EFFECT OF JUNK FOOD ON RASA DHATU

Ayurveda explains health (Swasthya) in terms of the balance of Doshas, proper functioning of Agni, appropriate formation of Dhatus and Malas, and a settled state of the Atma, Indriya, and Manas. Among the seven Dhatus described in classical texts — Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, and Shukra — Rasa Dhatu is especially important because it is the first Dhatu formed after digestion. It is responsible for sustaining life by providing nutrition, vitality (Bala), mental clarity, emotional balance, complexion (Varna), and overall well-being (Prinana).
