      List Of Sattvic Food And Recipes

    • To cleanse the soul and body, filling it with positivity!

      We all have heard from our ancestors that food can purify our bodies. So it is right if we focus on the right type of food we are consuming. 

      The real meaning of sattvic recipes is Pure

      The sattvic food does not harm our bodies. It cleans the body and the soul and provides peace in both ways. The tradition of consuming sattvic food is from our ancestors, which keeps the soul and body positive.

      According to Shrimad Bhagwat Gita, sattvic food keeps us healthy, happy, cheerful and Strong. 

      The sattvic food is prepared without adding onion and garlic. As onion and garlic have heat-producing properties in our bodies, they make us angrier and welcome various diseases in our bodies.

      Nowadays people do not have time, making it difficult to cook sattvic foods. This makes them opt for fried and processed foods, which are quick to make and eat. Although knowing the adverse effects of these foods, people tend to consume these foods regularly.

      Consuming sattvic food does not mean having boiled vegetables or raw food. Instead, make sure to eat home-cooked food with your masala choice to make it tastier. Moreover, eating sattvic and home-cooked food helps absorb more nutrients into the body than other processed foods.

      Dietitian’s  Recommendation

      A 100% vegetarian diet should consist of seasonal fresh fruit, plenty of fresh vegetables, whole grains, lentils, sprouts, dried nuts, seeds, honey, fresh herbs, and dairy products. These nutrients increase our levels of sattva or consciousness. Sattvic cuisine is prepared and consumed with affection, gratitude, and mindfulness.

      A sattvic individual has a balanced personality and is calm, pleasant, serene, friendly, and full of energy, enthusiasm, health, hope, and aspirations. Another benefit of the sattvic diet is that it is a very efficient way to lose weight and keeps weight under control. When a sattvic food is over-processed, preserved for a longer time, or deep-fried, it turns tamasic.
