Sattvic Food – This is the purest of foods ? and the perfect Yogi Diet to follow. It is nourishing to the body and mind, resulting in a peacefeul state. A sattvic diet will lead to pure, true health. Sattvic foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, wholegrains, legumes, sprouts, milk, butter and cheese, honey and herbal teas. (all should be organic and NOT tinned or frozen)
Rajasic Food – These foods are hot, bitter, sour, dry or salty. Too much of these foods will over stimulate the body, exciting the passions ? resulting in one feeling restless and uncomfortable. Rajasic foods include strong and hot herbs and spices, stimulants such as tea and coffee, fish, eggs and salt.
