Not only Ayurveda, but modern science also backs the idea of avoiding alcohol and non-vegetarian foods to follow a sattvik diet during Sawan. Here are some such reasons you should know about.
The weather during monsoon in India can be unpredictable and cause diseases, but avoiding alcohol and meat can reduce risks.
Not consuming fish and even some plants during Sawan allows nature to thrive and replenish its reserves.
Monsoon can be taxing on digestion, so skipping alcohol and non-veg foods can ease the pressure on digestion.
Skipping alcohol and meat during Sawan can help balance the doshas in the body, especially Pitta dosha.
Fasting during Sawan is considered a time of spiritual cleansing and avoiding alcohol and meat can help detox.
Research indicates that excessive alcohol consumption is associated with various health issues, so skipping it during Sawan can only help.
Skipping alcohol and non-veg during Sawan can help discipline your mind and body, and may even help you avoid both beyond Sawan.
Choosing a vegetarian sattvik diet during monsoon can help the environment as it is a more eco-friendly and sustainable practice.
