Lifestyle disorders refer to diseases that arise from modern lifestyles rather than communicable diseases. They result from lack of attention to the body's needs, unhealthy eating habits like excess junk food, and an unhealthy lifestyle with excessive alcohol, smoking, wrong work habits, and inability to handle stress. Ayurveda aims to not just treat diseases but promote overall wellness of the mind, body, and spirit. It uses preventive measures like recommendations on diet and lifestyle as well as curative therapies like Panchakarma to manage lifestyle disorders and maintain psychosomatic equilibrium.
