Yoga Diet


Vegetarian diet is essential to those who seek a spiritual life. If you really want to grow spiritually and to rise from an ordinary material life to a higher spiritual consciousness, you need to observe a vegetarian diet. The fact that there is food, which contributes to a more subtle work of the mind and body, but there is also such that it reduces consciousness to the animal level. 

Yogi prefers such food, which updates almost no body loads of slag and stress, giving the soul a calm, clear and exalted state. Cleansing the body and soul goes hand in hand with spiritual rebirth. Vegetarian diet contributes significantly to lofty thoughts, meditation on the divine, as well as meditation and compassion. 

Yogi shows compassion and respect for all living things, as described in the Bhagavadgita: "The humble sage, by virtue of their virtuous knowledge is equally applicable to pundit (teachers, clergy), cow, elephant, dog and hog dogs (pariahs). 

Yoga diet consists of foods that grow in natural conditions - it is vegetables, herbs, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, legumes and some dairy products. Yogi uses these products either in its natural form or in that which makes them suitable for easy digestion with minimal disruption to your prana (life force).
