Take 3

​

Meditation is an ignored practice in the Western world. We gravitate towards the latest diet, purchase the most current technology, and listen to the new wave life coach trending at the moment. We do all of these things in the hopes of fixing ourselves or obtaining success. For many people, meditation is like vegetables; they don't like them even though we need them. So they don't eat them to their own detriment. If we don't meditate-we live half-a life. 

Meditation is for the mind what food is for the body. Although we might not eat the right foods, we eat. But what about the mind. How do we ensure or cultivate a healthy mind? How do we stop our disturbing thoughts and emotionally cluttered way of living? How do we become conscious, mindful, and even enlighten? Learn to meditate. 

Protect Yourself

In this section, we will explore not only food but our eating practice. Why? Because diseases such as obesity, diabetes, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, dental disease, and osteoporosis are related to what we eat. You might ask, what does this have to with yoga? Everything. Our yoga practice links us to the health of body-mind-spirit. Yoga is the path to a healthy life.

To that end, in Our Bodies, Our Responsibility by Dr. Alston, we reflect on the why, what, when, and the way we eat. Why we eat may be obvious-to stay alive. However, we also eat for pleasure. Pleasure eating is eating for the sake of eating. We do it because it makes us feel good to eat. Pleasure eating is called hedonic.

In contrast, homeostatic eating maintains balance or equanimity within the body. That means food regulates our blood sugar and cholesterol levels; heart, bone, and immune health. For most of us, eating is not that deep. And yet, the reality is that what we don't know regarding food can lead to years of suffering.

The coronavirus is deep. Food as a mitigation tool can arm our bodies with essential macronutrients and micronutrients to optimize our immune system. Be well. Be Healthy. Àse Yoga#whereeverybreathcounts.
