A Comprehensive approach to Daily Routine with Respect to the Concept of Dincharya

Abstract

Lifestyle simply means “the way in which person lives”. The daily activities of  person since he wakes up to fall asleep are included in this. It includes dietary habit,  the nature of his work, exercise, hobbies and leisure time activities. Health is a state  of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of  disease or infirmity. No such concept appears to be present in contemporary  medical practices although a lot of importance has been given to dietary regulations  and exercise in prevention and management of non-communicable diseases such  as ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus. The present study had been  undertaken to collect modern scientific evidences in support of Dinacharya (daily  regimen) mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts and its role in preventing non  communicable diseases.
