Abstract

Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, has gained global recognition not only for its therapeutic interventions but also for its emphasis on health preservation and disease prevention. Lifestyle diseases, which are largely the outcome of sedentary routines, improper diet, and harmful habits, are now among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. These disorders are potentially preventable through timely modifications in daily habits and by adopting holistic practices. Ayurveda provides a comprehensive framework for maintaining health through its principles of Dincharya (daily regimen) and Ritucharya (seasonal regimen), which guide individuals to live in harmony with natural cycles. The integration of pathya ahara (wholesome diet), adequate nidra (sleep), and stress management techniques such as Yoga and Meditation significantly contributes to the prevention and gradual recovery from lifestyle-induced disorders. Furthermore, the use of herbal medicines and Rasayana therapy offers rejuvenation and long-term protection against disease progression. By following these age-old guidelines, individuals can reduce the harmful effects of faulty lifestyle choices, restore balance of body and mind, and ensure sustainable well-being. Ayurveda thus serves as a practical, preventive, and promotive healthcare system, offering effective solutions for the modern epidemic of lifestyle diseases.
