Agni, the digestive fire in Ayurveda, is considered essential for maintaining physical health, mental well-being, and overall vitality. In Ayurvedic philosophy, a balanced Agni is key to the proper functioning of metabolism, digestion, and the transformation of food into energy and nutrients. However, when Agni becomes imbalanced, it leads to the formation of toxins (Ama), which are the root cause of various chronic diseases. The practice of Dinacharya, an Ayurvedic daily regimen, offers a systematic approach to regulate Agni and prevent the onset of chronic diseases by aligning lifestyle practices with natural rhythms. This paper explores the significance of Agni in Ayurveda, the role of Dinacharya in regulating Agni, and how these principles can be applied to prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders. By examining the Ayurvedic perspective on health and disease prevention, this paper aims to highlight the potential benefits of integrating Agni regulation through Dinacharya into modern healthcare systems.
