Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct matching is:
- Excessive intake of Madhura Rasa (sweet taste) leads to Sanyasa, Gandmala, and Arbuda.
- Excessive intake of Katu Rasa (pungent taste) leads to Sukra Kshaya, Bala Kshaya, and Vyatha in the lower back (kati and prshta).
- Excessive intake of Tikta Rasa (bitter taste) causes Vata
-related disorders and Dhatu Kshaya.
- Excessive intake of Amla Rasa (sour taste) leads to conditions like Kandu, Pandu, and Visarpa. These matchings are important for understanding the Ayurvedic approach to dietary habits and their effects on the body.
