods, processed and cooked foods, such as coffee, strong tea, chocolate, carbonated drinks, etc.; various baked foods such as cream cakes, cookies, donuts, various instant noodles, canned foods, etc. Eating such foods can increase calories, but it is unhealthy and not good for the mind. After long-term consumption, people will become slow in thinking and lack patience.

Pleasurable Food

The foods recommended for yoga practitioners are called "joyful foods", including various grains, beans and their products, fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, milk and dairy products, etc. Long-term consumption can not only make you have a healthy body, but also purify the mind, make people calm and free from illness. The dietary principles recommended by yoga based on the characteristics of modern people's lives are: eat more pleasant foods, eat less modified foods, and do not eat inert foods! As a result, many people worry about malnutrition. There are so many restrictions on practicing yoga, and I can't do it. In fact, there is no need to worry about this. When we start practicing yoga, we don’t need to change anything too deliberately. Changes will happen naturally. There is no need to worry about malnutrition, as the animal protein needed by the human body can be obtained from milk. This is why cows are considered gods in India.

Another interpretation of food by Indian yoga is somewhat mysterious. Yoga believes that everything on our earth is closely related to the sun, especially humans. Without the sun, there would be no life on Earth. Yoga: The food we humans get should be plants that are directly exposed to sunlight (plants undergo photosynthesis). Because this is the first food to convert solar energy. But if we eat animals, the good nutrients are absorbed by the animals and the remaining waste is then absorbed by us. You can imagine what it tastes like to eat other people's leftovers. After hearing this, do you still want to eat meat?

Fasting

After practicing yoga for a period of time, I believe many people hope that their bodies will become cleaner. In yoga training, regular yoga fasting practice is essential. This method allows the digestive and excretory systems to rest temporarily, allowing the body to detoxify itself, making the body cleaner and enhancing the body's immunity. It is an effective way to fight and eliminate physical diseases, self-regulate and achieve self-healing.

One-day "fasting" is the simplest, easiest and safest fasting method, and is widely spread around the world. It has been proven that it can eliminate various neurotic disorders, such as neurasthenia, and can also adjust the function of the digestive system. It is a good way to start the transition from a meat-eating to a vegetarian diet. After fasting, people become very sensitive to the color, texture, aroma and taste of food. Starting a vegetarian diet from this time on is easily acceptable to the digestive system and will not cause any burden. You can fast after practicing yoga for a period of time. You can choose to do it on weekends. Eat a vegetarian diet all day on Friday and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Start to reduce your meals on Friday dinner and don’t eat staple food for dinner. Get up early on Saturday morning and don’t eat. Yoga is a quiet rest, listening to music, reading, and relaxing. You should not overwork. You can sit quietly and meditate. You can drink water at mealtimes and go to bed early. Start eating again on Sunday morning. Eat a small amount of breakfast and eat slowly and in small amounts. Do not eat meat, high-fat or other heavy foods for lunch. Chew slowly and avoid eating sour or irritating foods. You can also do it under the guidance of an experienced teacher, or participate in group fasting activities.

Fasting is good for the body and even better for the mind. People no longer need to work to digest food, their inner wisdom is stimulated, their potential energy is awakened, and it is conducive to deep concentration and deep meditation. In fact, you can take out 30 minutes every day to be alone, sit quietly, regulate your breathing and meditate, and give yourself some time to be alone and quiet. You can do nothing and think nothing, just relax your nerves and relieve stress. After practicing yoga for a period of time, you will feel a peaceful temperament and a happy inner heart. Some people will obviously feel that they don’t want to eat meat. This is normal. Don’t worry. The human digestive system is most adapted to vegetarian food. Pay attention to adjusting your diet and choose food in a comprehensive and balanced manner. You can reduce the protein in meat, increase the intake of milk and yogurt, increase the intake of soy products, and take vitamin tablets and trace element tablets. Drink more water instead of beverages, coffee, etc. You can add lemon juice or lemon slices to water, which has anti-aging effects and balances the body's acidity and alkalinity.

Yoga diet makes you young, healthy and energetic, and makes you handsome!
