The diet also depends upon the agni of a person. Diet play as important role in our life. Ayurveda has described aahara in detail in their various granthas. The detail which disturbs the balance among the body elememts is called viruddhaaahara(Incompatible diet). Consuming two food items together or a particular type of diet items together or a particular type of diet may lead to toxicity, it is termed as incompatible diet. Even incompatible diet should be considered similar to garavishas (artificial Poison). Food taken in proper method nourishes the person physically and mentally both and it is the food through which person attains positive health and growth of body. Due to western lifestyle there is extensive exposure to toxin. It may lead to viruddhaaaharjanitavyadhis (incompatible food induced disease) and its prevention in Brihattrayi.
