Ancient yogis began to pay attention to the health of diet from ancient times and formed a set of healthy diet methods. They divide food into three categories:
The first category: pleasant food. It refers to all fresh and clean fruits, vegetables and beans, dairy products and all grains. These foods make the body and mind pure and relaxed, and the temperament is soft. Keep your body full of energy and keep healthy.
Category II: Inert food. Including all kinds of meat, garlic, cigarettes, wine and stale food. This kind of food is easy to cause obesity, laziness and mental retardation, which makes people depressed and destroys the balance of our physical and mental state.
The third category: denatured food. Refers to food cooked with all kinds of spicy spices. Whether it's pleasant food or inert food. As long as it is processed and cooked, it will become denatured food, such as adding excessive pepper and monosodium glutamate to various vegetables. People who often eat transsexual foods will be grumpy, impatient and stressed.
Healthy eating is an important part of people's lifestyle. People's living habits will directly change their eating habits, and the same eating habits will also affect our lives. Vegetarianism is advocated in yoga, but it is not forced. You can adjust it slowly according to your living habits.
Eating time of yoga:
There are two kinds of eating time for yoga, which can be chosen according to your own situation.
Indian yogis suggest that you can only eat two meals a day:
Breakfast at 9:00 in the morning and dinner at 18:00 in the evening.
You can eat some fruit and juice in moderation after dinner. You can try this eating habit. )
For most modern people, it may be easier to eat regularly four times a day. The time for eating is:
6: 00-8: 00 am-11:00-12: 00 am
16:00pm- 17:00pm- 18:00pm- 19:00pm
Among them, morning, noon and evening are the main food dinner time, and afternoon is snack time.
Although vegetarianism has brought considerable benefits to people's health, it also has its own limitations. Long-term strict vegetarian diet will not only lead to insufficient protein and fat intake, but also easily lead to malnutrition, anemia, beriberi, night blindness, tooth bleeding and other phenomena.
Therefore, from the perspective of nutritional balance, it is better to accept a non-strict vegetarian diet with eggs and milk than a strict vegetarian diet. Because eggs and milk can supplement the high-quality animal protein and animal fat needed by the human body and improve the nutritional composition of the human body. In particular, children, pregnant women, lactating women and the infirm should not adhere to a strict vegetarian diet.
In addition, vegetarians should exercise regularly, drink more water and get more sunshine, which can help the body use vegetarian nutrition more effectively.
