Q
Discuss the significance of a Yogic diet in the modern world and how do you feel this knowledge may change your approach to your diet and lifestyle?
A
Āyurveda recognises that food is the best medicine as it provide Prāṇa, particularly food of the best quality in its most natural form. The rule of thumb is if nature did not create it do not consume it!
There two concepts that underpin the foundation of Āyurveda and they are that “like increases like, the opposite brings balance.”
A holistic approach is applied in Āyurveda, and food is always considered the best medicine as it provide Prāna and sustains life, providing energy and vitality. The focus is to focus on consuming the best quality foods and to cook with love and appreciation
