You are what you eat!

Hello Comrades,
In this article, I am going to share some useful information about food. The food, which we eat determines our body and affects mind too. As Sadhguru says food is classified into three major categories in yoga.
  1. Positive Prana food
  2. Negative Prana food and 
  3. Zero Prana food.
  • We have to add more positive prana food to enhance our health. 
  • We must avoid negative prana food as it deteriorates our body and mind.
  • We should avoid zero prana food as well;because it doesn't carry anything good and it is taken only for taste.
Negative Prana food:
The negative prana food list includes,
  1. Garlic
  2. Onion
  3. Chilly
  4. Asafoetida
  5. Brinjal [egg plant]
  6. Coffee and Tea
  7. Other nervous stimulants and drugs
The above said seven food varieties are known as negative prana food. If we eat it, we lose our prana energy [life energy].

Zero prana food:
Zero prana food doesn't increase or decrease our prana energy. It is taken only for taste. It includes tomato, and potato. People who are affected by gastric trouble must avoid potato.If you take too much of zero prana food, it will make you lazy.


Positive prana food:
Positive prana food includes the following list.
Ash gourd: Ash gourd is the most important of all positive prana food. People, who tends to get cold often, can take ash gourd with pepper and honey.
Honey: It is similar to the chemical structure of human blood in a certain way. It is the best replacement for sugar. For people who suffer from anemia, honey is a good medicine.
Ground nut: When soaked in water for 6 to 8 hours, ground nut makes a wholesome food. For people who suffer from asthma, this is an excellent remedy. We can live well by taking only soaked groundnuts and fruits.
Coconut: It is a positive prana food. People who suffer from asthma should avoid coconut as it creates mucus.
Greens: Greens are good; however we have to cook and eat it.
Spices: Spices are rich in prana; however, it should be used in moderate levels. If used excessively, it deteriorates the spiritual circumstances.
Sugar: Instead of using white sugar, we can use Jaggery.When we buy jaggery, please make sure that it is not mixed with super phosphate. Palm sugar is really good of all.

Non-vegetarian food:
Non-vegetarian food is not suitable for the human body. It is not on the basis of compassion. When we see the structure of human being, vegetarian food suits well than non-vegetarian food. Now, even medical people accept this opinion. Non-vegetarian food not only affects the human body but also the mind. Now, scientists agree with this point.

Yoga practices and food:
If we take food which suits our body and practice certain yoga, we can maintain our health immensely. There should be enough gap between two meal. It is very very important. In yoga, it is 8 hours.

You should take the food, which your body prefers and should not take the food, which your mind or tongue prefers. If you don't keep your body in a good condition, it will trouble you in so many ways. So, please take food which increases your prana energy. If you make your body aware, you will easily find what to eat and what not to eat.

Shiva Shambo!
