Good day! Tell me, what do yogis eat? I'm just starting to learn about this culture, and I want to understand the issue of nutrition. All yogis are thin, is this from malnutrition and restrictions? Or is it all about Hinduism? Good day! Tell me, what do yogis eat? I'm just starting to learn about this culture, and I want to understand the issue of nutrition.

Yogis eat according to the principle: “eat to live”. Most of them are raw foodists, as such food is healthier for the body. Fresh vegetables and fruits are an integral part of the day. You should also add more nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews, peanuts) and dairy products (milk, cottage cheese, kefir) to your menu. Store-bought yogurts should be avoided, as they contain many artificial and unhealthy components. You should eat only if you are really hungry. But keep in mind that 2-3 hours before bedtime it is better to avoid a heavy dinner so that your body can rest. Yogis drink a lot of water, 2-3 liters a day, this helps to rid the body of excess. But there are certain rules here too. You should drink water an hour before meals and a few hours after, drinking during meals is not recommended, as the liquid will dilute the gastric juice. Carbonated drinks and unnatural juices should also be avoided. Yogis eat according to the principle: “eat to live”. Most of them are raw foodists, as such food is healthier for the body.

It's not true that you can't drink water while eating. You can drink small sips of water with your meal. If you couldn't drink water while eating, you couldn't eat soup. An Ayurvedic doctor told me this, and it's written in Vasant Lad's book. It's not true that you can't drink water while eating. You can drink small sips of water with your meal.
