		<description><![CDATA[Unlike nutritionists (who describe their meal as Carbohydrate, protein and fat), Yogis define the food as Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic&#8230;based on their effect on the body and soul. Because, the food that we eat not only nourishes the body but also affects our &#8216;Mind&#8217; and &#8216;Emotions. That is why in a modern day, A Sattvic diet [&#8230;]]]></description>
