Most of the people are not follows the rules they are mentioned in Ayurveda because of fast life style. They have bad food habits like intake of fast foods, cold drinks, coffee fried foods, late nights foods, alcohol, excessive use of chilly and masala in foods etc. The improper life style and food habits generates the vitiation of doshas as Vata, Pitta & Kapha and various disease may occur.
