A Review Article on Contradictory Diet (Virudha Ahar)-The Distinctive Concept of Ayurveda
Author : Dr. Suruchi Sindhu
Abstract :
In essence, ayurveda is the science of life. It incorporates ideal guidelines for living a healthy existence. Ayurveda envisions a comprehensive programme to maintain health at all ages for both healthy and unwell people. The body itself is supported by three sub-pillars: Ahara, Nidra, and Brahmacarya. Here, Ahara has been listed first, demonstrating its significance. Ahara is the primary component that sustains life, just as fuel is required for a car. Like Ahara, which is the Dharana, Poshana, and Nirvahana of Prana, is food for the body. Ahara is not exclusively for Dehika Nirvahana in ancient Vedic literature; rather, according to yogika scriptures, the Satvika ahara balances the "Triguna of Manasa." Ahara is the source of Adhyatma Marga as well as the source of life. Ayurveda describes a very special idea called Viruddha Ahar. It serves as a diet guide, particularly by outlining foods to avoid. Our great acharyas observed the notions that are presented under the name of viruddha ahar in numerous individuals. In today's world, we may also witness, confirm, and see it. In this piece, in this essay, I attempt a thorough examination of the idea and current-day prevention of Viruddha Ahara consumption.
