Fear of old age is one of humankind's most basic worries. Should you wait until next year to make a change in your lifestyle? Why wait? Let's look at two Yogic solutions, for aging, right now.
Movement or stagnation is a basic decision, but we all know that movement is a healthy choice. If you are limited due to: Range of motion, physical condition, or something else - Chair Yoga, Restorative Yoga, or Yoga Therapy, will help you with mobility.
You may also realize that your pains and aches decrease with regular Yoga practice. While Yoga may not be a cure for your condition, Yoga does offer practical pain management solutions.
Healthy eating choices exist within the Yogic diet. We also call the Yogic diet the "Sattvic diet," which has been copied for thousands of years. Sattva literally means: "Peace, balance, or light." It can also be stated that the Sattvic diet brings about feelings of peace and tranquility.
The Sattvic diet has become known as a pure diet, because it is based upon whole and pure foods. The foundation of the Sattvic diet is fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, honey, pure juices, whole grain cereals, whole grain breads, legumes, seeds, nuts, sprouts, milk, butter, cheese, herbs, and herb teas.
Obviously, there are people who have allergic reactions to some of these foods. In this case, you should not consume them. Most common allergies would be to nuts or dairy, but allergies are serious and should never be ignored.
We also have more moderate or low-fat choices, available for dairy products, than in the past. Therefore, moderation is a key, and we should avoid over- consumption of any food - even if the choices are healthy.
