The yoga is the discipline which already more than three thousand years. She learns to unite reason and the body by means of certain exercises. Asanas (so in yoga the poses occupied during meditation are called) allow not only to normalize work of the organism, but also to change consciousness.
If you practice yoga, then have to know that healthy nutrition – one of its major conditions. If the person excessively loads the stomach, it leads not only to emergence of excess weight, but also to deterioration in health. Therefore the yoga learns not only to occupy the correct poses and to control breath, but also to competently consume food.
Heavy food overloads the stomach therefore performance of some asanas can be complicated. But it, of course, doesn't mean that you have to starve. Occupations yoga don't mean serious restrictions. There are only some recommendations which are desirable for carrying out. The last meal has to be at least in 3 hours prior to the occupations. Therefore it is the best of all to practice yoga early in the morning. After the training it is recommended not to eat about an hour.
It is after classes recommended to eat the food containing calcium and potassium in the large number. For example, banana with milk or vegetable fat cheese salad. It is necessary to include fish of low-fat grades in the daily diet and bean, these products are the protein source. It is desirable not to eat greasy food, fried, sharp. Try to refuse sauces (especially mayonnaise), caramel, fast food, snacks, pastries, chewing candies. These products practically don't give to the organism any useful substances. One of exercises of yoga says that the stomach has to be filled on two quarters with food, on one quarter drinks, and the last quarter has to remain blank for free release of gases in the course of digestion. Therefore get up because of the table with feeling of easy hunger. The main meal has to fall on time from 9 in the morning to 13 in the day. In these hours the digestive organs work best of all. The last meal has to be no later than 19 o'clock in the evening because later the human body is already tuned into rest. After a while after the beginning of occupations you can notice that your preferences in food changed. And it is absolutely normal, work of your organism was normalized. Many people note that they practically ceased to eat meat and salt. Therefore you shouldn't deal with the issue of food especially. Time will come, and you just won't want to eat junk food.
