Hi!

Today 97% of all health disorders can be traced to a faulty nutrition and diet. Will this problem be retrieved by doing Yogasanas?

It has been observed that (East) Indian civilizations suffer least from bowel problems, constipation, indigestion and other food related disorders such as obesity. Do you know why?

What are your views about this nutrition and diet issue including yoga.

This is a topic which is important to every human being so stay tuned with us during this discussion.

Thanks & Regards?

The importance of proper nutrition cannot be under stated. I have stopped going to restuarants and eating greesy food. I have been experimenting with Indian cooking which is difficult. There are a nice set of Indian cooking videos at cookingondvd.com

I believe that Americans simply don’t regulate what they eat and don’t excercise enough. I don’t know what type and how many types of problems associated with food are found in other countries, but look at how America is… we have anorexia, bulemia, obesity, and so many new prescriptions to help with heart problems, it’s not even funny. Our self image is bad because of society’s portrayal of how we are supposed to be. And how about all these dang diet pills!
I don’t think we get the point that if you just live a healthy lifestyle you will be very well off. Eating out is a huge problem! And lack of excercise is too! It’s a simple concept. Another problem is people are so busy nowadays to actually sit down and eat a meal. Stress…
Asian countries main food staples are healthy ones.
I think yoga is probably very good for your body, including your digestive organs. It’s also very relaxing, so decreasing stress levels helps to releive bowel problems. I should know… I suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome…
