Sattvic Diet – Dr Kanupriya Khanna

What is a sattvic diet?

Sattvic Diet – Satvik comes from the Sanskrit word “Sattva” which means pure, clean and strong energy. According to Bhagavad Gita, the food that an individual eats directly influences their thoughts, character, mental well-being and health. A Satvik food purifies the mind, removes toxins from our body, thus cleansing both the body and mind.

Fresh fruits, vegetables, sprouts, honey, ghee, nuts, grains, legumes, jaggery, unrefined sugar, turmeric, black pepper, dhania, fresh herbs, milk, and dairy products are all part of the sattvic diet. Food that is satvik calms a person down and strengthens their immune system.

What are the benefits of a sattvic diet?

A Sattvic diet has many advantages, including weight loss, improved digestion, and reduced brain fog.

•Heart illness – A vegetarian or vegan diet reduces the risk of dying from ischemic heart disease by 30% compared to a meat-eating diet. Diets based on plants are higher in fibre and lower in saturated fat.

•Cancer – Your risk of developing cancer is also decreased by a sattvic diet high in whole plant foods. Phytochemicals, which are abundant in fruits and vegetables, may help fight cancer. High-fibre diets can also assist you in maintaining a healthy weight, which can reduce your risk of developing certain cancers.

•Diabetes type 2 – You can lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by eating a plant-based diet and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, studies show that vegetarians are less likely than meat eaters of the same weight to develop type 2 diabetes.

•Stroke – Your risk of stroke can be decreased by eating a plant-based diet. In this context, a healthy diet means including plenty of leafy greens, beans, and whole grains while limiting the amount of sugar, refined grains, and potatoes.

•Better immunity – The primary focus of sattvic diets is on fruits and vegetables, which are the primary sources of nutrients for all life forms. Sattvic food, which gives the body all the necessary macronutrients, micronutrients, fibres, antioxidants, etc., takes care of all the little details our body needs to defend itself against illnesses, giving it innate immunity.
