The concept of indulging in food and activities contrary to the environmental conditions and constitutions of an individual is a part of swasthavritta vidhi. This has been described in (Cha.Su. 7/50, Cha. Vi. 5/23 and Cha.Su.26/8). Interestingly, the samprapti (pathogenesis) of rajayakshma includes all the above mentioned conditions as etiological factors.
