Dr. Manasa B.* and Dr. Abdul Khader

ABSTRACT

In today's fast-paced lifestyle, many individuals struggle to adhere to healthy and happy living principles, often due to lack of awareness or their personal, social, or professional commitments, which may lead to improper dietary and lifestyle choices. These factors result in premature aging and the onset of various lifestyle-related disorders. In 2018, the World Health Organization estimated that lifestyle disorders were responsible for 71% of global deaths. It is projected that by 2030, the prevalence of lifestyle disorders may rise to 67%, highlighting the urgent need for health promotion and preventive healthcare approaches.[1] In this context, Ayurveda assumes a crucial role in addressing curative, preventive, and promote aspects of health. It has two primary goals: maintaining the well-being of healthy individuals and treating diseases in those who are already affected. The primary focus is on implementing specific measures to maintain an individual's health such as dinacharya, rutucharya, sadvritta, a well-balanced diet, and a healthy lifestyle, along with the use of Rasayana. Rasayana tantra is a specialized branch of Ayurveda that primarily centers on preserving and enhancing health by revitalizing metabolism and boosting immunity. It is essentially a therapeutic approach designed to address both aging (jara) and diseases (Vyadhi), categorized into two types: swasthasya urjaskara and arthasya roganut. Rasayana aims to ensure not only a longer and healthier life but also mental well-being and resistance against various geriatric conditions and lifestyle-related disorders.
