Yoga is a complete system designed to help individuals create union with their True Self, through meditation and other practices. Yoga asanas or poses are great exercise that benefit the body in many ways such as stress relief, more energy, mindfulness, and helps detox your body through sweat. In addition to this, a healthy eating is key to healthy living, and that applies excellently to yoga nutrition. When one eats healthy, nourishing foods, the digestive tract can do its regular job of digesting food, and can help cleanse the body of toxins and waste. Yoga nutrition adds to this by taking the mental and spiritual aspects of the food into consideration too. This helps the patient become more open minded for behavioral changes and helps you as a healthcare provider to become more of an active listener and more compassionate with your patient for better building rapport.
