Over centuries yoga has developed a concept of a balanced food diet and an eating philosophy. These principles of good eating use powerful techniques which help in maintaining a strong and health body, a stress-free mind and a positive spirituality within this mixed up world.
Never has this yogic philosophy of a balanced food diet been felt more than today when 97% of all health disorders can be traced to a faulty nutrition and diet. It has been observed that (East) Indian civilizations suffer least from bowel problems, constipation, indigestion and other food related disorders such as obesity. Do you know why? Because the Indian philosophy of cooking and eating draws heavily from the yogic philosophy of eating!
Yoga does not dissect food into vitamins, minerals, protein etc. The yogic philosophy is that the true benefits of these ingredients can be had only when they are not isolated but as much in their natural form as possible. The key to true health is to have a balanced food diet. A balanced diet ensures that all the faculties of digestion work smoothly – absorption, assimilation and elimination. A balanced whole foods diet ensures a healthy person.
It is extremely important that all these 3 aspects work well together. If all these aspects work in harmony it is extremely unlikely that a person will suffer from health disorders and even obesity.
