ABSTRACT
The science of correctly combining food is greatly overlooked in the world of food and nutrition. But in this contemporary world several proponents of combined food eating procedures are followed till now. Mixing of wrong food leads to stomach upset, dyspepsia, bloating abdomen and other digestive ails. In Siddha literature “Noi illa Neri”enuciate that mixing of food having different potency and taste become poisonous. yet, it also describes every food substance has its own ill effect these are nullified by adding Chathru (antagonistic items). Correspondingly intake of incompatible food is on rise in present era. In this paper, we are supposed to identify some literature evidence based new food incompatibilities for 300 participants which are used on day-to-day life, based on Siddha perspective. This is nothing but the primordial prevention.
