Abstract


Introduction: The best outcome of a healthy lifestyle is good health. When a person changes their daily routine or diet, it leads to a change in their overall lifestyle. In today's fast-paced world, many people choose a sedentary lifestyle and desk-based jobs. However, this can negatively impact their overall well-being and health. Ayurveda, with its extensive knowledge of Ahara (diet) and Vihara (lifestyle), provides valuable insights into understanding an individual's physical, mental, and social needs. It helps prevent the onset of illnesses by maintaining balance within the body. Therefore, incorporating regular exercise into our routines and understanding our unique dietary and lifestyle needs is a wise approach to achieving genuine health. Methods: This study provides a comprehensive explanation of Ahara (diet) and Vihara (lifestyle) in detail. It covers the origins of the term Ahara, guidelines for consuming food (Ahara Vidhi Vidhan), the proper quantity of food (Ahara Matra), the correct order for eating (Sequence of Ahara intake), and the tools used for eating (Ahara Vidhivisheshayatana). The study also highlights the importance of diet, lists the foods that should be preferred, and those that should be avoided according to Ayurveda. Regarding Vihara (lifestyle), the study includes basic information about lifestyle practices and outlines the steps for daily routines (Dinacharya) and seasonal routines (Rutacharya). Results: Applying the principles of Ahara (diet) and Vihara (lifestyle) from Ayurveda can help maintain a healthy life. With increased urbanization, there have been changes in diet and lifestyle, leading to various lifestyle diseases. Therefore, it is crucial for people to recognize the importance of proper diet and lifestyle by adopting the Ayurvedic practices mentioned, to achieve and maintain good health. Conclusion: Having proper knowledge and scientifically applying the principles of Ahara (diet) and Vihara (lifestyle) from Ayurveda is essential for maintaining good health.
