A maxim of Hatha Yoga


" It is not what a man eats, but the amount that he assimilates, that nourishes him."
Eat nutrious and nourishing food, extracting the maximum amount of nourishment from the minimum amount of food.The stomach is a pear -shaped bag with a capacity of about one quart (1.136 litre or 2 pints). Fill your stomach 1/2 with food, 1/4 with water and leave 1/4 for the air. Miss a meal once a week to give rest to the digestive system.
