Yogic diet and nutrition is based on ayurveda principles (one of the oldest medicinal systems in the world) and the 5 elements: water, earth, fire, space and air. Depending on which of the elements are balanced you as a personality, body and lifestyle you are determined with specific Dosha.
There are 3 types of Doshas:
Kapha – representing water and earth elements
Vita – represents the elements space and air
Pitta – represents the elements fire and water
If unbalance in the elements occurs we experience health issues as a sign of it.
Understanding how to balance the Doshas requires to understand the 3 possible states of mind called Gunas. Gunas represent the way we see the world and can be:
Sattvic – representing harmony and satisfaction
Rajas – movement and creativity
Tamas – sleep and materialism
