ET Online |
1/6
Simple foods, daily use
Sadhguru frequently encourages simple, sattvic, plant‑forward foods and mindful eating to improve daily vitality; this set focuses on five widely available items he commonly discusses in wellness contexts—kept practical for Indian home kitchens. Each food here has supportive evidence in nutrition research for heart health markers like lipids or blood pressure.
2/6
Garlic (lasun)
1 clove raw or lightly cooked daily; add to tadka, chutneys, or crush and rest 5–10 minutes before cooking. Traditional wellness mentions align with research linking garlic intake with modest reductions in total and LDL cholesterol and small blood pressure drops over weeks; consistency matters.
3/6
Flaxseed (alsi)
1–2 tablespoons freshly ground flaxseed daily in curd, salads, smoothies, or rotis; store ground flax in the fridge. Rich in ALA omega‑3s and fiber, flaxseed is associated with improved LDL and slight BP reductions; grinding improves absorption and makes it easy to add to meals.

Drumstick/moringa leaves
1 small katori cooked leaves in sabzi/sambar 3–4 times a week, or 1–2 teaspoons leaf powder daily in yogurt/smoothies (avoid boiling water). Moringa leaves provide potassium, magnesium, and polyphenols that support vascular function and lipid metabolism, complementing broader diet changes.
5/6
Amla (Indian gooseberry)
1 fresh amla daily (raw, chutney) or 1–2 teaspoons amla powder; amla water/shot in the morning if preferred. High vitamin C and polyphenols; small trials associate amla with improvements in LDL and triglycerides when used regularly alongside a balanced diet.
6/6
Soaked almonds
10–15 soaked almonds per day (unsalted, unroasted), as a snack or added to breakfast bowls.Almonds provide healthy fats, fiber, magnesium, and arginine; regular intake is linked with lower LDL and better lipid profiles as part of a calorie‑appropriate plan.
