Diseases Prevention in Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda the two main areas that affect our health
and wellness are the foods we eat and the lifestyle we live.
By changing our nutritional protocol and lifestyle, we can
greatly influence our Physical, mental, and emotional health.
Ayurvedic
Factors related to food:
Food should be fresh, hot, usually cooked, tasty and easy
to digest.
There should be at least four hours difference between two
meals.
Do not eat too many items in one meal. And the items taken
in one meal should not be contradicting one other. For example,
yoghurt and milk or ice cream and hot coffee.
If you feel tired or heaviness in stomach after eating, this
is improper eating. Eat according to your digestive power.
Do not eat while watching television or while reading. Eat
in peaceful and pleasant surroundings.
Do not drink water one hour before or after the meals. But
can have it in small quantities with meals.
Ayurvedic
Factor Related to Sleep:
Proper regulated sleep is equally important to maintain a
balance of various functions in the body. Early to bed and
early to rise is the key to good health. For an average person
six hours of sleep is sufficient. Sleeping longer is a cause
of disease.
Regular
exercise:
Regular exercise according to your constitution is very beneficial
for good health. Yoga is advised as the best type of exercise
as it takes care of the physical, mental and spiritual health
Rasayan
Chikitsa:
Another important factor for maintaining good health and staying
active even in the old age is called rejuvenation therapy.So
a healthy person should take rejuvenating preparations to
maintain good health and stay young. There are many such Ayurvedic
preparations available which can be taken according to season
and your personal constitution. Good social conduct, morality,
good manners and good character are some other factors which
are necessary to stay away from diseases.Thus
Ayurveda approaches the complete individual while giving instructions
about maintaining the health.
