The Sattvic diet is a vegetarian diet that is based on Ayurvedic principles and popular among yoga enthusiasts.
Those who follow a Sattvic dietary pattern avoid foods that are considered rajasic or tamasic, such as meat, eggs, refined sugar, spicy foods, and fried foods.
Although the Sattvic diet includes many healthy foods and may offer some health benefits, it’s highly restrictive and not based in science. For these reasons, it may be best to follow a less restrictive, plant-centric diet instead.
