The document discusses yogic nutrition principles from ancient Indian texts like the Bhagavad Gita. It describes the three types of foods - sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic - based on their effect on the mind and body. Sattvic foods like fruits and vegetables promote health, while rajasic foods like meat or stimulants agitate the mind. Tamasic foods like stale food cause lethargy. Yogic nutrition focuses on a sattvic diet for mental clarity and spiritual well-being. The mentality one brings to food is also important for proper digestion and nourishment.

Yoga therapy has to be integrated to work at all levels of being, i.e. physical, mental, emotional as well as spiritual. All aspect of yoga is to be included to get wholesome effect of health and wellness.

Modern medical advancements provide the rationale for the integration of various traditional healing techniques including Yoga to promote healing, health, and longevity. It is imperative that advances in medicine include the wholistic approach of Yoga to face the current challenges in health care. The antiquity of Yoga must be united with the innovations of modern medicine to improve quality of life throughout the world.
Lifestyle is the way people live and this has immense influence on the status of health or disease. Since one’s lifestyle is developed early in life, it is advisable to cultivate healthy lifestyle in early childhood. Many factors determine one’s lifestyle. Economic status determines incidence of under-nutrition in poor and obesity in the rich. Cultural values of the society dictate the dietary preferences in the population. Sedentary life is a major factor for coronary artery disease while personal habits like smoking and alcoholism determine the incidence of heart disease and cirrhosis of liver. Exercise, healthy diet and rest and relaxation are important components of lifestyle.
Yoga is the most perfect lifestyle module as it is comprehensive and holistic in its nature. Yogic lifestyle including diet, attitudes and various techniques help strengthen and develop positive health thus enabling us to withstand stress better. This Yogic “health insurance” is achieved by normalizing the perception of stress, optimizing the reaction to it and by releasing the pent up stress effectively through various Yogic practices. Yoga is a wholistic and integral science of life dealing with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health of the individual and society.
It is well established that stress weakens our immune system. Scientific research in recent times has showed that the physiological, psychological and biochemical effects of Yoga are of an anti-stress nature. Mechanisms postulated included the restoration of autonomic balance as well as an improvement in restorative, regenerative and rehabilitative capacities of the individual. A healthy inner sense of well being produced by a life of Yoga percolates down through the different levels of our existence from the higher to the lower producing health and wellbeing of a holistic nature.

Nutrition is the science that interprets the nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion.
It is what heals us, as wholesome food is essential to make yoga and any other fitness plan work much more effectively.
A proper diet that includes nutritious food delivers the optimal amounts of nutrients to your body when you are engaged in yoga.
Your body can’t produce all those nutrients on its own, and therefore it’s important to consume good food that supports a yogic lifestyle and to refine and solidify the results you want to achieve.
To reach optimal energy levels. You may find some modern-day yoga practitioners a little worn out, and tired and the reason is they train like yogis, but they don’t eat like them.
When you perform yoga and fill your daily diet with proper nutrients to compliment the physical engagement, not only will you notice a significant improvement in performance, but, it will also help to fight the effects of ageing.

Tridosha: The Science Of Ayurveda and the three doshas (vata, pitta, kapha)
Introduction:
The ancient science of Ayurveda is the oldest known form of health care in the world. Often called the
mother of all healing, it originated in India some 5000 or more years ago.
Ayurveda defines disease as the natural end result of living out of harmony with one’s constitution. Our
constitution is the inherent balance of energies within our bodies and our minds. It describes who you are
on the most fundamental level. This unique balance of energy determines everything from our bone
structure to our predisposition toward certain health challenges. Our constitution defines what we are
naturally attracted to as well as what repels us. It defines what is in harmony with our nature and what will
cause us to move out of balance and experience sickness and disease. Because we all have a different
balance of energy, Ayurveda shows that the path to optimal health is different for each person depending
upon their constitution.
Vata
The vata dosha is said to be made up of the air and ether elements. This means that it has qualities which
are similar to these elements. Vata is very much like the wind--it is light, cool, dry and mobile. In the body,
those people with a vata nature experience more of these qualities. Their bodies tend to be light, their
bones thin, and their skin and hair dry. They often move and speak quickly. When out of balance, they may
lose weight, become constipated and have weakness in their immune and nervous systems
These qualities also reflect in their personality. Those with a vata nature tend to be talkative, enthusiastic,
creative, flexible, and energetic. Yet, when out of balance they may also become easily confused and
overwhelmed, have difficulty focusing and making decisions and have trouble sleeping. This becomes more
apparent when they are under stress. Emotionally they are challenged by cool emotions like worry, fear,
and anxiety.
