Food habits to adapt along with yoga

So, what is the yogic food system that we must adopt along with practicing yoga?

  1. The Sattvic Diet: Satvic means pure. It includes foods that are best consumed in their purest forms like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. The main reason and the idea behind these types of foods is to keep the body light and satiate hunger without compromising on the body’s natural ability to be alert and conscious.
