================== ARTICLE START ==================

One of the essential things about yoga, together with the

positive attitude, is the diet. It is highly recommended to

perform your yoga session after about 2 hours from a main meal.

Many specialists agree that what we eat is reflected both in

our appearance, as well as in our health state. In other words,

it is important to mind the things we consume, in order to

prevent illnesses and discomforts.

However, the question related to what does healthy food mean,

remains a constant reason of inquiry for many people. According

to reliable studies, a very diversified diet represents the

ideal food for any human organism. However, fruits and

vegetables, containing fibers and vitamins should be a

permanent component of your daily meals. Furthermore,

everything that can be defined as natural food is recommended,

when it comes to preserving your state of well being.

Despite the fact that many people try to eat as little as

possible, as they believe food can produce them harm, you have

to keep in mind that your body needs nutrients, in order to

properly function. Nevertheless, do not exaggerate when eating,

even if you are consuming healthy food, because it will not have

the same beneficial effect on you. Try to stop eating once you

are not hungry anymore, or, even better, stop before reaching

the full saturation state. By doing this, you will discover

that the state of fatigue, which we sometimes experience after

eating, is considerably diminished, while your energy level

goes up substantially.

Another issue related to eating is how often should a healthy

person eat? Should we have three meals a day? Should we avoid

having dinner, in order to prevent becoming overweight, because

we do not move sufficiently during the night? Or is it better

not to have lunch, so that you do not have to deal, in the

middle of the day, with the unpleasant sensation of fatigue,

which we experience after serving a consistent meal? Well, the

right answer to all these questions would be to eat whenever

you are hungry, as your body needs to be fed in order to

function at the standards you desire, but, nevertheless, pay

attention to what and how much you are eating.

More than a simple energy source, food can be a way of

purifying one's body and soul, which is why, together with the

variety of exercises, yoga trainers encourage the practitioners

to keep a wise diet, based mainly on natural food. This way,

their body is protected from the danger of contracting toxins

and it is prepared, at the same time, to find the

synchronization with the soul and mind, which is actually one

of the main goals of yoga practices.

As a final remark, when carrying out constant yoga practices it

is important, in order to reach your goals, to meditate both on

what you are doing to your own body, as a direct consequence of

the food you are eating, and to what level you respond to your

soul's and mind's needs.
