Abstract

Aahar is one of the Trayo-Upstambha (Aahar, Nidra, Brahamacharya). Healthy diet is the key of healthy, long and disease-free life. It is well said that right kind of food is the most important single factor in the promotion of health and the wrong kind of food is the most important single factor in the promotion of disease. We don’t need a bag full of medication to heal our body; all we need is to focus on what type of diet we should consume. If healthy food consumed and metabolized properly, it improves the quality and span of life. Due to fast paced life, there has been a major shift in diet pattern and increase in consumption of incompatible food. The substances which are contrary to Sharir Dhatus behave opposite to them. This antagonism may be in terms of properties, combination, processing, place, time, dose etc. or natural composition. ‘Viruddh Aahar’ is considered as the incompatible food i.e., the wrong combination of food which when consumed can cause disturbances in the normal physiological functioning and metabolism of body starting at the molecular level. In this paper we are going to infer the result that consumption of Viruddh Aahar can cause Rakta Dushti in human body. Also, how we can analyze it from the modern point of view through the concept of free radicals.