In order to bring balance to vata, programs are designed which emphasize the opposing qualities of
warmth, heaviness (nourishment), moistness, and stability. In the diet, this is reflected in the consumption
of cooked grains such as rice and cooked vegetables, as well as the intake of warm milk with spices.
Pungent herbs like ginger which increase internal heat and nourishing herbs like ashwagandha bring
balance to Vata. Ayurvedic programs include not only herbs and diet but also color and aroma therapies,
detoxification, yoga, and meditation.
Pitta dosha
The pitta dosha is said to be made up of the fire and water elements. Fire is more predominant, and those
people with a predominant pitta nature have many of the qualities of fire within them. Pitta tends to hot,
sharp, and penetrating. It is also somewhat volatile and oily. The oily nature of Pitta is related to the
secondary component of water. People with a Pitta nature reflect these qualities. They tend to feel warm
and have somewhat oily skin, penetrati

Yoga and Ayurveda have long been linked together as two complimentary systems of human development. They grew up organically intertwined through their common ancient Vedic roots – the legacy of the legendary Himalayan rishis who understood the laws of the universe and the inner process of cosmogenesis that holds the keys to all transformations. The two systems have maintained a long and intimate history, interacting upon and enhancing one another up to the present day. Ayurveda is the “second phase” of interest in Yoga, which builds upon the first phase of interest in Yoga as an exercise system.
Sattvic Diet - yoga teacher training course project work karuna yoga vidya pe...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
Abstract
Asana practice is often seen as the main element of yoga although it is only one part of all system. Yoga class may give the toned body but as always, optimal health is just as much about what is on the inside.
To function optimally in life, we have to take care not just of the physical body but also internal functioning and mental and spiritual state. All is deeply connected between each other.
Introduction
The word “Sattvic,” or “Sattvikam”, appears in many Hindu texts on Yoga, and is translated to “in the mode of goodness” in English. In the Srimad Bhagavad-gita’s Chapter 17, Text 7, it states that each food is placed into one of three categories, which coincide with the three modes of material nature: goodness (Sattva), passion (Rajas), and darkness (Tamas). In the following three texts (verses) it states the following: “Foods in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one's existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such nourishing foods are sweet, juicy, fattening, and palatable. Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, pungent, dry and hot, are liked by people in the modes of passion. Such foods cause pain, distress, and disease. Food cooked more than three hours before being eaten, which is tasteless, stale, putrid, decomposed and unclean, is food liked by people in the mode of ignorance.”
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient oriental discipline that emerged from mystical and philosophical concepts. Etymologically, yoga means to “add”, “join”, “unite” or “attach” (Sanskrit yoga) where the body (anga), mind (chitta), emotions and the soul (atma or atman).
Yoga is unification of mind through awareness during the practice, body through asanas and spirit through meditation and breath.
Yoga is a journey inward for self-discovery to bring harmony in all areas of life through body-mind connection. All Yogis can gain many benefits of yoga on and off the mat. Yoga is much more than twisting and bending body…
Definition of Yoga
Sage Patanjali defined Yoga as “To still the movement of the mind is Yoga”.
Patanjali Yoga Sutras define the eight limbs of Raja Yoga as:
1. Yamas: Guidelines for external discipline
2. Niyamas: Guidelines (duties) for internaldiscipline
3. Asanas: The practice of physical postures
4. Pranayama: The practice of breathing techniques to control prana (the vital force)
We believe that everything can be fixed from natural diet and substances, the use of the synthetic substances like allopathic and other measures should only be taken in emergencies.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

4. “Eating is a magic rite during which the
food becomes transformed into health,
force, love, light. While you eat… think
of … food with love, for that will make it
open its treasures to you.” [Living Yoga: A
Comprehensive Guide for Daily Life]
5. “The Bhagavad Gita
tells us that if the
cook who prepares
the food is not of a
loving, calm nature,
the food won’t
benefit you –
spiritually, mentally,
or physically.”
7. What are “yogic foods”?
One verse in the Bhagavad Gita tells us they are
“foods that promote life, mental strength,
vitality, cheerfulness, and a loving nature”
(Chapter 17, verse 8).
