The human body's spine serves as its pillar, allowing for mobility, flexibility, and support. According to ayurveda, general health depends on having a strong spine. In order to support the neural system, prevent degeneration, and preserve spinal health, proper diet and nutrition are essential. Ayurveda places a strong emphasis on eating foods that support Majja Dhatu (nervous tissue), balance Vata dosha, and strengthen Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue).
