TODAY'S LEARNINGSattvic Diet: The Way To Eat Like a Yogi

Have you ever noticed how the food you eat affects how you do yoga? Some foods, like those that cause bloating and other stomach problems, are clearly worse than others. It can also be intriguing to observe how certain meals affect the mind and your emotions in more subtle ways. Yoga's sister science, Ayurveda, tells us a lot about how different foods affect our physical health, mental health, and even spiritual power. Sattva is the pure quality of spiritual goodness and balance, according to Ayurveda. It shows up as knowledge, awareness, virtue, and joy. Sattvic foods help keep the body and mind clean. A sattvic diet is meant to help you develop a mind that is calm, clear, and kind.

Sattvic foods are soothing, filling, and help keep your mind calm and steady. They also help improve your mind and make you more empathetic. Sattvic foods are vegetarian and don't come from animals that were killed or hurt in any way. It's important that food is grown in a natural way and doesn't have any additives, preservatives, or fake tastes.

Most of the time, a sattvic diet includes:

• organic fruit and veggies that are fresh

• nuts and whole grains

• Beans and lentils, plant-based oils, and dairy goods like milk and butter.

• Honey, molasses, and spices like cinnamon, basil, coriander, ginger, and turmeric are examples of slightly sweet foods.

In addition to eating fresh, organic, and whole foods, a sattvic diet means that your home should be a calm and happy place to prepare food. When you prepare your food with awareness, care, and love, you send out energetic energy that are received by the food and then taken in by your body when you eat it. Your food will taste much better if you pay close attention to how you cut the veggies, grind the spices, and add ingredients to the dish you are making.

It's important to remember that the goal of a sattvic diet is to make the mind better. If you talk to an Ayurvedic practitioner, they might tell you to eat a certain way based on your dosha or an unbalance in your doshas. Ayurveda tells the difference between a sattvic diet and a rajasic diet and a tamasic diet. A rajasic diet is made up of foods that are spicy, salty, and sour in taste. A tamasic diet is made up of foods that are old, hot, oily, heavy, and are often canned or kept in some way. Parts of each of these meals may be suggested to help fix a doshic imbalance or a physical sickness. But as a general rule, Ayurveda says that people who are generally healthy and balanced should eat a sattvic diet.

TODAY'S POSITIVE NEWS 

When it became clear how bad the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria were, people came from all over the world and different political groups to help save lives. They brought their dogs with them.

Trained rescue dogs and their owners came from the US, Israel, El Salvador, Mexico, Qatar, South Korea, China, India, Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, and 17 EU countries to help pull people out from under the rubble of buildings.

As a thank you for their bravery, Turkish Airlines has given each dog a first-class place on the flight back to their homes.

A representative for the company told The Independent that it was "the least we could do to show our appreciation for these heroic dogs' sincere and heroic efforts."

YOGAPEDIADhanurasana (Bow Pose)

Benefits: Strengthens the back and abdominal muscles. Opens up the chest, neck, and shoulders. Alleviates stress and fatigue. How To: Lie on your stomach with your feet apart, in line with your hips, and your arms by the side of your body.

Fold your knees, take your hands backward, and hold your ankles.

Breathe in, lift your chest off the ground, and pull your legs up and towards the back.

Look straight ahead with a smile on your face.

Keep the pose stable while paying attention to your breath. Your body is now curved and as taut as a bow.

Continue to take long, deep breaths as you relax in this pose. But, bend only as far as your body permits you to. Do not overdo the stretch.

After 15 -20 seconds, as you exhale, gently bring your legs and chest to the ground. Release the ankles and relax.