8. The Bhagavad Gita is a repository of wise
words, but what makes its nutrition philosophy
a coherent whole is the concept of the three
gunas, or the qualities of nature, mentioned
throughout.
“It is written in our scriptures that the gunas are
the three attributes of nature that reflect
temperament, or inner life.”
9. Three Types of Food – and
qualities – associated with the
Tri-Gunas
10. PURITY - SATTVA
Foods that promote life, lucidity, strength,
health, happiness, and satisfaction, and that
are savory, rich in oil, firm, and heart-
gladdening are agreeable to the sattva-natured
person.
11. The Yogic nutrition or diet is based on pure, sattvic
foods.
Sattvic foods calm the mind and sharpen the intellect.
These are pure, wholesome, and naturally delicious,
without preservatives or artificial flavorings.
They include fresh and dried fruits and berries, pure
fruit juices, raw or lightly cooked vegetables, salads,
grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole-grain breads,
honey, fresh herbs, herbal teas, and dairy products
such as milk and butter.
12. A sattvic diet is easily digested and supplies maximum
energy, increasing vitality, strength, and endurance.
It will help eliminate fatigue, even for those who
undertake strenuous and difficult work.
Yogis believe that people’s food preferences reflect
their level of mental purity and that these preferences
alter as they develop spiritually.
13. A sattvic diet brings purity
and calmness to the
mind, and is both
soothing and nourishing
to the body. It promotes
cheerfulness, serenity
and mental clarity, and
helps maintain mental
poise and nervous
equilibrium throughout
the day.
14. HYPERACTIVITY - RAJAS
Foods that are pungent, sour, salty, spicy, sharp,
harsh, and burning are covered by the rajas-
natured person.
15. Yogic nutrition avoids substances that are
overstimulating, or rajasic. Onions, garlic, coffee,
tea, and tobacco are rajasic, as are heavily spiced and
salted items, and many fast foods and snacks.
Refined sugar, soft drinks, and chocolate are rajsic.
Rajasic foods arouse animal passions, bring a restless
state of mind, and make the person overactive.
16. Rajasic foods destroy the mind/body balance that is
essential for happiness.
Rajasic foods overstimulate the body and mind, cause
physical and mental stress, and encourage circulatory
and nervous disorders.
17. “The foods that are bitter,
sour, saline, excessively
hot, pungent, dry, and
burning, are liked by the
rajasic and are
productive of pain,
grief, and disease.”
18. INERTIA - TAMAS
That which is spoiled, tasteless, putrid, stale, left
over, and unclean is food agreeable to the
tamas-natured person.
19. Tamasic substances are avoided in the Yogic diet
because they produce feelings of heaviness and
lethargy.
Meat, fish, eggs, drugs, and alcohol are tamasic, as are
overcooked and packaged foods.
Other tamasic items include those that have been
fermented, burned, fried, barbecued, or reheated
many times, as well as stale products or those
containing preservatives. Mushrooms are considered
tamasic, since they grow in the dark.
20. A tamasic diet benefits neither body nor mind. It makes
a person dull and lazy, lacking in high ideals, purpose
and motivation.
Such individuals tend to suffer from chronic ailments
and from depression.
Overeating is tamasic.
21. “That food which is stale,
tasteless,
putrid, rotten,
and impure refuse,
is the food
liked by the tamasic.”
22. HIGHLIGHTS:
It is the sattva, or sattvic food, that constitute the yogic
diet.
To the Western mind, it is lacto-vegetarian, consisting
mainly of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and
peas, nuts and seeds, and daily products, particularly
milk and yogurt.
Honey, pure water, and ghee (Indian clarified butter) are
also believed to promote sattva aspect.
Eggs, which are perceived as rajasic, are avoided;
because milk and yogurt are considered easy to
digest, they are included.
23. As a contrast, rajas, or rajasic, stimulating foods, such
as coffee, chili peppers, garlic, and onions, are said to
agitate and stimulate the mind and body.
Tamas, the tamasic category, includes old or stale food,
foods that are past their time that might have been in
the pantry or refrigerator for a while, such as old
crackers or frozen meat or poultry. According to the
Bhagavad Gita, these foods are believed to promote
laziness, allergies, and fatigue.
25. Along with creating food with loving energy, and
recognizing that different foods promote different
emotional states, the sattvic diet also places much
importance on other of its mind-body benefits.
