ABSTRACT

Life style diseases are defined as the diseases linked with the way people live their life. There are various causes, some are dietary and some are pertaining to the routine activities. In Ayurveda; Diwaswapn, Nava-annapan, Katu amla Dravya sevan are described as causes of life style disorders. Now days, people have spoiled their routine and lifestyle. For eg. In the dietary habits people consume fast food, alcohol, tinned and packed food and have changed their routine for example- going to bed late in the night, getting up late in the morning, smoking, chewing tobacco, using vehicles for small distances, inactive schedule as they hardly do exercise, excessive use of mobile phone, laptop etc. continuously, which in turn has been a drastic factor in giving stress to their body and brain. In Ayurveda, Ritucharya and Dincharya have been described by Aacharyas, which are vital for a healthy life style. We can make our life healthy, by practicing yoga in daily routine. Unhealthy life style causes many diseases for example- diabetes, hypertension, obesity, stress, insomania, heart disease and certain type of cancer. Some diseases are related to their occupations. Skin diseases are more common in occupational diseases, like contact dermatitis, Urticaria etc.
