Abstract

Lifestyle disorders such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic syndrome have emerged as major global health concerns. Sedentary habits, unhealthy dietary patterns, disturbed sleep, and psychological stress contribute significantly to their pathogenesis. Ayurveda emphasizes preventive healthcare through Dinacharya (daily regimen), a structured lifestyle framework described in classical texts including Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya. Practices such as early rising, oral hygiene, oil pulling, exercise (vyayama), massage (abhyanga), regulated diet, and proper sleep are designed to maintain physiological balance and prevent disease. This review critically examines the role of Ayurvedic daily regimen in preventing lifestyle disorders, correlating classical principles with modern biomedical evidence. The integration of Dinacharya into contemporary preventive medicine may offer a cost-effective and holistic approach to global health challenges (1–4).
