One of the frequent questions is - does food affect the practice of wakefulness?

There are many different opinions on this, ranging from - there is no connection, to without proper nutrition there is no way to stay awake.

I will say right away - everything that can greatly affect us can be a significant hindrance or help in the practice of wakefulness, and especially food.

But, in general, there is no suitable nutrition model for everyone that would help. You need to understand the principle. There are many nutrition systems, each of which, at a certain point in time, gives a person a significant boost in his vitality. You can imagine the whole path of change in the form of a ladder. The level at which you are now depends on what kind of nutrition will suit you in order to feel the best. 

The principle of gradual transition is very important! Your body will be energetic only if the load on its systems and processes is moderate. 

If, for example, from the first step of an absolutely ordinary omnivorous and all-allowing diet, you want to get up to the tenth, then most likely nutrition will interfere with you in the practice of wakefulness (the so-called sleep deprivation). Why will this happen? Because the transition from the first to the tenth stage is too difficult in itself, it takes a lot of mental and physical strength.

In another case, you are on the conditionally fourth step and you are comfortable being on the fifth. That is, at the fifth stage you feel the most energetic of all to your body the easiest, and then your changes in nutrition are the best assistant to sleep deprivation. 

So the conclusion can be made quite simple - if what you eat gives you a lot of strength, then this is the ideal nutrition for the practice of wakefulness because it requires you to be as energetic as possible.

In another case, being on the same fourth step, you decided to go down to the third, ate something that, although it has an interesting taste, is already a significant load for your body. After that, there is a 100% chance that you will sleep for a long time and
