Yoga promotes eating a healthy, balanced diet prepared with care and intention. A yoga-aligned meal consists of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, dairy, and is eaten slowly while focusing on the food. Proper eating involves filling half the stomach with food, drinking modestly, chewing thoroughly, listening to body cues, and giving one's full attention to the meal without distractions. Mindful food preparation and consumption enhances digestion and absorption of nutrients.
