Abstract:

Dinacharya, the Ayurvedic practice of daily routines, has long been a cornerstone of holistic health and wellness. Rooted in ancient Indian traditions, it emphasizes aligning daily activities with natural rhythms to maintain physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in incorporating Dinacharya principles into modern preventive healthcare. This abstract explores the relevance and potential benefits of integrating Ayurveda with contemporary health practices. By examining the holistic framework of Dinacharya, which includes morning rituals, diet, exercise, and sleep cycles, this paper aims to highlight how these ancient practices can complement and enhance modern healthcare models. In the context of rising lifestyle-related diseases such as stress, hypertension, and metabolic disorders, Dinacharya offers a preventive approach that emphasizes self-care and balance. The hypothesis is that adopting Ayurvedic daily routines can significantly improve health outcomes by addressing imbalances before they manifest as diseases. Through a review of Ayurvedic texts, modern scientific literature, and case studies, this paper examines the potential synergy between Ayurveda and modern preventive healthcare practices. Key areas of focus include the role of Dinacharya in stress reduction, metabolic health, and immune function. The goal is to present a comprehensive view of how these ancient practices can be adapted to address the challenges of modern living. Integrating Dinacharya into daily routines may provide individuals with practical tools for maintaining optimal health and preventing chronic diseases. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration between traditional Ayurvedic practices and modern healthcare systems.
