Yoga practitioners have a particular diet

Foods recommended by yogis include fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. They don't talk much about food details because they lived in an era where there were no problems such as food processing and soil pollution we have today. Moreover, because they practice yoga, their bodies are in a highly healthy state, their diet is no longer able to exert the power of the left-right state, and any toxins formed in their bodies will soon be excreted.

You can see that the nutritional principles of yoga are quite similar to modern scientific content developed over a long time.

Meat:

Yogis warn against one food: meat. Not all yogis are vegetarian, but they all advise extreme caution about eating meat. Yogis say that because meat comes from animals, it has a low vibration rate, which will reduce the life force of the carnivore, which will reduce the vitality and affect the progress of yoga. Meat also contains toxins, especially lactic acid produced by muscle metabolism.

Remember, these were proposed thousands of years ago. Meat is worse today because we inject a lot of toxic chemicals into dead animal carcasses to remove the stench of carrion meat and improve its luster and taste. Of course, the human body can cope with certain levels of abuse-the human body does have a mechanical effect on removing toxins. But if you want to eat meat, please limit the amount.

Fruit:

The food that yogis appreciate most is fruit. They believe that fruits contain the highest life force. Fruits are also nutritious, eaten raw, unprocessed, easily digestible, and provide fast and long-lasting energy without toxins during the day. No wonder yogis love fruits the most.

Vegetables:

Yogis believe that green plants such as lettuce, broccoli, and broccoli contain the highest life force among vegetables.

Fresh food:

Yoga emphasizes that food should be as fresh as possible. This means that we should eat more fresh fruits and less frozen and canned food. Frozen food is not so bad because the enzymes are still preserved, but canned food has been heated, destroying many vitamins, minerals and enzymes.

Raw food:

Yogis also point out that we should eat more raw foods, such as fruits, salads, raw nuts and bean sprouts. They believe that cooking loses most of the life force and original flavor of food. As we lose the original flavor, we add salt, spices and condiments, and these additives often create more problems. Modern science fully agrees with this view.

Food temperature:

Yoga also takes note of food temperature. Yogis say food should not be too hot or too cold. They believe that food and drinks that are too hot or too cold can damage throat tissue. Modern science agrees with the comparison and believes that eating too hot or too cold can irritate the throat to the point of cancer.

Alcohol:

Yogis do not drink alcohol because they believe that drinking wine lowers the vibrations of their subtle bodies that still exist after death. This violates the purpose of yoga, which is to increase the level of vibration in order to slowly develop the higher self.

Yoga also believes that alcohol has a negative impact on the brain-dominated central nervous system. Yogis believe that the unity of the central nervous system is important because one of the goals of yoga is to improve the health of this system, and most of the progress of yoga depends on this important interlocking system.

Modern science agrees with yoga because it is now known that alcohol's effect on the central nervous system is to stimulate first and then suppress it. This short stimulation period is why many people believe that alcohol has a stimulating effect. It is this effect that causes many people to feel more "excited" and talkative for a while. However, this time was short and quickly replaced by a longer period of depression caused by alcohol. For this reason, alcohol is officially classified as a sedative. Alcohol also causes poor sleep quality. Some people claim that alcohol makes them "relax" and sleep better.

Science and experience say this is a wrong explanation. What these people describe is actually only that alcohol makes them fall asleep quickly, but this kind of sleep is unnatural and compulsive. Therefore, they wake up early and will not feel refreshed. They're not going to have an easy day for the rest of the day.

Alcohol cannot compare with yoga. Yoga can produce natural stimulation without feeling post-mortem frustration. Yoga can also create a feeling of self-confidence. The increased life power due to practicing yoga cannot be replicated by drugs.

This is not to say that you have to give up to have a high level of energy or make significant progress in yoga. But if you do drink, limit your alcohol so you can avoid most of the frustration and permanent brain damage caused by alcohol. (Internship Editor: Li Jianhong)
