Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The study of nutrition and diet is known as dietetics. It is the area of medicine that focuses on how diet is actually used in relation to health and illness. Diets are recommended for both healthy individuals and those who are ill. An individual's Prakriti determines their diet, whereas their disease's Doshapradhanyata determines their diet. Ayurveda's therapeutic concept is mostly centered on prevention rather than cure. Among Ahara, Nidra, and Brahmacharya. Aahara is known as the first pillar. According to the rules of Aharasevana, Patya-Apathya of the disease, and Ahara Vidhi Visheshayatana, many common health issues can be avoided. Food has therapeutic benefits in addition to being a vital source of nutrition, but it is especially crucial during the post-treatment phase to restore any strength that has been lost as because of the disease's negative impacts. The method we consume food affects our health just as much as the kind of food we eat. It is often known that "prevention is better than cure" and that a healthy, nutrient-dense diet is always recommended to avoid disease.
