Bone & Joints
These modern times call for long hours in front of screens thus ignoring the basic entities required for our survival- food, water and sunlight. Deprival of food and water is manifested quickly in the form of growling stomach and parched throat but unfortunately the lack of sunlight sluggishly reveals itself in the form of low Vitamin D levels thereby resulting in weak bones and achy joints.
Moreover, under the influence of fad diets, a lot of people go on fat-free diets thus eliminating oil & ghee from their plates, completely overlooking the fact that Vitamin D (along with Vitamins A, E & K) is a fat-soluble vitamin and will only get absorbed by the body in presence of good fats. Our bad posture acts like an icing on the cake and we are doomed with musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders like cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, sciatica etc.
According to Ayurveda, lifestyle mistakes like junk and dry (oil-free) foods, improper sleep, staying in air-conditioned rooms for long hours, consumption of stale and cold foods like ice creams and cold drink can contaminate the Vata Dosha. This vitiated Vata further impairs its abode i.e Asthi Dhatu (bones) thus resulting in a myriad of diseases.
