Abstract

According to Ayurveda, all living and non living objects in the universe are made  up of Panchamahabhutas. In accordance with the requirements of Loka Purusha Samaya Siddhanta1, the world and the human body are connected entities with  the same panchabhuta constitution. Finding things that behave or look like  organs and figuring out which foods are ideal for a certain organ or organ system  both use the same notion. Caraka Samhita describes three supports of life viz.  ahara (intake of food), nidra (sleep) and bramhacarya (control of senses and  spiritual bliss conducive to the knowledge of Bramhan). Food (ahara) is  regarded as the most significant of these. Hitakara/pathya diet promotes  longevity, strength, intelligence, a clear voice, and a healthy complexion in  addition to maintaining good health. Organs should be kept healthy to improve  our overall quality of life. Different diet products are mentioned for various  organs to keep them healthy and disease free. Various pathya ahara are being  mentioned here for specific organs which is to be followed by everyone along  with proper Dinacharya and Ritucharya accordingly.
