Can we eat after doing yoga?

No, You should not eat after doing yoga.  It’s not a good idea to eat straight after practicing yoga. Instead, wait until the right nostril becomes dominant after the practice, or give yourself a nice half-hour interval.

If one wants to get the full benefits of yoga, they should practice it first thing in the morning and on an empty stomach. It makes sense that one would wake up with an empty stomach. For the evening session, one must do it when they are feeling light on his/her stomach. Depending on the type and quantity of food consumed at lunch, this means 3 to 4 hours after eating. In this case, “what” refers to the meal and how difficult it is to digest, and “how much” relates to the amount. However, keeping the distance between yoga and getting something would also depend on the person’s age. A teenager’s stomach may seem like it’s emptying earlier than an older person.

Yoga practitioners are advised to eat light meals. Food should be mild on the stomach and consumed in moderation. One is advised to divide their stomach into four equal halves. Half of the stomach should be occupied by food, and the other half should be vacant to make room for air. One fourth of the stomach should be reserved for water.

According to Ayurveda Meal, items can be categorized in three types:

• Sattvic: Rajasic and Tamsic are balanced to form Sattvic. hence, brings about bodily balance.
• Rajasic: which causes unnecessary physical restlessness and passion in mind.
• Tamsic: which excessively dulls and makes you sluggish or lazy.
