ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is essentially the science of life. It embraces in itself perfect principles for leading a healthy life .Ayurveda envisages complete regimen for both healthy and diseased one, guarding health at all ages. Man has a natural tendency towards change in the life at every stage and the food and food habits are also covered by this tendency. But unfortunately he either by ignorance or by his carelessness never cares about the harmfulness or harmlessness of his food and food habits. As a result he may have to pay penalty for his non – judicious changes. According to Ayurveda the non-beneficial or the harmful food is termed as the Viruddhahara (Ahita Ahara), which includes so many things and produce so many diseases in our body.
