The word ‘buddhi’ refers to the intelligence of a person. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 1/32], [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 15/5] Buddhi (intellect) is the power of forming and retaining conceptions and general notions.  (SAT-A.159) It includes perception, comprehension, understanding, and knowledge. Intellect is the ability of the mind to reach a correct conclusion about true and false and solve problems.  Dhee (intellect), dhriti (restraint), and smriti (memory) are three faculties responsible for intelligence.

The lifestyle of an individual depends upon his choices of daily living and habits. The intellect plays a key role in the decision-making of an individual. It differentiates between good and bad, beneficial and harmful perceived information. Then acquires the good and beneficial things for the preservation of health. In an abnormal state of intellect (prajnaparadha), the person indulges in bad and harmful objects. This disorganization of selection, discrimination and decision process leads to diseases. ‘Prajnaparadha’ is one of the fundamental causes of disease. [Cha.Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 11/43]

One who is endowed with excellent intellectual faculty, submissive mind, clear understanding and knowledge that results in positive speech and actions is not affected by diseases. [Cha. Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 2/47] Therefore, the preservation of buddhi is crucial for the preservation of health and prevention of diseases.
