So we must be willing to govern what we eat and to maximize our palate’s positive rChoice of food is a co-operative process involving both our knowledge of nutrition and the desires and satisfactions of our palate. The first is of prime importance and has long term benefits; the second is based upon the intensity of a few seconds when we relish the flavour of our food. We must teach ourselves by training the palate to enjoy the nutritious food that we know will guarantee our future well being.

In selecting food, we are generally guided by our common sense, as well as any knowledge we may possess about a particular food which is claimed to be ‘good for us’.

The ancient Ayurvedic tradition of Tridosha teaches of a threefold system used in determining the quality of things in nature. The lowest grade comes into the category of Tamasic. The medium grade is known as Rajasic and the finest quality, or the purest, is Sattwic. Once the nature of each of the three grades is understood, it is then advised that our diet should consist of a small amount of the first, a moderate amount of the second and that the purest or most natural foods should dominate.

There is an important principle to which we should steadfastly adhere: we each should eat intelligently by not only being aware of the source of a food, but by making a conscious decision to offer that ingredient to our body.

In the final essence nutrition must be studied intelligently in theory, as with any science, but its application will depend upon individual purpose, and a sense of responsibility in supplying nature’s requirements of suitable nutritional building blocks that will help in maintaining the miraculous mechanism of the human body and brain.

A traditional diet of healthy fresh foods of finest quality is natural to the Yogi and is becoming an increasingly popular choice by many who are being tutored by science to follow the guidelines of nature’s laws.
