Healthy Eating

Balanced, simple eating - the 'not too much, not too little' way.

Wisdom

Vedic wisdomNot too much, not too little
Yoga is hard for someone who overeats or starves, oversleeps or never rests. Moderation in food, sleep, work and play is what makes it work.
— Bhagavad Gita 6.16-17, in our words

Simple tips

Healthy Eating tipEat until you're about 80% full

Stopping a little before you feel full is an old Indian habit that matches the Gita's 'not too much'.

Healthy Eating tipWarm water in the morning

A glass of warm water after waking is a gentle, simple start to the day.

Healthy Eating tipHalf the plate vegetables

Fill half your plate with vegetables, a quarter with protein (dal, beans, paneer, eggs) and a quarter with grains.
