Watch how and when you eat
Yoga and ayurveda teacher Amrit Raj gives advice on how and when you must eat your food.In general,eat your food with relish for best results,he says


First and foremost,eat to live,but dont live to eat.Second,eat food that is beneficial and last,eat in moderate quantities.There are several dos and donts formulated about food by ancient sages that are useful to abide by.For instance,never eat your food in ahurry or when you are in a disturbed state of mind.Eat when you have regained your peace of mind when you are calm.
Always wash your hands before sitting down to eat.Take your meal in a clean,well-ventilated and welllighted dining area.There are also rules for how much you should eat as well.Fill half your stomach with solids,a quarter of your stomach with water and liquids and keep a quarter empty for air and the digestive process.
Ayogi or committed yoga practitioner takes only one full meal a day.He begins his day with a light breakfast,and this is the best formula for living a healthy and hearty life.A person who eats two full meals a day might live mostly to eat and will suffer from illnesses from time to time.
Aperson who greedily eats more than twice will definitely be ill,and in yoga and ayurveda,he will be called a r o g e eor a sick person.Such a person is gluttonous and always ill.
You should also watch how you eat it shouldnt be either too fast or too slow.Eating slowly leads to excessive consumption and eating fast is not good for the digestive process.
There are other guidelines too.Dont do yoga and other exercises immediately after taking food.It is better,therefore,to do yogic exercises early in the morning or in the evening when the stomach is empty.After you have finished your exercises,take food after one hour.Dont go to bed immediately after your supper either.Wait for an hour after food before you retire to bed.
