Conclusion
Pollution-driven food contamination poses a major threat to health by disturbing metabolic, immunological, and detoxification pathways. Ayurveda and modern science converge on the fundamental understanding that polluted food weakens systemic resilience and promotes disease. Integrated preventive strategies focusing on environmental protection, dietary purification, metabolic strengthening, and sustainable agriculture are urgently needed.
