When digestive fire becomes too strong; it starts by cooking food; when food is no longer available, it digests doṣas; when doṣas run out, tissues (dhātus) are digested; when tissues too are digested, death follows.19

An individual consuming food as he likes and living happily without bothering to reflect on the incompatibilities, combination, processing, etc., of food should know that his happy life is made possible by the strength of his digestive fire. Therefore, it is incumbent on eveiyone to safeguard the digestive fire by all means because when it is dominated by doṣas, the individual becomes ill; when it is lost, he dies; when it is in the normal state, he leads a long and healthy life.20
