Yoga and the Vegan Diet: A match for superior health.
By: Foras Aje
Research has shown that the vegan diet may perhaps be the
healthiest dietetic choice for health. Reports are also showing
that Yoga as a choice (exclusively or partly) as a choice for
exercise has several physical and mental benefits. Imagine how both
could work together for health.
Personally, I discovered and converted to the raw lifestyle in an
effort to gain the peak of health, endurance and healing that I
desired. Well, being radical, I may have jumped into too quick but
now I would call myself 80% raw as most days I eat once during
weekdays and twice on weekends with fruits in the week evenings and
weekend afternoons and PROPERLY cooked veggies on weekend
nights.
For Exercise, I practice Yoga 2-3 times a week and do ensure to do
the Yoga-esque calisthenics exercise: The Hindu Push-ups almost
everyday. All in all, I only use body-weight exercises and try to
do something everyday: running, walking, hiking, (Im always dancing
so)
For someone who previously suffered from excessive acne, asthma and
bad breath to someone who appears to be so much younger and
healthier now, I owe all of my health-my transformation from
distortion to harmony-to a combination of the vegan diet, yoga and
its derivative.
Yoga and the raw food diet offer many similarities in the ways they
benefit the body. Yoga books describe the same euphoric experiences
I have found in the raw food diet. Both purify and heal the body.
Both offer powerful therapeutic effects in dealing with physical
and psychological problems. Both promote radiant health.
Running, swimming and weight lifting are great for muscle building
but do little for connective tissue. It is the flexibility of the
joints and of the connective tissues that gives us the feeling of
ease and lightness in the body.
Yoga postures and the vegan diet make you more alive. Each practice
complements the other, bringing many of the same physical and
mental benefits
Needless to say, in this day and age, its no more an hippie thing
to try either or both for that seemingly unattainable health.
Its working for me, I just turned 25 last week and my boss at work
asked me in the mens room :Are you even legal (21) yet? and he was
dead serious.
So, why not empower yourself to improved health and radiance
beginning today with Yoga and the vegan diet. I think the man in
the mirror would appreciate that.
In Friendship
