The relevance of Swasthavritta in managing lifestyle disorders cannot be overstated. According to Ayurvedic texts like the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, health is a state of equilibrium among the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the seven dhatus (tissues), and the three malas (wastes), along with a balanced mind and senses. Lifestyle disorders disrupt this equilibrium due to improper ahara (diet), vihara (lifestyle), and achara (conduct). Swasthavritta provides a framework to restore balance, promoting longevity, vitality, and disease-free living. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in Ayurveda for lifestyle management. Research indicates that incorporating Swasthavritta principles can reduce the incidence of NCDs by up to 80% through preventive measures. For instance, studies on obesity highlight how Swasthavritta's holistic approach—addressing diet, activity, and mental well-being—offers sustainable weight management without relying solely on medications. Similarly, for diabetes and hypertension, routines like dinacharya (daily regimen) and ritucharya (seasonal regimen) help regulate metabolic functions and blood pressure.
