Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The most burning issue in today’s world of health conscious society is ‘Diet’. What to eat? How much food should we consume? etc are some of the most asked questions to a dietician. Even modern science has now acknowledged the age old fact that diet is the single most important factor responsible all kinds of metabolic, genetic and immunological disorders. But still the matter of fact remains that modern science has barelybeen able to scratch the surface of the principles of dietics and how human body responds to diet. The answers lies in the ancient texts of Ayurveda, which have propagated Asta Ahara Vidhivisheshayatan (eightfold Dietic rules) viz. Prakriti, Karan, Samyoga, Rashi, Desha, Kala, UpayogaSamstha and Upayokta. Since food is first dealt by the Alimentary Tract; Annavaha Srotas was selected inorder to analyse the effect of Asta Ahara Vidhivisheshayatan. In order to provide these set of Dietic principles a statistical backing; a survey study was conducted taking a sample size of 100 volunteers. These volunteers were divided into two equal and random groups’ viz. healthy volunteers and volunteers with GIT disorders. A set of scientific and factual questionnaire was utilized to assess the correlation between the Dietic rules and GI tract. About 74% of the healthy volunteers followed the Ayurvedic Dietic principles whereas only 18% followed them in unhealthy volunteers. Hence this study shows a highly significant correlation between the positive effects of Asta Ahara Vidhivisheshayatan on complete health.
