5 Veggies You Should Be Eating

1. Onion
2. Garlic
3. Spinach
4. Cabbage
5. Sweet Potatoes

The traditional yogic texts do not recommend onion and garlic as both are rajastic and may disturb the mind in training. The goal of yoga is to still the mind... make it more sattvic... so that one may be able to direct its energy to a greater good.

Modern science, however, has attested to the many health benefits of onion and garlic.

A simple rule: Moderation... Mitahara.

If one is in training, attending a 200-hour intensive... living in an ashram for a couple of days or weeks... attending a meditation retreat... it would be beneficial to stick to a sattvic diet.

Off to the Sunday market at the Lung Center.

Ciao.
