* The strength of a person varies according to seasonal changes. The ''doshas'' undergo physiological variations as per change in season. In order to maintain equilibrium and sustain health, a person should change his diet and lifestyle according to the season.  
 
* Human beings function like a microcosm of the universe and the physiological changes are predominantly affected by the changes in macrocosm e.g, geothermal changes due to the Sun or the effects of the Moon and other celestial bodies. The rotation of the earth around Sun and rotation of moon around earth result in changes in season. The Sun is responsible for temperature variations on earth, and this leads to changes in the physical and mental strength of a microcosm.
