YOGIS BELIEVE IN VEGETARIAN DIET: It is believed that yogis should eat a vegetarian diet. This is because animal protein contains too much uric acid and other toxins.

Before introducing the following meal, you are giving your body time to completely digest, absorb, and assimilate the nutrients. In yoga, two meals a day are referred to as “Bhogi,” which is Sanskrit for “one who enjoys eating.”

Eating once a day the yogic way involves following certain principles such as consuming sattvic (pure) foods, eating mindfully and slowly, and practicing gratitude for the food. It also emphasizes eating a balanced meal that includes all the essential nutrients and avoiding overeating.

And, as we mentioned above, many yoga teachings support eating only plant-based foods. While not harming others is part of most spiritual practices, the yogic concept of ahimsa also applies to all animals and the planet.
