Healthy Living Diets
Recharge Yourself...
I want to quote what Osho, the great mystic, said about healthy livingdiets - He says, "On the body level, the right food should be healthy, non-stimulating and non-violent; on the psychological level the mind should be in a blissful state, graceful and joyous; and on the level of the soul there should be a feeling of gratitude, of thankfulness. These three things make food the right food."
A healthy living diet is a nutritionally well- balanced diet and the exercise necessary in order to keep your body healthy. A healthy diet does not focus on cutting portions, or even counting calories;rather the diet is focused on theQUALITYof the food. For example in Ayurveda, diet has a great importance in maintaining good health and even curing disease. Good news! Although its not possible yet to take dietaccording to our genetic make-up, but a lot can be done to have healthy diet. We can take a diet which will affectour genes positively which in turn will give us a healthy body but opposite is also true.
