Yoga nutrition

Dietary method endorsed by Richard Hittleman, author of several books on yoga. According to Yoga Nutrition theory, (a) prana (“life-force”) is absorbable from food and is its “real nourishment,” and (b) eating too many indigestible, rich, “devitalized” foods allows gastric removal of “vital energies” from other parts of the body, including one’s “mental and spiritual bodies.”
