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.

Results
The global prevalence of lifestyle disorders, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, is increasing. According to the International Diabetes Federation, the global prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase by 48% [3].
Ayurvedic management of lifestyle disorders involves dietary modifications (e.g., increasing consumption of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables), lifestyle changes (e.g., regular exercise, stress management), herbal remedies e.g., Turmeric, Guduchi, Ashwagandha, yoga, and meditation. Key Ayurvedic Herbs Several Ayurvedic herbs have potential benefits in managing lifestyle disorders, including: Turmeric (Curcuma longa):
anti-inflammatory properties [4] Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): adaptogenic and immunomodulatory effects [5] Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): stress-reducing and adaptogenic properties [6]. Triphala digestive and detoxifying effects [7]
Case Studies
Several case studies have demonstrated the successful Ayurvedic management of lifestyle disorders, such as diabetes and hypertension [8, 9].
Ayurvedic management offers a promising approach to managing lifestyle diseases.
Discussion
Ayurveda's holistic approach addresses the root causes of lifestyle disorders, promoting overall well-being. This approach aligns with the WHO's strategy for NCD prevention and control [2]. Ayurvedic management of lifestyle disorders has several potential benefits, including reducing the risk of complications, improving quality of life, and potentially reducing healthcare costs. While the existing literature suggests that Ayurvedic management may be beneficial for lifestyle disorders, there is a need for more rigorous research to establish the efficacy and safety of Ayurvedic management. Future studies should focus on conducting high-quality randomized controlled trials to evaluate the effectiveness of Ayurvedic interventions.
Conclusion
Ayurvedic management offers a promising approach to managing lifestyle disorders, emphasizing the importance of a holistic and personalized approach. Conclusion
