Correct option is A
Ans. (a) Sol. "Mahabhog" refers to excessive energy consumption, particularly in the context of overeating and indulgence. It is often associated with the intake of high-calorie foods leading to obesity, metabolic disorders, and lifestyle-related health issues. In Ayurveda and traditional Indian health perspectives, excessive food intake beyond the body's needs is considered detrimental to health, as it disrupts digestive balance and energy regulation.
Explanation of Other Options:
·
(b) Energy metabolism: This refers to the process of converting food into energy, but Mahabhog specifically denotes excessive consumption, not metabolism.
·
(c) Digestive disorder: Overeating may lead to digestive disorders, but Mahabhog itself is not a disease; it is a behavioral pattern of excessive eating.
·
(d) Maintaining energy balance: Mahabhog represents imbalance, not energy regulation, as it leads to overconsumption beyond the body's requirements.
