Eat wisely
Keep an eye on your eating habits, especially if you eat before your yoga practice. A quick snack can help you fuel up for your class if you're hungry. Many people choose to eat tiny amounts of nuts, fiber-rich fruits, or sports bars as a snack. Before your lesson, stay away from oily or garlicky foods. If you eat something 2-3 hours before class, you'll be uncomfortable in postures that put pressure on your stomach.
Eating wisely also means eating the right amount of food. Because everyone's bodies, metabolisms, and genetic composition vary, there is no one-size-fits-all amount of food or water. While you're eating, pay attention to how hungry or full you are. You want to fill yourself up to the point of contentment, but not to the point of discomfort. For yoga beginners, you can start eating wisely by following the below suggestions:
- Eat fresh fruits of many kinds, particularly those that are naturally sweet.
- Every day, drink 10 to 12 glasses of water. Half an hour before your meal, drink some water. Drinking one or two glasses of water first thing in the morning is beneficial to your health.
- Eat salad made up of all raw fresh veggies. Salads are made using fresh cucumber, tomato, carrots, beetroot, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, and other vegetables.
- Try herbal teas, lemon and/or lime water, molasses, maple syrup, natural, raw sugar
- Eat wheat, oats, and rice are examples of whole grains.
- Only use plant-based oils like olive oil, sunflower oil, and sesame oil were used.
- Cinnamon, cardamom, mint, basil, turmeric, ginger, cumin, and fennel are all sweet spices suggested.
