Mitahara: The Yogic Way of Eating
Out of all our daily activities, what we eat has the single largest impact on our overall health and well-being, and that of the planet as well. Every creature on the planet has a biologically adapted, or “correct,” diet for proper functionality and growth. Human beings are no different. Following ancient wisdom, and modern scientific research, the Ashram kitchen serves a wholefoods, plant-based, low-fat, vegan diet. We follow what is often referred to as the “80/10/10” diet. Getting 80% of our calories from carbohydrates, 10% from fat and 10% from protein is the ideal breakdown for optimal functionality of the human body and mind, based on our biological design. This diet has been clinically proven to cure heart disease and many other chronic illnesses and be key in their prevention.
All of that is wonderful, but how does it taste?! Just read the testimonies below to find out!
