Health
It is possible to avoid or cure many common physical and mental diseases by
following a healthy lifestyle. An important part of yoga is the observance of
simple rules of diet and health. A vegetarian diet can be extremely helpful not
only in maintaining physical health, but also by contributing to one's mental
peace. The relationship of diet to physical and mental health is taught in our
courses.
While good food is vital to one's health, fasting is equally important. Our
body needs periodic rest and this includes our digestive organs. If you were
told to work 52 weeks per year, seven days per week, without any rest, you would
not like it and would eventually collapse. The same is true with our digestion
system. Fasting is the way to give rest to this vital system The proper
technique for safe and effective fasting is taught in our courses along with
other yogic "health secrets".
