- A healthy diet and lifestyle are important for maintaining normal health and treating diseases. Personal preferences should also be considered when determining a healthy diet.
- Ayurveda and yogic texts provide guidance on foods to include in a sattvic or yogic diet that nourish the body and mind. Such diets emphasize fresh and natural whole foods while avoiding foods that are overly stimulating, stale, or difficult to digest.
- Moderation is key, as overeating can interfere with yoga practice and spiritual progress. The yogic diet aims to nourish the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of a person.
