Lifestyle Disorder
The lifestyle that most of you lead might be really ‘cool’ and help you fill up your bank balance well, but this lifestyle in itself is a disorder. Unhealthy dietary habits, irregular sleep cycles and overdependence on technology has resulted in lifestyle diseases seeing an upward spike.
Problems like hypertension, overweight issues or obesity-related issues which give rise to multiple cardiovascular problems and many others are all associated with the term ‘Lifestyle Disorders’.
Ayurveda with lots of potential for prevention
In the management of lifestyle diseases, Ayurveda offers various regimens including Dinacharya (daily regimen), Ritucharya (seasonal regimen), Panchakarma (five detoxification and bio-purification therapies), and Rasayana (rejuvenation) therapies. The Sadvritta (ideal routines) and Aachara Rasayana (code of conduct) are utmost important to maintain a healthy and happy psychological perspective. The inclusive utilization of all these treatment modalities has a great effect on lifestyle disorders. Moreover, the application of organ-specific Rasayana herbs also provides enough scope not only for prevention of disease, but also for the promotion of health and cure of disease too.
