A Diet for Yoga

I want to start this section by saying that by no means do you need to follow any particular diet when practicing yoga. That said I personally believe that your diet should be one that is healthy, energy promoting and vitality giving.

For me the purpose of practicing yoga is to strengthen my body, mind and spirit - I don’t think this can be achieved with a poor diet. It is widely known that eating certain foods can result in a host of negative outcomes such as:

- Energy spikes and subsequent crashes

- Fat gain

- Slowing of mental faculties

- Poor skin, hair and nails

- Irreparable damage to your internal organs

It is also known that eating the right foods can provide the opposite to every negative stated. With this in mind the diet I like to follow is one that promotes a healthy body, increased energy, rapid weight loss and an increase in intelligence.

I create my diet around whole foods and avoid manufactured produce, products and ingredients. By eating whole foods that haven’t been processed I am preventing toxins and additives from entering my body. This small step alone can change your life and I say that without exaggeration. Not only will you be more energized, lose weight and feel better, it has also been proven that you will live longer.

Think about that last sentence there. Simple changes to your diet can add to your lifespan.

Given that both meditation and yoga have also been linked to longevity of life you can start to imagine how potent mixing a proper diet with yoga can be.

As I said you don’t need to follow any diet but I believe if you follow (even roughly) the suggestions I make you will see accelerated results.

Eat These:

- Lean protein sources: chicken, beef etc.

- Oily fish: salmon, tilapia, tuna etc.

- Eggs

- Fruit and lots of it

- Extra virgin-olive oil

- Whole grains such as oats or brown rice (avoid white)

- Legumes: lentils, beans etc.

- Nuts: natural not salted or sweetened

- Green vegetables and lots of them

- Garlic, turmeric, ginger, cumin, paprika, pepper flakes etc.

- Natural Yoghurt
