The world's unique yoga "menu" you deserve

Yoga is a complete set of self-conditioning methods, including "exercise, conditioning, relaxation, breathing, and diet". If you can achieve comprehensive conditioning, you will achieve the best results. The yoga menu is designed based on this concept. It originated from the Indian food culture, which uses pure natural food to maintain health. This principle is very similar to the "prevention is better than cure" emphasized by traditional Chinese medicine. The most important thing is to eat properly.

In terms of raw materials, the selection of ingredients for this yoga menu pays great attention to seasonality. Some natural vegetables, fruits and herbs of the season are collected and matched with condiments of unique flavor. In terms of cooking methods, high-temperature frying of food is avoided, and some light cooking methods that can preserve the natural nutrients of food are selected, such as salads, etc., which can be eaten before fitness and form a long-term habit, to assist in improving the effects of a whole set of yoga exercises from a dietary perspective. Low-fat ingredients such as fish and chicken will appear in future yoga recipes. For us, the best thing about the existing yoga menu is that we can easily make it at home, which is delicious and healthy.

After exercising, you are sweating profusely and exhausted. What should you eat? If I recommend you to take medicinal food supplements here, you will definitely think it is an exaggeration. It is best to take a few gulps of ice water to cool down.

In fact, people's appetite decreases at this time, and their diet tends to be cold and raw, so they need to be regulated with warming foods. For people who have done a lot of exercise, proper diet can help reduce your restlessness. Have a cup of clear tonic or a bowl of original tonic soup to thoroughly nourish your body and mind.
