Your Food is MEDICINE

Ayurveda's basic thought is to protect the health of a person,which is like "prevention is better than cure" in western style.
If we keep our food habits under check and food timings correct than several diseases
will always be away from us.
In coming days i shall be elaborating on the subject, so that any of us, who has not given this a thought yet, is alerted and reconsider's his habits for a possible change.
Many tribal cultures who follow their food traditions,just do not require any medications.

आहार ही औषधि

आयुर्वेद सदा से 'स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्य रक्षणं " का सिद्धांत मानता है ,इस कारण 'भोजन" में हर समय
'पथ्य' और अपथ्य का विचार कर लेना उत्तम होता है।
रोग की उत्पत्ति, "असमय -अपथ्य" भोजन से,सर्वाधिक होती है.
