<div style="text-align:justify;">
Food is the most important source to achieve health and disease according to Ayurveda, and is even considered as a source of life as well as diseases. Wholesome diet is considered not just to be nourishing, but also to be therapeutic. It has also been given importance in other vedic texts. For instance, Maharshi Kashyapa considered food as ''mahabheshaja'' (great medicine) (Ka.S.Khil-4/5-6). However, there are some differences between ''ahara'' (food) and ''bheshaja'' (medicine) - the former is ''rasa pradhana'' (taste-centric) while the latter is ''veerya pradhana'' (potency centric).
Food is the most important source to achieve health and disease according to [[Ayurveda]], and is even considered as a source of life as well as diseases. Wholesome diet is considered not just to be nourishing, but also to be therapeutic. It has also been given importance in other vedic texts. For instance, Maharshi Kashyapa considered food as ''mahabheshaja'' (great medicine) (Ka.S.Khil-4/5-6). However, there are some differences between ''ahara'' (food) and ''bheshaja'' (medicine) - the former is ''rasa pradhana'' (taste-centric) while the latter is ''veerya pradhana'' (potency centric).
The etymological meaning of ''ahara'' (food) is to collect (''ahiyate'') for the nutritional purpose of the body. ''Ahara'' is a generic term that can mean ''anna'' (literally, cereals, but also mean solid food) and ''pana'' (beverages or anything drinkable). ''Ahara'' can be classified into twelve categories and should be balanced, consisting of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, salts, water, vitamins and essential micronutrients available from ''shashtika'' (rice), ''shali'' paddy, ''mudga'' (pulses), ''ghrita'' (clarified butter), ''saindhava lavana'' (rock salt), ''antariksha'' (rain water), ''amalaki'' (Indian gooseberry), ''madhu'' (honey) and ''payas'' (milk). According to Ayurveda, balanced diet besides nourishing the body, maintains the equilibrium of ''doshas, dhatus'' and ''malas''.

According to [[Ayurveda]], balanced diet besides nourishing the body, maintains the equilibrium of ''doshas, dhatus'' and ''malas''.
There are many substances in ''shaka varga'' (greens or green vegetables) that are used as diet and medicine, like ''kakamachi'' (Solanum nigrum Linn.), ''patha'' (Cissampelos pareira Linn.), ''shatishaka'' (Hedychium spicaticum Buch-Ham), ''changeri'' (Oxalis corniculata Linn.), ''shakuladani'' (Picrorhiza kurroa Royle ex Benth.), ''vrishapushpa'' (Adhatoda vasika Nees), ''gojihva'' (Launea asplenifolia Hook.f.), ''tilaparnika'' (Gynandropsis gynanndra Linn.), ''prapunnada'' (Cassia tora Linn.), ''triparni'' (Adiantum lunulatum Burm.), ''parpatakam'' (Fumaria vaillantti Loisel) etc.

Now described are sugarcane juices and derived products. Sugarcane juice should ideally be consumed right off the cane by chewing. Machine-pressed juice does not have the same quality and can be irritating. Sugarcane juice is an aphrodisiac, cold in potency, laxative, unctuous, nourishing, sweet and increases kapha. The vamshaka variety of sugarcane is considered inferior to the white variety (paundraka) in the matter of coolness. [237]</div>

For over 4000 years, the [[Charaka Samhita]] and its predecessor, the Agnivesha Tantra have provided a wealth of knowledge on managing life, not just health and disease management. Sages and practitioners passed on this distilled knowledge by word-to-mouth for centuries. Over the course of this period, the environment around us has changed significantly – affecting us and the living beings around us. Habitats have changed rendering some creatures extinct or endangered, while others have adapted themselves or evolved. Further, social traditions have dictated changes to our dietary habits. However, the fundamental principles governing food, in general, remain the same, e.g., the role of ''agni'' (digestive fire), ''Prakriti'' (body constitution), ''rasa, guna, veerya, vipaka'' and ''prabhava'' (characteristics) of various foods. These fundamental principles can be applied today for healthy living. Newer articles of food like dhanya (paddy), shaka (vegetables), harita (greens), mamsa (meat), phala (fruits) and kritanna (cooked food or drinks) can be characterized and used by an experienced Ayurvedic physician. It is a herculean job to describe all the foods available all over the world and describe their ''rasa, guna, veerya, vipaka'' and ''prabhava'' (characteristics) but we have made a humble attempt to take the skeleton of the Chapter [[Annapanavidhi Adhyaya]] as it is and try to enter the newer articles as per Ayurvedic perspective.

An old saying states "if you took fourteen greens (greens means not only the leaf, also flower, fruits, ''nala'', tuber, and fungi) then you may survive from the strain of ''Kartika''" (the month of October and November). During this period, there is increased incidence of seasonal diseases. Though this chapter maintains chronological order according to the dietetic code, it has a special aspect for the alleviation of three ''doshas'', to achieve excellent ''dhatus'' (body tissues), and clear the micro and macro channels of the body.
