• When the agni stops functioning, the individual dies; if the agni functions normally, the individual can lead a healthy and long life. .  Similarly, if the agni becomes abnormal, the individual suffers from various diseases; and hence, the agni is said to be the root cause of health and longevity (4).

• Samaśana  is taking wholesome and unwholesome foods together in diet. Viṣamaśana is taking food either in excess quantity or very little quantity and also if taken before or after appropriate time. Adhyaśana is having food even though previously eaten food is not yet digested. All the above three are causes for death or give rise to serious disorders (235-236).

• If morning eaten food is undigested and still if anyone takes evening food, it may not be more vitiative since in day time all the srotas (channels) are dilated and heart is active similar to the lotus which blossoms with sunrise. During daytime, exercise, other physical and mental activities (cause heart to pump blood properly to) prevent the genesis of kleda (excess moisture) in various dhātus. In the night, the channels are closed, so is the heart which functions at slow rate as demand is less, the apakva ahāra rasa increases in viscosity; thus ama adheres to the dhātus and if another food is taken in the morning the indigestion causes more apakva ahāra rasa causing disease.
