The primary objective of Ayurveda is to maintain health, or in other words, to maintain homeostasis and attain excellence in health of body elements. Hence, before the disease manifests, it is equally important to make efforts for growth and improved strength of the body. Accordingly, the factors responsible for both these things have been discussed. The third important thing for good health is proper nutrition. It is imperative therefore to know the factors responsible for digestion of food and further assimilation of the ingested food into body elements. The discussion about these factors is followed by types of body elements, their building blocks and waste products. | The primary objective of Ayurveda is to maintain health, or in other words, to maintain homeostasis and attain excellence in health of body elements.
