Dear Vaibhav,
As you know, Ayurveda classifies serum, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow and semen as the major components of the body. The Ayurvedic concept of these ingredients is broad. Flesh, for example, includes the nerves, skin, tendons, membranes and glands.
In general, the normal weight body, which would be an Indian body living 2,000 years ago (probably about 56 kilos) contains 10 handfuls of water, 9 handfuls of serum, 8 handfuls of blood, 5 handfuls of fat, one handful of marrow and a half handful of semen. Besides these ingredients, the body also has quantities of by-products, such as bile and Oja (vital water), all of which should be in proportion. For example, there are about 5 handfuls of bile in the body, a half handful of Oja in the body, and 8 drops of Oja in the heart. Based upon this you can calculate normal amounts for anyone.
Best regards,
Alan
