RIGHT NUTRITION FOR VIBRANT HEALTH

 


RIGHT NUTRITION FOR VIBRANT HEALTH

The Sattvic diet is a high fiber, low fat vegetarian diet that many yoga enthusiasts follow. In the practice of yoga, there are three types of foods that have varying qualities and health effects: sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic. The word SATTVIC means pure essence, with high intake of micronutrients which helps in balancing of Doshas, offering feelings of calmness, happiness, and mental clarity. Rajasic foods are described as overly stimulating. Tamasic foods are believed to increase weakness & laziness. Sattvic diets are rich in fresh, nutrient-dense foods, low in processed foods, including fruits, vegetables, sprouted whole grains, fresh fruit juices, legumes, nuts, seeds, and herbal teas.

MANNER OF CONSUMING FOOD/MEALS – which makes the Digestive Agni sharp. 

The best option is Squatting position on the floor.  Next better option is Sitting cross legged on the floor. The food platter may be about 6 inches above the ground. The Dining Table & Chair is a big Taboo. Get rid of this eye sore. Way out - Sit cross legged on the dining Chair itself & eat on the Table.

CONFLICTING FOODS ARE A SERIOUS TABOO

Milk is a wholesome & complete food by itself, when ingested alone. Limited quantities are recommended, specially at nighttime. When Milk is combined with other foods it becomes POISON. Milk & Yoghurt. Milk & Gud. Milk & Onion. Milk & Jackfruit, Sour fruits. Honey & Ghee. Urad/Vada, split dals & Yoghurt

GHEE/CLARIFIED BUTTER IS MEDICINE FOR THE BODY

Like the Divine Lord is hidden in HIS Creation, GHEE is hidden in milk. Through the introduction of Agni to milk, by the friction of churning, butter appears. This butter is then heated over fire and the most hidden part of milk, GHEE appears. The milk of cows is considered to possess the essence or sap of all plants, and ghee is the essence of milk. The ingestion of ghee is offering the finest of fuels into the fires of digestion (Agni). Ghee increases the sattvic qualities of life both in our self and in our environment. Ghee increases Dhi (intelligence), refines the Buddhi (intellect) and improves the Smrti (memory). Ghee also builds the aura, makes all the organs soft, and increases Rasa (the internal juices of the body). Ghee is Guru (heavy). It mildly increases the qualities of Kapha and decreases Pitta and Vata, which are light. In moderation, ghee balances all the doshas. 

 

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE IS BETTER & CHEAPER

I have been brought up in a medical environment by my doctor dad and highly educated mom, to respect the marvelous human body, take extra care about it, and above all never to misuse or abuse it. Therefore, I follow the preventive medicine route and avoid falling sick, instead of the normal route of carelessness and going in for the invasive and costly treatment of Allopathic Medicine, which was, incidentally, available in house, free of charge. Active lifestyle to include racket games, & swimming, has helped build me into a strong person. Mostly vegan diet and eating in moderation was the second factor contributing to our good health and strong immune systems. I still remember accompanying my parents on early morning brisk walks during my childhood days. 

 

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE - SUPERIOR CURE

The big reason being deep cultural roots, religious beliefs and mindsets, imposing self-control on the public and masses. Since the basic family unit is still intact in these not so developed countries, peer pressure works very effectively when young ones go astray on the high consumption and harmful routes of losing self-control. They are rescued by low-cost alternative medicine. The conventional Allopathic doctor – medicine system is supplemented by various other cheaper systems: Tai–chi, Reiki, Pranic healing, grandmothers’ recipes, kitchen spices and herbs, Homeopathy, Yunani medicine, Aruvedic medicine, Earology, Reflexology, Acupressure, Acupuncture, Mudra Techniques, Marma Techniques, Magnet Therapy, Yoga, Hydrotherapy, Auto urine therapy, Aroma Therapy, crystal and gemstones healing, to name a few of them. Most of them are self-administered, easy and dirt cheap to acquire. The underlying premise is self-control and limiting harmful inputs into your body, especially the toxic and dehydrating poisonous allopathic medicines with their positive compounding side effects. You treat your illnesses temporarily with strong doses of medicines which will eventually be recalled, after a couple of years, leaving you permanently damaged with many more side effects. Death is the only solution in site for most of us.

 

GARLIC & ONION ARE POTENT MEDICINES

We have been consuming these powerful items by using them as primary starting points in our daily cooking. It is much worse than consuming coke cola or any of the above drinks based upon crude medicines. Garlic cures many acute & chronic ailments, so why do we take it as food on a regular basis. The answer is ancient stone age beliefs handed down by our ignorant forefathers. What we eat becomes a part of us, therefore why do we want toxic Garlic to be a part of us as toxicity. A large part of our population like Jains, Brahma Kumaris, Radha swamis, & other learned people do not consume these potent foods ever. Think before you eat it next time.
