Three Gunas Yoga philosophy directs us to be pure in body and introduces three gunas, or attributes of nature, for consideration: Tamasic, Rajasic, and Sattvic. Nutritional choices based on the gunas are essential to achieving all other Yogic principals. The gunas describe the ways of nurturing the mind, body and spirit: §
Tamas: laziness, inertia and dullness
§
Rajas: heat and over activity
§
Sattva: calmness, lightness and balance
Nutrition may also be separated based on these gunas.

Three Gunas – Sattvic Food §
Light, wholesome, fresh, and juicy
§
Nourishing and easily digestible
§
Water, fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds etc.
§
Sattvic foods balance the body by giving it the necessary energy without draining it.
§
These foods are calming and purifying.
§
Eating a diet of Sattvic foods gives the body the nutrients for proper functioning because whole, natural foods are easiest to digest, and result in a peaceful mind and a fit body.

Our Challenges Today – Solution §
Get back to the simplicity of whole foods
§
Remain present and become mindful of how you are treating your body
§
Focus on nourishing your soul – “primary foods”: o
The things that feed us that are not edible – career, relationships, finances, physical activity, education, spirituality, etc.
o
As important and integral to our well-being as is the food that we eat. They are all inter-related and affect each other
