Healthy eating guidelines

Maharishi Ayurveda emphasises the health benefits of a vegetarian diet, but it is also recommended that any changes made to one’s diet should be made
comfortably and gradually.

If meat is to be eaten then generally chicken, turkey and fish are preferable, although all type’s of meat, eggs and fish should be minimised in Pitta and Kapha diets.

Eat in a settled and quiet atmosphere. Do not work, read, or watch television during meals. Always sit down to eat. Eat at roughly the same times every day.

Do not eat too quickly or too slowly. Eat to about 3/4 of your capacity. Do not leave the table very hungry or very full.

Avoid taking a meal until the previous meal has been digested.

Take a few minutes to sit quietly after eating before returning to activity.
