People now eat to treat their taste buds more than to take care of their health. They are even ready to try combination of foods that Ayurveda states as contradictory combos. As per Ayurveda, regular consumption of contradictory food may cause skin diseases and arthritis. You can improve your immunity and lead a happy and long life by following some strict food habits.
