our digestive system: Today majority of the urban population are
affected by IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) caused by the restaurant food. The IBS is caused by the aggravation of pitta(one of the tridoshas) in the Body. The dietary
fibre in sapota relieves us from this IBS and eradicates constipation.

can be prevented by taking antioxidant rich foods. The Antioxidants in sapota
stabilizes the free radicals and protects our organs.
