All the things are thus in hand and efforts are minimized, and this compensation is paid on its behalf by impairing the immunity or resistance power of man. The energy resource which is gained by a man is only through the diet which is being ingested. Moreover, it is accompanied on a large scale by synthetic molecules in a number of forms as like antioxidants, nutritional supplements, cytokines, hormones and so on.

For proper production, storage and utilization of Ojas, it is essential to have a look on detail description of Ojas.
