Learn about our Editorial Process Updated on May 08, 2019 When you are thinking about your chakra system you probably aren't considering the types of foods that you consume. Because our chakras are energy vortexes and invisible to most of us one might well imagine that chakras would thrive on energy, prayer, or other such spiritual stuff... you know, those things that we can't see with the human eye. However, the chakras cannot sustain our human body without our help. It is important to feed and nourish the flesh in order to help support and fuel our energy body. Whenever one or more of your chakras is misaligned you might do well to review your diet choices to see if you are not eating or possibly overeating the foods that fuel that particular chakra. Check out the foods under each of the seven primary chakras in this step-by-step tutorial to help you determine how your current diet might be deficient or over-indulgent. We can do our part in helping bring balance to our chakras by eating a balanced diet. 01 of 07 Feeding Your Root Chakra Mieke Dalle/Getty Images Supporting Grounding / Anchoring Root vegetables: Carrots, potatoes, parsnips, radishes, beets, onions, garlic, etc. Protein-rich foods: Eggs, meats, beans, tofu, soy products, peanut butter Spices: Horseradish, hot paprika, chives, cayenne, pepper 02 of 07 Feeding Your Sacral Chakra MachineHeadz/Getty Images Supporting the Sexual/Creativity Center Sweet fruits: Melons, mangos, strawberries, passion fruit, oranges, coconut, etc. Honey & Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, etc. Spices: Cinnamon, vanilla, carob, sweet paprika, sesame seeds, caraway seeds 03 of 07 Feeding Your Solar Plexus Sappington Todd/Getty Images Boosting Self-Esteem and Encouraging Self-Love Granola and Grains: Pastas, breads, cereal, rices, flax seed, sunflower seeds, etc. Dairy: Milk, cheeses, yogurt.
