Food: Sattvic & Healthy

What we eat influences not only our physical vitality but also our emotional balance and mental clarity. In yogic science, yogic food is classified according to its energetic effects on the body and mind into three qualities: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.

Sattvic food is pure, light, and nutritious, promoting clarity, energy, and inner peace.

Food that causes activity or restlessness is called Rajasic food.
The type of food that we become sluggish or lethargic from is referred to as tamasic food.
