Abstract ABSTRACT
Background- Ayurveda, Ahara (diet) is regarded as one of the Upastambha (pillars) of life, playing a crucial role in maintaining health and preventing disease. An improper diet disturbs the body's functions, leading to various disorders. Ahara not only nourishes the body but also supports vitality, complexion, and overall well-being through the proper functioning of Jatharagni (digestive fire). Methods- The literary review from classical Ayurvedic texts, modern books and journals like Goggle scholar, Research gate, PubMed. Discussion- The comprehensive and unique approach to nutrition offered by Ayurvedic dietary recommendations is consistent with several contemporary scientific discoveries. By combining these ideas with what is currently known about nutrition, diet-related health problems including diabetes, obesity, and digestive diseases may have long-term remedies. For these traditional methods to be validated and optimized for use worldwide, further multidisciplinary research is required. Conclusion-Diet is the foundation for health, longevity, and vitality in Ayurveda. Diet plays a pivotal role in maintaining health.
