萨古鲁：为什么水果饮食对你和地球有益？

Question: Sadhguru, you have said that our psychological situation can be influenced by what we eat. Medical science is talking about how a fruit diet promotes psychological wellness. Is there any significance to this? And is a predominantly fruit diet okay for people in regular situations involving work, family or lots of physical activity?

问：萨古鲁，你曾说过，我们的心理状况会被我们所吃的食物影响。医学科学正在讨论水果饮食如何促进心理健康。这有什么重要性吗？对于那些要处理日常工作、家庭生活和从事大量体力活动的人来说，主食水果真的好吗？

Sadhguru: In any machine, with any kind of fuel that we use, the efficacy of the fuel essentially depends on how easily it burns. For example, the kind of gasoline you use for a regular automobile is different from what you use in a race car or an airplane because of how easily it burns. You might have seen the octane levels in gas stations – eighty-seven, eighty-nine, ninety, ninety-one, ninety-three, ninety-six. When we were riding motorcycles, we would pay three times and buy hundred octane because suddenly the motorcycle performs in a way that others cannot.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：在任何机器中，我们使用的燃料的效能本质上取决于它的易燃度，例如，普通汽车所用的汽油与赛车或飞机使用的是不同的。你可能已经在加油站见过辛烷值——87、89、90、91、93、96。当我们骑摩托车时，我们可能会付三倍的价钱买100辛烷值的汽油，因为摩托车会突然以超出寻常的方式行驶。

Fruit Diets Are Easy on Digestion

水果饮食很容易消化

Similarly, the most easily digestible food is fruit. Digestion means jataragni – the digestive fires. If these fires have to burn most effectively, fruit is definitely the best thing. Unfortunately, a lot of people enjoy lethargy and inertia. Life has not touched them so they enjoy a part of them being dead. Sleep, intoxication, overeating and just lying down feels better than being alive, active and dynamic. Fruit may be a problem only for such a person because it will keep you alert and awake. It does not keep you intoxicated, unless it ferments of course! And one can know an extreme sense of joy, intoxication and a deep pleasure out of heightened levels of awareness also. But now the question is, can I eat fruit and still be normal?

同样的，最容易消化的食物是水果。消化意味着jataragni——消化之火。若要这“火”最有效地燃烧，水果绝对是最好的。不幸的是，很多人喜欢昏睡和惰性。生命还未触及他们，所以他们享受部分死亡的状态。比起活跃积极的状态，他们更享受睡眠、醉酒、饮食过量或只是躺着。只有对这样的人，水果可能会是一个问题，因为它会让你保持警觉和清醒。它不会让你醉，当然除非它发酵了。然而，一个人也可以在高度的觉知中体验到极度的欢欣、沉醉和愉悦感。现在的问题是，我可以吃水果并仍然保持正常吗？

A Fruit Diet is What Nature Intended

水果饮食是自然的本意

A simple answer is in your general practice of life itself. Suppose you are ill in a hospital bed, no one will bring you chicken biryani. They will bring fruits because your friends and relatives understand, “You got sick eating all that. At least now, eat sensibly.”

一个简单的答案就在你的日常生活中。假设你生病躺在医院的床上，没人会给你带咖喱鸡肉饭。他们会带水果，因为你的朋友和亲人懂得，“你是因为吃了那些东西生病了。至少现在，要合理饮食。”

You know, even Adam started with a fruit. Fruit is one aspect that nature itself intends to be food. The seed is the important part of the mango. The flesh is only a draw, a lure so that animals and birds will go for it and carry the seed somewhere far away.

你知道，就连亚当也是从水果开始的。水果是大自然有意作为食物的一个表现。种子是芒果的重要组成部分。果肉只是一种吸引、一个诱饵，以便动物和鸟类来寻找它并将种子带向远方。

Seasonally, there are a variety of fruits. It is incredible that those kinds of fruits which the land produces at a certain time are most suitable for the system. There has been a lot of study about this – how for those seasons when it is cold, when it is hot, when the moisture is very high, then the right kind of fruit comes out of the earth if you are eating from that area. But now you are eating fruit that comes from New Zealand. This is another matter. If you are eating from the land around you, you will see that the right kind of fruit is coming to you at the right season. It is the best thing to eat at that time.

有很多季节性的水果。不可思议的是，大地在特定时间产出的那些水果恰恰对系统是最适合的。有很多关于这方面的研究——当天气寒冷时、炎热时，应该相应地吃什么；当湿度很高时，会有对应的水果从土地里出来——如果你吃的是本地食物的话。但是现在，你吃的水果来自新西兰。这是另一个问题。如果你吃的东西来自附近的土地，你会看到对的水果在对的季节来到你面前。这是那个时候可以吃的最好的东西。

Precautions When You Go On a Fruit Diet

水果餐的注意事项

Fruit can do miraculous things to the body. One can become very alive and active, no matter what your lifestyle is. But if you are in a very physically-demanding kind of job – for example, if you are digging outside every day, not with a machine but physically, and doing very hard work – then you may find yourself getting hungry every two hours. There is only that much volume of fruit you can eat, but it gets digested so rapidly that your stomach may feel empty.

