According to the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda one of the root cause of many diseases is undigested food in the body. In Ayurveda this undigested material is termed as AMA

How AMA damages our health
The food that the body is not able to evacuate gets accumulated in the colon. Over time it becomes toxic and body absorbs a it.

This toxicity not only causes disease but impacts body's metabolism in a bad way. Whole digestive system is disturbed and hence results into malnutrition and diseases.

In our daily routine we over-eat and rarely give our digestive system a rest. (weekly fasting). As a result the digestive system becomes week and not able to digest food properly.
