Concept in Indian philosophy
Mitahara (Sanskrit: मिताहार, romanized: Mitāhāra) literally means the habit of moderate food.[1] Mitahara is also a concept in Indian philosophy, particularly Yoga, that integrates awareness about food, drink, balanced diet and consumption habits and its effect on one's body and mind.[2] It is one of the ten yamas in ancient Indian texts.[3]
