A REVIEW OF THE AYURVEDA SIGNIFICANCE OF AHARA AND THE AHARA VIDHI VISHESHA AYATAN

Nowadays, lifestyle problems are one of the most pressing concerns facing the world. It's all due of our new way of life. Many studies have previously been undertaken, and more are being conducted presently to find a remedy for lifestyle problems. Finally, all studies show that changing one's eating habits and adhering to a strict code of eating behaviour is the most successful treatment. Health, according to Ayurveda, is defined as the balance of Dosha, Agni, Dhatu, and Mala, as well as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This definition of health is in coherence with WHO’s definition of Health as “A state of Physical, mental, Social and spiritual wellbeing and not merely an absence of disease”. The most basic requirement for a healthy existence is enough nourishment. Ayurveda lays a strong focus on Ahara, believing that good diet feeds the body, mind, and soul.

Ayurveda provides some fundamental dietary rules and regulation in form of AharaVidhivisheshayatane, such as selecting appropriate foods, food combinations, cooking techniques, food quality and amount, consumer nature, geographical and environmental factors, and so on. It provides a good sense of what? When and why? What's the difference between how and which? Food should be consumed in order to maintain good health. Ayurveda says that Ahara is Mahabheshajya since thousands of years [1]. Effective Ahara is also essential for proper Jatharagni functioning [2]. In the therapy of these diseases, the traditional style of eating and serving food plays an essential role. A solid comprehension of these foundations will aid in the reduction of digestive pain caused by lifestyle disorders, as well as the noble objective of sustaining health.
