Positive Pranic Food

Did you know that what you eat can have a positive or negative influence on your life? Yoga classifies foods into positive pranic food, negative pranic food and neutral (zero) pranic food

Always pray to the food atleast for a minute before you begin to eat

- Positive Pranic ---> food ignites your life energy, keeps you healthy, physically and mentally strong.

- Neutral (Zero)  Pranic --> food does not do much other than makes you lazy/lethargic.

- Negative Pranic --> if eaten daily food takes away your life energy leads to unhealthy, sick and cancer.

Note: Millets, Soaked nuts, & Copper stored water are positive pranic (ph >7) food.
Oats/Quinoa/Potatoes/Tomatoes are neutral.
All rice grains/ wheat/ maida/ meats/ alcohol/ salt/ sugar/ cold & processed foods are negative.

Pranic foods by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev:

In Yoga, we do not look at foods in terms of vitamins, minerals or proteins. We categorize food in the three following ways – positive pranic food, and negative pranic food, zero pranic food. Positive substances are those which, when consumed, add prana to the system. The pranic energy, the vital energy in the body, will increase. If you consume negative pranic substances, they take away prana

from the system. They will stimulate you on a nervous level but it will take away your vital energies. Zero pranic food neither adds nor takes away. It is only eaten for taste. 

Negative pranic substances:

• Garlic is definitely a very powerful medicine if it is used

properly. But if you put it in everyday food and eat it, it

can cause much damage to you.

• Onion: The body does not prefer onion. It shows it

dislikes with irritation that the eye feels when we chop it.

• Asafoetida is also one of the negative pranic items but is generally used in small quantities.

• Brinjal is the only vegetable that actually has some poison in it. There is a certain enzyme in

brinjal, which is capable of damaging the hypothalamus. Children should avoid this

vegetable.

• Chilli can be experimented with. However, if we abstain from it for some time and then take it,

the body will reject it.

• Coffee or tea are very powerful nervous stimulants. Constant abuse of nervous stimulants

will destroy the stamina in the long run. It will reduce the energy storage ability and make the

period of old age a bit difficult. Needless to say, all drugs and other nervous stimulants are

negative pranic.

Emotional instability is very much depended on the food that we eat. If we avoid food with

negative pranic substances, we’ll find that it becomes easy to attain emotional balance. The

negative pranic affects only these seven to eight food items, the rest all being positive.
