The three chronic diseases  do not just go away. With dietary risk as the foundation, eating habits must be changed.

Ayurveda teaches you must eat according to your Ayurveda body type. If the changes are not made these illnesses get worse over time.

Chronic disease in Ayurveda is described an avarana, it means an imbalance starts another imbalance and then becomes even a third and fourth problem leading to advanced chronic disease.

Modern Science says it this way:

In the brilliantly written book, The Disease Delusion by Dr. Jeffery S. Bland, the father of functional Medicine, teaches that, "Chronic conditions, after all, start with a subtle changes in function that can precede the diagnosis of a disease by decade."
