We
must lead a rational and geo-climatically compatible lifestyle to stay
healthy. Faulty
lifestyle is the next important reason after wrong food habits for
deterioration of general
health condition of the population. Ayurveda attaches significant
importance to maintain
a proper lifestyle to envisage a long and healthy life. The concept of
lifestyle is reflected in Charya and Sadvritta of Ayurveda. Both
Dinacharya - daily routine and Ritucharya- seasonal routine prescribes
the preventive and remedial measures to be followed to keep us healthy
and delays the ageing process.
Dinacharya states the exhaustive roadmap and modus operandi of
daily routine activities like when to get up, brushing, defecation,
massage, bath, tongue cleaning, etc. following which one can stay
healthy for long time. Seasonal changes demands a great degree of
adaptability to counter the inevitable detrimental factors and thus one
needs to take specific measures to be able to adapt optimally and stay
healthy. These measures are specific for each season and collectively
are known as Ritucharya. If one sticks to these regimens then it is
unlikely to get
the seasonal diseases like common cold, viral fever, etc. Sadvritta or
code of conduct tells how to lead a civilized social life which is very
essential a better mental health. |
