生命之氣的自然來源是空氣,水,睡眠,食物和陽光。你能選擇的隻有食物,食物在給你營養的同時會削弱你的元氣,因此吃的習慣對你的危害可能要大於對你的好處。瑜伽信奉者認為,你的食物質量高,那麽你吃得越少,感覺就越舒服,如果過多食用油膩,對人體有害的東西。或進食太頻繁,會傷了胃的元氣,導致消耗身體其他部位的生命之氣增添衰老症狀。
The chief sources of life-force (prana) are: air, water, sleep,food and sunlight. You are free to choose from a multitude of foodproducts. Since foods can sap your vitality as well as nourish you,your eating habits may well be doing you more harm than good!

進餐之後,你應該注意到精力充沛,有活力,而不是身體和精神變得笨重,遲鈍,這是一個很重要的啟示。幾乎所有的疾病都直接或間接歸因於不能正常消化和排出的食物不斷在體內累積的毒素,酸性物質,從而削弱了人體的防禦係統。
After some meals you will observe that you are alive and energizedwhereas others will leave you heavy, dull, lethargic in both bodyand mind. This is important revelation. Almost all illnesses can beattributed directly or indirectly to the toxins, acids and wasteproducts continually formed by inferior foods that cannot beproperly digested and eliminated. The body is capable of copingwith most germs that enter it, providing that this body is in apure, clean, healthy state with ability ot call upon its defenseagents as needed. A physical organism that is low in resistancebecause its defense agents are occupied in other areas, trying tocope with toxins, congestion and deposits, is greatly weakened inits attempt to fight these germs.

選擇配製食物的原則應盡可能與其自然狀態接近的方式,進食者關心的應該是食物中生命之氣的多少而不是量的多少。
All foods should be consumed in a from that is as close to theirnatural state as digestion permits. In their natural state, mostfoods contain life-force. The Yogi believes that the less you eat,the better you will feel, providing your food is of a highquality;Yogi is concerned not with the amount of food he eats butwith the amount of life-force in that food.

自然,清淡,你吃的食物愈簡單,愈相似就愈能快的被消化和利用。
The less you eat, the better you will look and feel. Your mealshould always leave you feeling light and energized in body andclear in mind. The more simple and homogeneous your foods, the morequickly and completely they will be digested and utilized.
