Abstract

The primary cause of death worldwide has shifted in the recent century from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases. The public health systems continue to face difficulties as a result of outbreaks of communicable diseases. It is acknowledged that changes in human behaviour and lifestyle are risk factors for the current public health issues, which have a substantial impact on wellness and quality of life. In addition to helping to prevent and treat diseases, leading a healthy lifestyle is essential for promoting overall wellbeing. Evidence-based methods for managing one's lifestyle have been made available by modern medicine, yet doing so successfully presents difficulties. The traditional practices of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Meditation appear promising as complementing methods to promote social welfare. The author puts up a fresh viewpoint and model dubbed "Integrative Lifestyle" that is based on data from both contemporary and conventional methods of lifestyle management. Ayurveda has made significant contributions to both the prevention and treatment of ailments. A healthy lifestyle might include behaviour that are outlined in depth in Ayurveda, such as Dincharya (conducts during the day), Ratricharya (conducts during the night), Ritucharya (seasonal conducts), Ahara Vidhi (diet guidelines), and Sadvritta (excellent conducts), among others.