“Because sattvic nutrition is natural and easily digested,
you get only the nutrients that help the body… and
the soul. When we take sattvic food, we feel less
anger, greed, or jealousy – all these [negative] things
the mind creates.”
26. What happens when we eat rajasic or tamasic foods?
The contention is that if we eat spicy, rajasic food, or
tamasic food such as meat, fish, or poultry, digestion
is more difficult. Then toxins have more of an
opportunity to enter the bloodstream – not unlike the
minerals from fruit that go inside the body, but now
there are toxins. Organs can be affected by these
impurities circulating in the blood. And if they are,
we become ill.
27. With a focus on the digestive process, the
Bhagavad Gita also suggests when to eat.
“One should eat only when one is hungry,
not when one thinks one should.”
28. Eating when you’re not hungry places a strain on the
digestive system; in turn, this creates two problems:
First, if you overeat you can stretch the stomach, and
digestive enzymes then won’t have room to digest the
food with the result that the brain and heart get less
nourishment.
Second, overeating impairs circulation, increasing the
odds of becoming sleepy afterward.
29. The mentality we bring to
food is yet another
important component for
creating spiritual and
physical well-being.
Try never to sit down to a
meal without being
thankful. If we don’t
give respect to the food
we are eating, it won’t
heal and nurture us.
30. One unique way to honor and respect food is by savoring its
colors. First, eat with your eyes. Food and natural colors
should be arranged beautifully, so the eyes appreciate first.
Then the nose smells the food and digestion has already
begun.
31. Respect is given in part, by concentrating on the food:
seeing it, then eating, chewing, and grinding it,
making sure it’s ready to be swallowed and put into
the stomach.
33. Linking nutrient-dense,
nourishing foods such as
fresh fruits and vegetables,
whole grains, legumes, nuts,
and seeds to spiritual well-
being is based on the
centuries-old practice of
yogis using their own bodies
and minds as laboratories.
Over time, as their intuition,
perceptions, and sensitivity
became finely honed, they
were able to detect in their
own bodies energetic states
of which others were
unconscious.
34. Yogis found that certain foods would tend to
deposit toxins in the body, making it difficult
to be still, to sit quietly and meditate, or to
maintain certain poses.
These ancient seers saw the sattvic, rajasic, or
tamasic nature of food as based on its
vibrational quality (prana). Vibrational quality
refers to the energy of the food. How powerful
is that energy? Is it still life-giving?
35. For example: If you pick a peach fruit from a tree, it has a certain
quality (prana), a certain energy within. If you take the same
peach and cook or bake it, then its vibrational quality changes;
it no longer has the same vitality.
36. For a yogi, the vitality and energy in food is important,
especially when you consider the diet’s main purpose,
which is to keep the body free from toxins and the
mind quiet.
Within the framework of sattvic nutrition, the
vibrational qualities or the prana of food take
on supreme importance.
37. Sattvic food is believed to nurture and heal, to
sustain life. In contrast, tamasic or rajasic food
may offer inadequate energy, therefore taking
– rather than giving – life-sustaining energy.
While information about vitamins and minerals,
etc., is the core of Western nutrition,
transformation is the essence of India’s yogic-
based nutrition philosophy.
38. Like all yoga practices, the
sattvic diet is designed
to keep the mind
tranquil. For “only in a
state of serenity,” the
yogis tell us, “can our
unique spirit emerge.”
Indeed, by encouraging
us to linger in that
limitless space between
thought and breath, the
yogic diet holds the
promise of spiritual,
physical, and emotional
well-being.
40. Consciousness While Eating
Always have love and respect for your food.
The consciousness, or mentality, we bring to food may be the
most important ingredient in the meal. Think positive thoughts
of peace and love when preparing food. Such a consciousness
may be transferred into the food, enhancing digestion, and
empowering it with the ability to nourish both mind-body and
soul.
Do not eat when angry.
Negative thoughts are believed to create poisons that eventually
are secreted by the glands. Like vitamins and minerals in life-
giving foods foods, negative, angry thoughts may be
metabolized, too, eventually producing toxins. Also, anger or
stress may limit the production of digestive enzymes in our
stomach, making it difficult for food to be adequately digested.
41. Take meals in a relaxed frame of mind.
A calm state of mind is ideal for preparing the body to receive
nourishment. During meals, silence or warm conversation
among family members or friends can create balanced, loving
energy, enhancing digestion and, ultimately, food’s ability to
nourish. Avoid eating when rushed.
