PLANT BASED DIETS.

Recently done many studies are supporting plant based diets to lose weigh and improve longevity. Plant based diet can reverse and cure heart disease & many other diseases. Beside foods our life style, 30 minute walking or any exercises, our thoughts and family & friends support help us to live healthy & long life. HOLISTIC approach to live happy & healthy life.

PREVENTION is BETTER then CURE.....EVOLUTION is BETTER then REVOLUTION. 

Out of 8 limbs of Yoga ( Yoga means state of consciousness, it is not about physical fitness ) one of the important step is Ahara or Food we eat. Food is very essential step to purity our senses & mind. Physical fitness is another limb of Yoga.

Scriptures also described about type of foods we eat & it's effects on mind. Three kinds of food according to the three modes of material nature or consciousness. 

A. Foods dear to those in the mode of goodness increase the duration of life, purify one’s existence and give strength, health, happiness and satisfaction. Such foods are juicy, fatty, wholesome, and pleasing to the heart like Fruits, Vegetables, Milk products and Whole grains. Animal fat is also available in the form of milk & milk products like butter yogurt, cheese...etc.

B. Foods that are too bitter, too sour, salty, hot, pungent, dry and burning are dear to those in the mode of passion. Such foods cause distress, misery and disease.

C. Food that is stale, tasteless, decomposed and putrid, and food consisting of remnants and untouchable things is dear to those in the mode of darkness.

Former President Bill Clinton & Vice President Al Gore and many CEOs of big big companies have changed for good to be Vegetarian. Plant based diet help us and environment...it is Win....Win situation.

In modern fast running material world it is not possible to follow all above mention guidelines, we can try our best.
