Vedic food. Proper nutrition for health and longevity

Vedic food has a colossal influence on the body, the mental and spiritual abilities of man. Important as the right products, their preparation, and the time of eating. We will study the basic postulates on what the Vedic food is based, and also a lot of advice from O. Torsunov on how to eat to stay healthy and live a long life.

Consider first which special dietary regimes exist, and what the Vedas offer.

Truthfulness

"Prana" in the teaching of yoga means "energy", "life." Truthfulness means that a person literally eats air. To maintain his life, prana or vital force is needed, as well as the sun. After all, in Ayurveda, this heavenly body is the main source of prana.

Vegetarianism

This mode of eating implies the refusal to eat animal corpses. Do not eat fish, meat, poultry and even seafood. Some vegetarians refuse from milk and eggs. Also, vegan vegetarians who strictly follow their diet are differently related to honey. But mushrooms they refer to plant foods, despite the fact that from a scientific point of view, they stand out in a separate kingdom.

Raw Food

This system assumes a complete exclusion from the diet of dishes that have been subjected to heat treatment, that is, boiled, fried, smoked and others. The rationale for raw food is to preserve all the beneficial substances and trace elements in the products used.

Separate food

This principle is based on compatible and incompatible products. Separate food was developed by the doctor-naturologist Gelbert Sheltonom. The concept includes a table that determines the compatibility of certain products.

Vedic food

The basis of the system is vegetarianism. Food excludes from the diet not only any meat, eggs and fish, but also mushrooms, tea and coffee. However, it is assumed that both the choice of products and the way they are prepared. Food should be cooked in a good mood and with love. After all, if the food was prepared with hatred, anger and irritation, there would be no benefit from it for sure.

Breakfast

It is best if the first meal is until 8 am. A thick breakfast does not make sense, since with a weakened body it will only take away the strength and lead to illnesses. Since all the fire energy in the body is at the peak of activity from 8 to 9 o'clock in the morning, then by this time breakfast should be finished. Then the food will just begin to be digested at the right time. In the morning, food can be slightly sweetened. For this time of day, the following products are suitable:

• Fruit, berries;
• Cottage cheese with sour cream, kefir, condensed milk;
• Nuts;
• Honey, sugar and jam;
• Dried fruits, butter;
• dried apricots.

Breakfast and seasons

In summer, solar energy reaches the Earth most and affects a person. At this time, it is recommended to eat berries and fruits, honey, sugar, and from dairy - to drink fermented milk or yogurt.

In the autumn, when prana intensifies, berries, fruits and kefir is better to eat less. At this time, you can begin to eat more cheese, sour cream, condensed milk, as these products warm the body.

In the coldest season, only warming products are suitable. In addition to the above, dried fruits and nuts are recommended. Mint and anise for winter are not suitable, because they have a cooling effect.

In the spring, also warming foods are eaten, but along with them, gradually add to the diet berries, fruits.

It turns out that time and nutrition are interdependent according to the Vedas. If breakfast before 6 am, then the diet can be approximately the same for any time of year. It is condensed milk, nuts, dates and raisins, other dried fruits, butter.

Separately, we should say about fresh milk, but we'll stop on it a little later.

Food is digested differently depending on the season. When a person eats in the goodness of sweetness during the day, he gains happiness. However, their use in the evening leads to a decrease in tone and even metabolic disorders. The organism is overexcited and falls asleep only with great difficulty. This can be one of the causes of the emergence of chronic diseases. Drunk the same at night kefir can be used for a short time as a remedy. However, with constant use, it also overexcites the body and accelerates the removal of nutrients from it. It is best to use this product in the daytime.

Correct nutrition Vedic for the morning time will enable a person to get a large charge of positive energy for the entire subsequent day. After all, happiness directly depends, in part, on the organization of its time and regime in the morning.

Dinner

The lunch time for the Vedas can be from 10 am to 2 pm. When the sun is at its zenith, the organism is the best period for digestion. If at this time to eat, then by 13 o'clock the food will start to digest well.

The most suitable food during lunch is vegetables that can be cooked, soups, cereals in milk, seasonings and snacks. Beans and grains can also be used. They are good for activating the activity of the brain. However, these cultures should be eaten from 10 am to 1 pm, because at other times they, on the contrary, will only prevent thinking and feeling, reducing attention and even will power. And if there are grains in the evening, they can become the cause of the formation of phosphate stones in the kidneys.

