Next week is National Veggie Week and I thought it would be good to get involved. Why? Well, many people who practice yoga also try to follow Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, a set of guidelines relating to every aspect of your life, which aim to help you become a healthy, truthful, respectful & balanced person. One part of these Sutras is called Ahmisa, which translates as non-violence, ensuring that you do no harm to others or yourself. Many yogis believe that being vegetarian ensures that no animal will have come to harm to provide food.
We also know that eating more vegetables and less red meat and saturated fat is healthy, so even if you don't want to become a vegetarian, having more meat-free meals might help you feel healthier.
If you have a favourite veggie recipe, please bring it in. I can put them all on this website so we can all try them out.
Alternatively, have a look at some of the recipes at nationalvegetarianweek.org for inspiration.
