>[!abstract] >Mitahara is a Sanskrit combination word, from *Mita* (moderate) and *Ahara* (taking food). In Yoga and other ancient texts, it represents a concept linking nutrition to the health of one's body and mind. It is considered a yamas (a series of "right living" or ethical rules within Yoga philosophy), where one refrains from either eating too much or too little of certain qualities of food (Wikipedia, 2025). >[!related] >- **North** (upstream): [[Ayurveda]] >- **West** (similar): [[Caloric restriction]], [[Hara hachi bun me]], [[Okinawa diet]] >- **East** (different): [[Gluttony]], [[Overindulgence]] >- **South** (downstream): [[Longevity]], [[Sattvic diet]]
