Ahara- Diet and dietary regimen: An inappropriate and unbalanced diet is the main reason behind the lifestyle disorders in the body. The ample growth and maintenance of the body mostly depend on an optimum and balanced diet. There is a long list of wholesome diet illustrated in Ayurveda.

The selection of the diet of an individual as per bodily constitution is important to maintain optimum health. The diet should be simple, easily digestible, and optimum in quantity. Overeating and consumption of unbalanced diets / tamasa and rajas diets should be avoided because these diets can cause excess overload on the digestion system and metabolic process of the body.

Nidra- Proper rest: Nidra is the Hindi word for Sleep. It is another essential requirement for optimum health. Good sleep is an important factor for the preservation of health.

One should control or suppress urges of grief, greed, fury, fear, pride, shamelessness, excessive passion, and envy. An individual should practice self-control to avoid being bugged done by negative desires.

Vihara: It includes different types of dos and don’ts in our lifestyle. It suggests abstaining from the factors that cause mental agony. It is not that what we eat kills us, it is what that eats us and that kills you.

Vyayama (Exercise): It is an important part of a daily regimen. 

Moderate physical exercise provides steadiness, lightness, and fortitude in the body. To promote physical and biological strength, it is essential to do regular physical activity daily.
