Blessings on your journey Tom. May your cooking be your meditation! Eating
fresh, local, seasonal (check your local farmer's markets) and whole foods/
grains is a great first step. Eating healthy is delicious and is a true
lifestyle, not a diet. Natural foods also provide energy and digest easily
which I find allow greater receptivity and inspiration for the teachings to
flow through as one deepens their yoga practice.
And if it hasn't already been mentioned, I would also highly recommend the
book "Foods for Health & Healing" (Remedies and Recipes, based on the
Teachings of Yogi Bhajan). The book is a fantastic resource and also
includes special sections on foods that are of particular benefit to men,
women and children.
Warmly,
Destin Joy
