Abstract

Ayurveda's Prayojana strives to protect the health of the healthy and cure issues  caused by disease. Numerous factors might affect one's health and  susceptibility to diseases. As the Acharyas had said, the Triupstambha (three  sub pillars) of Ahara, Nidraand Brahmacarya support the body itself. In this  case, Ahara is named first, showing how important it is to protect and sustain  life. A healthy life requires adequate nutrition, yet one cannot benefit fully from  the food they consume if they do not follow suitable dietary standards. Acharya  Charak provided Aharavidhividhan (dietary recommendations), which can stop  many diseases from developing purely as a result of poor dietary practises. Each  factor's scientific basis is described. If the Aharavidhividhana is properly  practised, it contributes to better health and a longer life. Additionally important  are the Aahara intake's timing, location, volume, and mode. If taken properly,  Aahara promotes healthy body development; however, if taken incorrectly, it  can cause a number of problems. As a result, Aharavidhividhanais crucial for  both the disease's cause and its treatment.
