Ayurveda, the sister science of Yoga, teaches that food is medicine. What we eat directly impacts our physical health, mental state, and spiritual capacity.
The Sattvic Diet
Yogic nutrition centers around Sattvic foods: fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, ghee, and mild spices like turmeric and ginger.
Eating for Your Dosha
Vata
Warm, cooked, grounding foods like soups and root vegetables.
Pitta
Cooling foods like salads, sweet fruits, and coconut water.
Kapha
Light, warm, and spicy foods that stimulate digestion.
Mindful Eating
It's not just what you eat, but how. Eat in a calm environment, chew thoroughly, and avoid overeating.
