Vd. Madhurani Balasaheb Garud* and Vd. Vrinda Kaknurkar

Abstract

Life style disorders are linked with the way people live their life. These diseases are outcome of our unhealthy choices. When I was studying these life style disorders I observed that unhealthy choices are occur during daily routine which is explained as Dincharya in Ayurveda. Now a days people lack in self discipline so divergence occur in Dincharya due to Pradnyaparadh. Dincharya is a concept that looks at the cycles of nature and bases daily activities around these cycles. Normal carcadian rhythms are very important in day to day life to maintain biological clock. Ayurveda suggest to begin daily habits with awareness, early rising (Pratahrutthan), avoid suppression of urges (Malotsarg), and eliminates waste as per urge, keep teeth cleaned (Dantadhavan), tongue scrapping (JivhaNirlekhana), Administration of drug in nasal cavity (Nasya), Kavala, Gandusha, Anjana, regular bathing (Snana), regular massage (Abhyang), Exercise (Vyayam). Unawareness in this Dincharya create life style disorders like constipation, Indigestion, acidity, skin diseases, Bodyache etc. Dincharya helps to establish balance in one's constitution, it also regularises a person's biological clock, aids digestion, absorption, assimilation and generates self esteem, discipline, peace, happiness, and longevity. There fore, one has to stay aware about this daily regimen for day to day promotion of health, boost immunity and prevention from life style disorders.
