Title: The Wake-Up Call:Story of a Healthy eating habit

Rahul, a young man who had a busy job and lived in a bustling city with busy schedules and had a dreamy career. His days were filled with meetings, emails, and stress to meet deadlines, leaving him little time for self-care or paying attention to his health.

Fast food and energy drinks became his go-to choices, and he rarely found time to exercise or eat nutritious meals. His friends and family were concerned, but Rahul brushed off their worries, convinced that success came at a price.

It was a quite similar day for him as he rushed to yet another meeting, Rahul felt a sudden sharp pain in his stomach. He dismissed it as indigestion and continued with his hectic schedule, unaware that his body was sending him a warning signal.

The pain persisted and began affecting his work performance. He found it hard to concentrate and often felt fatigued. Frustration grew within him as his health became an obstacle to his ambitions.

One evening, in the Mansoon month of July after a particularly exhausting day in Kerala, Rahul accidentally heard an Ayurvedic wellness event while waiting in a Hotel lobby near by seminar hall.

Curiosity was piqued, and he decided to attend. There, he listened to a wise Ayurvedic practitioner speaking about the importance of understanding one's body and digestive capacity.

He recited a sloka from Astanga Samgraha

"Patre pushpe pale nale kande cha gurutha Kramath"

The Ayurvedic practitioner was taking a workshop for restaurant chefs about recipes in Karkidaka chikita (special monsoon regimens)in Kerala Ayurvedic treatment. He exampled the benefits of “Pattila Curry” in Karkidaka Chikitsa when digestive capacity tends to diminish.
