Abstract

Ayurveda is a lifestyle science which focuses on how to lead a healthy life along with the curative aspects. Aahar (food) is the most important aspect of human life. Ayurveda has also described the importance of food by including it in the “Trayopasthambha” i.e., three important pillars of human life, which are Aahar (food), Nidra (sleep) and Bramacharya (Abstinence). Aahar decided the health status of human being. Physical and mental health, Oja, complexion, longevity and energy come from the consumed Aahar. Ayurveda describes various concepts regarding healthy living such as: Dincharya, Ritucharya, Yogasana and many concepts regarding proper diet are also described in Ayurveda such as: Viruddha Aahar, Aahar Vidhi etc. Considering importance of Aahar, present article deals with detailed study of Aahar Vidhi i.e., diet regimen described by Aacharya Vagbhat along with the modern take on it.
