मात्राशी सर्वकालं स्यान्मात्रा ह्यग्नेः प्रवर्तिका। मात्रां द्रव्याण्यपेक्षन्ते गुरूण्यपि लघून्यपि॥१॥

sanskrit

Right Amount of Food – Aharamatra Apeksha: One should always consume proper quantity of food. Right amount of food activates Agni – digestion power (which is compared to fire, in Ayurveda). Food that are light to digest (laghu) and those that are hard to digest (Guru) both require a specified quantity for proper digestion.

english translation
