Your brain will begin to think more clearly as you regularly remove toxins from your blood by stimulating your digestion process with yoga. Your emotional highs and lows will start to stabilize as your blood sugars level out from eating every 2-3 hours. The berries and healthy fats such as avocado, coconut oil and nuts help your brain health and you will be excited to notice your brain fog lifting. As your clarity returns, you may be able to pursue dreams that intimidated you in the past.
As you incorporate more salads and live plant nutrients into your body, your high blood pressure and bad cholesterol will improve. Yoga also helps with this. You will find healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, grapeseed oil and nuts that will give you energy without the unhealthy trans fats.
