Ojas is our “inner sap”, our vitality, consciousness, and immunity. It is the basis for physical and mental endurance, the internalized essence of digested food and thought. Ojas is responsible for protecting the body from physical harm and provides emotional stability. It grounds us and supports our mental, physical and spiritual growth. It protects us against high levels of stress and provides mental stability and peace. There are foods that build ojas such as dates, milk, ghee, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, and foods that deplete ojas such as caffeine, alcohol, processed foods, and sugars. By choosing ojas increasing foods like dates and almonds, you can create that sparkle in your eyes and radiant, glowing skin.
