Is there a recommended diet to follow with Bikram yoga?
You’ll find yourself naturally eating more sensibly as you practice Bikram yoga regularly. Don’t worry too much about your diet; the yoga will help your body find its ideal weight. Bikram yoga works on the digestive system to clean out the stomach and intestines, balance pH in the stomach, and normalize blood sugar. Since Bikram yoga balances the nervous system, endocrine and immune defense systems, they begin to work together more efficiently. Improved circulation to all cells ensures proper metabolism of all nutrients, including stored fats. Bikram does recommend chewing food carefully, and eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than three monstrous ones. The stomach should never be left empty because it then leaves the powerful stomach juices nothing to eat except the stomach lining.
