Abstract

There is a general statement that goes as “We are what we eat”. Our diet and way of living have a significant impact on our bodies and minds. Understanding the significance of clinical nutrition is thus crucial today. Ayurveda has accorded equal priority to food and its preparation, storage, utensils, regulations for consumption, unsuitable diet (Viruddha Ahara), and other factors that affect skin health because nutrition is a significant indicator of development. The core principle of pathya Ahara-Vihara serves as the foundation for both the preventive and therapeutic components of Ayurveda.
