A Satvik diet is abundant in life force, while a diet which is predominant in stimulants like alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and refined sugars will lack life force. As part of Ayurvedic fertility treatment, a satvik diet is recommended- this comprises fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, lentils and pulses that are locally available, seasonal and prepared freshly for consumption.
In this context, genetically modified seedless grapes or antibiotic and hormone infused meat cannot be considered as satvik and conducive to proper nourishment of reproductive tissues. Milk which is produced from cattle that are reared outdoor and are naturally grass fed instead of grains is also considered satvik. Use of sprouted beans and activated nuts/seeds are also recommended as superior nourishment sources and will act as natural fertility boosters.
