LIFESTYLE or  Dinacharya

Ayurveda is all about balance in lifestyle. A healthy mind lives in a healthy body. What do you think affects how you feel physically and what you drink and eat leaves an effect on your mind.

LIFESTYLE or  Dinacharya is a Sanskrit word made up of ‘dina’ meaning day and ‘acharya’ meaning activity. So dinacharya is a daily routine designed to maintain and connect us to our circadian rhythms or the internal body clock.

Following Dincharya according to Prakriti has benefits like:

Helps in balancing doshas

Helps in digestion

Inculcates discipline

Promotes peace, happiness, and longevity

Ayurveda emphasized the importance of a connection with nature for millennia. The disconnection from the circadian rhythms is called chronodisruption, It has been linked to a host of health concerns, including poor cognitive function, mood and sleep disorders, diabetes, obesity, daytime sleepiness, reduced school performance, substance abuse, heart disease, and some cancers.

Ayurveda tells us that on any given day, there are two cycles of change that exist- the sun cycle and the moon cycle- and they are connected with the Ayurvedic Body Type or doshas (vata, pitta or kapha).

Dinacharya makes us understand the best time for our daily routine like waking, exercise, bathing, meditation, prayer, meals, study, work, relaxation, and sleeping. This is necessary to maintain a healthy body, mind, and soul.
