Abstract

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, disorders such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, insomnia, and stress have become widespread due to irregular routines and unhealthy habits. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers practical and preventive solutions through the concepts of Dinacharya (daily routine) and Ritucharya (seasonal regimen). Dinacharya encourages a structured day that aligns with natural biological rhythms including early rising, self-cleansing, exercise, meditation, and proper diet to promote balance and vitality. Ritucharya guides individuals to adapt their food, behaviour, and habits according to seasonal changes, thereby enhancing immunity and preventing disease. Together, these time-tested Ayurvedic principles foster physical health, mental stability, and spiritual harmony, serving as effective tools to prevent lifestyle disorders and support holistic well-being.
