Casey “The Boomer” Dowd (Fox Business News): How can baby boomers benefit from a yoga diet? How do we get started?
Susan: A lot of people think a yoga diet is to be a vegetarian and there is nothing wrong with that. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is a very healthy way to eat. There is so much controversy now about where meat comes from and some of it is kind of nasty. Often,the more people do yoga, the more in touch they get with their bodies and the less they want to eat heavy meats like hamburgers. It just doesn’t feel good in the body anymore. They may not even realize it, but their taste has changed. Some people jump into it and decide they are going to do yoga and become a vegetarian–in those cases it is really important to get some coaching and understand where your nutrition and protein are coming from. If you allow the yoga to take you down that path it will be much more gradual.
