Ayurveda believes in maintaining the energy levels of the food. Refrigeration of food destroys energy. The energy loss is more than when the food is cooked. The energy loss of food can affect metabolic activity and can lead to the development of cancer. Only those who have weak metabolic systems are affected this way. The element ‘Agni’ the fire takes care of the proper secretion of hormones that can remove the coldness of the refrigerated food. This is also capable of eliminating the toxins in the body. The general advice to prevent cancer is to
