• Transformation of food (digestion, assimilation and metabolism) results in two attributes, prasada (building blocks) and mala (waste products). Mala are either paripakva dhatu (mature tissue elements of the body) which are reutilized or vitiated (either aggravated or diminished) doshas/dhatu which need to be excreted .

• The foetus is dependent upon the mother for all its activities. It gets nourishment by the process of upasneha (perfusion) and upasweda (thermal regulation). It gets nourishment by the process of perfusion- sometimes through the hair follicles and sometimes through the umbilical cord and placenta connected with the heart (circulatory system) of the mother. The heart of the mother floods the placenta (with nourishment) through the pulsating vessels. This rasa (nutritive fluid) promotes strength and complexion of the foetus as it is composed of material having all six rasa (tastes). Therefore the diet and lifestyle of mother during gestation is of utmost importance to prevent disorders in the foetus.
