Namaste to all<br>I am a little bit confused

about dairy products. Somebody told that there are no

good for yoga practice, but in Yoga Mala or in the

diet of Guruji he recommendet milk, Ghee...

....?<br><br>The same about sugar, guruji eats a lot, with cofee

and milk. ...?<br><br>Have anybody some advice about

it?<br><br>Have anybody experience about doing astanga and

running and biking. What happens? There are completely

incompatibles?<br><br>"Peace for everybody"

I avoid dairy products mostly because I am

lactose intolerant. Dairy products are excessively high

in protein and fat (like all animal food is). Their

regular consumption leads to a chronic acid condition in

our bodies, which sets the stage for arthritis,

osteoporosis, and a generally weaker immune system. Not to

mention all the growth hormones and antibiotics that the

animals are loaded with, which ends up in the food.

<br><br>Sugar is very acid-forming as well. Think about what it

does just in your mouth...cavities! It is hell on your

liver, pancreas, adrenals. It makes me feel awful when I

eat it.<br><br>If you can eat these things without

them having a negative effect on your health, then

more power to you! To each, his own.<br><br>Enjoy your

food, enjoy your practice. They both are a blessing.

Namaste :)

On diet, considering what i've seen work for

others and for myself, I agree with SPW's comments. The

possible exception may be sugar making one stiff -- this

may be true for some people, I just haven't really

seen the connection. And as you point out, there's

plenty of sugar in Guruji's coffee, and yet Sarath seems

reasonably flexible (joke).<br><br>Eating less food, and

eating mostly raw food, is in my opinion and experience

the keystone of the yoga diet for flexibility. Plenty

of water is also essential.<br><br>On the other

hand, dairy might be essential for some people. We have

to have a certain amount of fat, and perhaps it has

to be animal fat, in order to keep our fire. Eating

100% raw might be great for your backbends, but if you

feel you're freezing all the time (and this is a very

common symptom of an all-raw diet) is it worth

it?<br><br>Reality before concepts
