Ayurveda advise a sattvic, which is a vegetarian diet, consisting of natural food items. According to yogic dietetics, natural food items are easy to digest and assimilate. Yogic diet is a combination of raw food and proper fasting routine. Good raw food, such as cucumber, radish, carrots, tomatoes, sprouts, together with spices like ginger, cayenne, cinnamon and basil provide energy to the mind and the body. Taking regular yogic diet and performing asanas, pranayama and meditation contribute to the well-being of our body and mind. For preparation of yogic foods, steaming is considered to be the best method.