Features of nutrition and human activity

If you go to bed when food is left underprocessed, toxins will be released all night in the digestive tract. In the morning, a huge dose of them will be absorbed with blood, after which the process of destruction of the body will start. The most negative effect in this case is on the nervous system. As a result, a person wakes up feeling broken, weak and tired.

Many believe that they just did not sleep at night. Therefore, continue to lie in bed yet, have breakfast later, have dinner after 14 hours.

But the Vedic food can change the morning state. When you want a little in the first hours after sleep, you can have breakfast quite a bit and do things. Then comes the lunch time, when you can eat as much food as the body needs. It is at this time that the digestive process is as active as possible. Therefore, even if a lot of food is eaten, then the heaviness in the stomach and fatigue will not be felt. Then a long rest after dinner will not be needed at all.

If breakfast was cereal in the morning, you will get a qualitatively different picture. Even after two plentiful lunches, one already wants to eat well for supper. Then the fat will be deposited. To avoid this, especially Vedic food for women at lunchtime should be carried out according to the following recommendations:

1. If desired, you can drink warm liquid at least half an hour before meals.
2. For lunch, there is a vegetable salad that activates the work of the gastrointestinal system. However, excessive use of it can cause less effective digestion.
3. A good choice for this time of the day are stewed vegetable dishes, which are jammed with bread.
4. Soups further increase digestive activity, but they should not be too liquid.
5. Kashi is good for eating with spicy seasonings.
6. At the very end you can afford a few sweets.

It is better to drink water before and after eating, after waiting at least half an hour, and even better an hour. But if you really want a liquid during a meal, then this can also be afforded.
After eating, the working capacity of the body is somewhat reduced, and this is understandable. Whatever the constitution of the body and nutrition, it is best at this time to walk in the fresh air or read a simple article for perception.

It is necessary to pay special attention to the symptoms, which say that digestion in humans is bad. So, this can be confidently judged if:

• The urge to empty the intestine appears two hours after eating;
• There is a decrease in activity, working capacity, drowsiness is observed within 2 hours after lunch;
• There is a strong weakness, nausea and vomiting reflex (which indicates poisoning);
• Aversion to food or foods (the latter may mean that they do not suit you);
• The appearance of irritability, unpleasant sensations in the mouth and abdomen, flatulence, gases and heaviness in the intestine;
• Increase in temperature, dizziness, weakness, acute pain, vomiting and even panic fear are signs of serious poisoning.

Thus, it can be concluded that the Vedic regime of the day and nutrition can improve health, increase overall performance and give cheerfulness for the rest of the day.

Dinner

In the evening, it's best to eat stewed vegetables with spices and salt, nuts and butter. Also shown at this time is buckwheat. Vegetables and nuts will give a person peace, relieve mental stress and activate the activity of hormones, calming nerves.

It is desirable that the dinner time is not later than 18 hours, since it is then increases the activity of the organism, as the sun hides behind the horizon. Food should be eaten by this time. However, if it so happened that returning home was late and hunger will not give you sleep, you can satisfy it with vegetables with nuts.

Vedic culinary recipes for dinner usually include those vegetables that grow above the ground. These are courgettes, cucumbers, squash and cabbage. You can also add greens to the food. But the tomato for dinner is better to refuse. Potatoes are also better to eat less.

From sour-milk products, fruits and cereals is better to give up completely, as they will interfere with sleep, overexciting the body. And if there are beans and grains at this time, then there is a big risk of accumulation of phosphate stones in the gallbladder and kidneys.

For 1-2 hours before bedtime, it is good to drink a little boiled fresh milk, which can also be slightly sweetened.

Milk

It is interesting that Vedic food for children and adults involves the use of milk. This product has tremendous power, it can be drunk to adults only until six in the morning and after six in the evening. Cow's milk contains the blessed power of the moon. Therefore, using it at such a time, you enter into harmony with this heavenly body. Then the dream becomes deeper. Milk is drunk hot, adding a little fennel or green cardamom. In the morning before 6 o'clock in it it is possible to add and some sugar or honey.

If there is not enough optimism in life, it is best to drink milk in the morning. And if, on the contrary, there is a strong overstrain, it is better to drink it at night.

If it is decided to switch to Vedic food, the recipes should be studied and picked up in advance. Do not neglect milk, as it can have a huge healing effect on the human mind.

To be healthy, you need to eat foods on time. This applies to both milk and other products.
