During Shravan, a sacred Hindu month, many devotees embrace the sattvic diet for spiritual and physical purification. This diet emphasizes fresh, plant-based foods, avoiding meat, processed items, and excessive spices. Benefits include improved heart health, balanced blood sugar, better digestion, reduced inflammation, and enhanced mental clarity. The sattvic diet, derived from the Sanskrit word “sattva”, meaning purity and harmony, is one of the three primary dietary classifications in Ayurveda. It emphasizes natural, minimally processed, plant-based foods that are believed to enhance clarity of thought, emotional balance, and overall vitality.
