Description

The changed living habits due to increasing job requirement, sedentary lifestyle and competitive living are the main culprits coming in the way of golden rules of good living. People who fall victims to this new phenomenon get trapped with certain diseases at a younger age. These are called lifestyle disorders because of the reason that the diseases associated with this are limited to people who adopt unhealthy and inappropriate lifestyles.

Lifestyle diseases are more prevalent in present era due to wrong eating habits, craving for unhealthy food, lack of physical exercise and irregular sleep pattern. Some of the common lifestyle diseases predominantly affecting the life of the people include hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, obesity, poor vision, arthritis etc Ayurveda believes that the lifestyle diseases are not restricted to particular organ or system. These diseases are caused due to inadequate, excessive or improper activities of body, mind and sense organs, and ignoring one’s own knowledge, intuition or common sense (Prajnaparadha)  According to Ayurveda ,one should follow  the three sub pillars of life (Trayopastambha)  ie, proper intake of healthy foods (Ahara), adequate rest or sleep (Nidra) and regulated sexual activities (Brahmacharya) for maintaining  healthy life.