Do not be a slave to any diet theory.
Maintaining a mind that is tranquil and peaceful, pursuing union
with the Absolute, is the purpose of all yoga. Following rigid
dietary rules is more likely to produce the opposite: stress,
anxiety, worry, and doubt. Like the yogis, use your own
experience and intuition to create your own ideal eating style.
42. Remember the Absolute, the life-force, the in-
dweller of all foods
Brahman is the Sanskrit word that attempts to describe
the indescribable; “a supreme, blissful consciousness”
only hints at its meaning. Such a noble frame of
minds is believed to make all but poisonous food
healing, sattvic, and healthful.
43. What to Eat
Choose foods that promote a balanced state.
To pursue physical and psycho-spiritual well-being,
choose fresh, whole foods in their natural state as often as
possible. Eat a natural diet that includes lots of fresh fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
Avoid fried food.
Centuries before knowledge of health-robbing free-radicals and
fear of fat, yogis believed that fried food caused injury to the
body. They were right. We now know that too much fat can
impair the immune system, and is linked with heart disease
and other ailments. Another reason to avoid fried food: it’s
considered rajasic and therefore hinders spirituality.
44. Select perfectly ripe fruit; avoid unripe fruits.
Fruit that hasn’t matured hasn’t reached its nutritional
peak. Not only is it difficult for your body to digest
and assimilate, you’ll also be cheating yourself
nutritionally.
Avoid drinking coffee or tea, especially at night.
Coffee and tea contain caffeine, making them
stimulating and rajasic. To maintain a serene state of
mind – and sleep deeply – avoid beverages laced with
caffeine.
45. Liquids.
Do not drink water or other liquids during, just
before, or after meals. Though it is an unpopular idea
in the West, liquids mixed with food are believed to
dilute gastric juices, causing indigestion. The ideal:
Drink liquids an hour or two before or after eating
solid food. (Note: If you experience thirst while eating,
moisten food with saliva. Chew food until solids becomes
liquefied in your mouth.)
46. When to Eat
Beware of false hunger.
Eat only when you are truly hungry. A sensation of hunger is the
body’s built-in-clock, telling you it’s time to eat. If you “wait
out” the desire to eat, and it leaves, then you’re probably not
really hungry. More likely, you’re responding to eating cues or
a habitual eating pattern. When you’re truly hungry, the desire
to eat will not go away.
Consume larger meals earlier in the day; eat lightly in the
evening.
Not only do we need – and use more efficiently – food energy
eaten earlier in the day, but heavy evening meals are likely to
cause weight gain. Why? The body’s metabolism, including
digestion, slows down as the day progresses, even more so as
we sleep. Try to make lunch the calorie-dense meal.
47. Avoid eating between meals or late at night.
When you are truly hungry, meaning you have a good appetite,
it’s likely your stomach is “empty.” Eating between meals or
before going to sleep increases the odds that food from a prior
meal hasn’t been completely digested. The result: Food may
ferment, become acidic, or cause gas and bloating. To avoid
this, do not eat at least two hours after a meal or before going
to sleep.
48. How to Eat
Chew food thoroughly.
The digestion of food begins in your mouth, when it mixes with
enzymes in your saliva. Chew each mouthful slowly and
thoroughly, until it is almost liquefied. Avoid gulping down
food; instead, swallow it slowly.
Stop eating when three-quarters of the stomach is full.
Ancient scriptures tell us that stomach is about as large as what
you can hold in your two hands; perhaps about the size of your
fist. The belief: filling your stomach about three-quarters
during a meal leaves enough room for digestive enzymes to
break down food. Overeating sattvic foods can make them
tamasic.
49. Avoid eating foods you do not enjoy – or overeating food you
especially like. The mentality you bring to food is believed to
influence the mind-body. Eating food you like increases the
odds of imbuing it with positive, loving energy; food you do
not enjoy is more likely to produce negative, “life-taking”
vibrations. But even with sattvic foods you enjoy, moderation
and balance are the keys.
Abandon too many food mixtures or combinations.
Yogis place much importance on the stomach’s digestive
capacity, and eating according to what it can easily metabolize.
They believe it is difficult for the body’s digestive juices to
digest complex food combinations. Eat only four or five kinds
of food at any one meal.
