DO YOU KNOW HOW YOUR FOOD AFFECTS MENSTRUATION ?

 

     As now a days , many of the women and young girls have habit of  eating junk food , bakery products , more dairy products , preserved foods , fast-foods ,food items containing maida (all purpose flour).

At start it doesnot show any effect on your body , further with its more intake , it results in Weight gain , menstrual abnormalities like Amenorrhea, Oligomenorrhoea, Irregular menstruation, PCOD ,etc..

As everyone knows the importance of  food intake for keeping their body in healthy state.

 As per Ayurveda , your food intake , food habits leads to the normal or abnormal state of  Tridosha & saptdhatu's.

As we are discussing about menstruation - lets see how your food habits and diet affects menstruation.?                                      

                                          

For a Normal and healthy menstruation needs normal formation of Aartava (menstrual blood).

As in Ayurveda, formation of Aartava is formed from the aahar-rasa.

              रसात स्तन्य ततो रक्तम : |( च.चि १५/१७) 

 Aacharya Charaka describes formation of aartava(rakta) and stanya from the rasa.

This rasa is nothing other than aahar-rasa and the rasa dhatu responsible for the formation of  aartava.

Healthy food intake leads to formation of  aahar rasa in normal state leading to formation of Healthy  dhatus which combinely leads to Rasa dhatu formation in its healthiest state which further forms  Aartava ( menstrual blood).

so, While explaining the importance of healthy diet we can say that -  "Healthy Food - Healthy Menstruation - Healthy Body !!"
