During your ayurveda retreat in Rishikesh at our ayurveda center in Rishikesh, it is important to nourish the body properly. Our program acknowledges this holistic approach and serves sattvic food with high nutrition.
When following a sattvic diet, you avoid fried, processed, canned, and other items. This avoids cardiac problems and maintains a healthy level of cholesterol. Due to sattvic food's ability to keep our stomachs happy and promote simple digestion and absorption, diabetes and several malignancies are also avoided.
Balancing the Diet:
You avoid fried meals, processed foods, canned foods, and other unhealthy foods when you follow a sattvic diet. This controls cholesterol levels and shields against heart disease.
