body.According to the ayurveda ,there are both positive and negative
attributes of diet.In ancient Indian scriptures food has been compared to
god,since it is the main factor which sustains life.
Since ayurveda deals with a holistic approach of healing,it covers the diet
factor in detail.It is clearly mentioned in'charak samhita' that consuming
improper diet in improper way is the main cause of diseses.
WHEN DIET IS WRONG MEDICINE IS OF NO USE
WHEN DIET IS CORRECT MEDICINE IS OF NO NEED.
