What is Pranic Food?

Pranic food can be categorized as:

• Positive Pranic Food: Foods that add energy and vitality to our system.
• Negative Pranic Food: Foods that drain energy from our body.
• Zero Pranic Food: Foods that neither add nor take away energy; often consumed for taste.

The Importance of Rest

Activity, which is dynamic, is possible only if there is enough rest. Our ability to perform effectively is decreased without sufficient rest. It is crucial to distinguish sleep from rest. Sleep represents a passive status, while the rest is the process of energy restoration and the precondition for our action. Pranic positive food, which is pranic, acts as a catalyst for our energy levels, while pranic negative food primarily results in lethargy and decreased vitality.

Understanding Negative Pranic Foods

A few foods, even though they are highly liked, are categorized as negative pranic. Some examples are:

• Coffee
• Caffeinated tea

The truth is that all the herbs and the roots have certain healing powers. However, one has to be careful about the way they consume them. For example, garlic, even though it is a great herb, it should not be the one that you use every day for your meals. Its high potency on the nervous system can, if taken on a regular basis, result in the condition of insensitivity.

On a contrary, the primary focus should be adding herbs and roots to our diet intentionally and selectively. This ensures that we reap the jazz of them and not bombard our system in the process.

• Ash gourd (or winter melon)
• Black pepper

Regular intake of honey can increase mental health and strengthen the body. It is the best option for kids and is even good for controlling body fat when taken with warm water.

Making Conscious Food Choices

Food needs to be a source of neither obsession nor addiction. Rather, it should be the process of opting for eating only those which are necessary for the body and not eating the rest. All meals are meant to be a selection that mainly represents personal health needs instead of pressure from society or culture.