水果可以给身体带来奇迹。不管你的生活方式如何，水果可以让一个人可以变得非常活跃和积极。但如果你从事的是体力劳动，例如，你每天在户外挖掘，不是用机器，而是身体劳作，并且工作繁重，那么你会发现自己每两个小时就会饿。你一次只能吃一定量的水果，但很快就消化了，你的胃就感觉很空。

Whether you want to use your brainpower or be engaged in physical activity, fruit will work perfectly well.

不论你需要用脑力还是体力，水果都很适合。

If you go on a total fruit diet, you may have to spend a little more time at lunch and eat slowly, so that you ingest enough fruit. You may feel full even with a little fruit because it is generally sweet, so you have to wait and slowly eat. There is also a bio-clock within us. Let us say you were taking ten to twelve minutes to eat your normal cooked meal. Even if you eat fruit, when you reach ten to twelve minutes, your body will say you have eaten enough. So you have to consciously eat more because the body is not looking at the fill, it is just timing you.

如果你只吃水果餐，你可能要多花一些时间吃午餐，吃慢一点，以便你吸取足够多的水果。你可能吃一点水果就会感觉很饱，因为它通常是甜的，所以你需要等待并吃慢一些。我们体内也有个生物钟。假设说你一般用10到12分钟吃你烹饪过的食物。那么即使你改为吃水果，当你吃了10到12分钟时，你的身体会说你已经吃够了。所以你需要有意识地多吃，因为身体看的不是吃了什么，它只是在给你计时。

If you are only on fruit diet and physically very active, you may need to bring three meals into your day. If you are sleeping six or eight hours, for the remaining sixteen to eighteen hours, eating three times is more than enough if you are eating fruit. But the stomach will feel empty within two hours, so you must get used to hanging on with high energy but an empty stomach. This is the time your brain works best and you as a human being function best.

如果你只吃水果，并且体力活动多，你可能需要一天吃三餐。如果你睡6-8个小时，对于剩下的16-18个小时，即便吃水果，吃三次都足够了。但是胃会在两个小时之内就感觉饿，所以你必须要习惯高能量而空腹的状态。这是你大脑工作最佳的时候，也是你作为一个人运行最佳的时候。

Whether you want to use your brainpower or be engaged in physical activity, fruit will work perfectly well. But you do not know what the fruit that you get in the market today is filled with. That is a little bit of a problem. I clearly notice this: the kind of country fruits that we used to eat when we were young are not the same as the farm-grown fruits that are coming to us today. They are much bigger, rounder and better-looking, but this is like Botox!

不论你是想进行脑力还是体力活动，水果都会很适合。但你不知道你今天从市场得到的水果被什么充斥着。这是一个问题。我清楚地注意到了这个问题：我们以前吃的农村的水果和现在吃的农场生产的水果是不同的。现在的更大、更圆、更好看，但看起来就像肉毒杆菌！

I can clearly feel it does not have the same level of strength and aliveness in it. These fruits are essentially made for the market, not for the man. This does not mean that they are totally a waste, but they do not have the same nutrient that they used to have, so we may have to fortify it with some amount of other food.

我可以很清楚地感到里面没有同等的能量和活力。这些水果是为市场生产的，不是为了人。这不意味着它们完全是浪费，但它们确实没有过去的营养，所以我们可能还需要一定量的其他食物来增强。

A Fruit Diet is Good for the Planet

水果饮食对这个星球有益

Above all, it is ecologically a very sensible way to eat. Everyone should turn at least thirty percent fruity – that is, at least thirty percent of your diet should become fruit. If thirty percent of your food comes from trees, not from ploughed land and crop, ecologically it will make a huge difference for the world.

最重要的是，从生态学的角度，这也是很明智的饮食方式。每个人都至少应该有百分之三十是水果——也就是说，你的饮食应该至少百分之三十是水果。如果你食物的百分之三十是从树上来的，而不是来自耕地和农作物，从生态学上来说，它将为这个世界带来巨大的不同。

If you are trying to shift from heavy meat eating to fruit, then you may find it is like you have eaten nothing because you are used to being pulled down to the earth by eating very heavy food. You will anyway be pulled down to the earth when you die. But right now, we call it life when we spring out as if we do not belong to the earth. Even the bird that soars is made of earth, but when it is soaring up there it does not look like earth. Every life, when it springs out, it should not look like earth, though we are of the earth.

如果你正尝试从肉类转变成水果，你可能会感觉好像没有吃东西似的，因为你习惯了被过去吃的很重的食物拉向地面。不管怎样，当你死的时候你都会被拉回大地。但现在，我们冒出来时，我们被称为“生命”，就好像我们不属于大地似的。即便高翔的鸟儿也是来自大地的，但当它飞翔时，它看起来可不像土地。每一个生命，当它冒出来的时候，它不应该看起来像土地，尽管我们是属于大地的。

If we want to spring up, the fuel that we consume must be that which burns quickly and is very easily flammable. That is the best food. In our stomach, without doubt, fruit is what burns up quickest. This means it has the least amount of residue and puts the least amount of tax and stress on the system.

如果我们想起飞，我们消耗的燃料必须能够轻易、快速地燃烧。那就是最好的食物。毫无疑问的，对我们的胃来说，水果是燃烧最快的。这意味着最少的残留物，以及对系统最少的负担与压力。

Love&Grace,
