Abstract

As environmental properties change with the season, it influences our Tridosha  constitution. Ayurveda described 6 Ritu(season) and described ritu charya(seasonal regimen) for living a healthy lifestyle which is necessary for a  healthy life. The foremost principle of Ayurveda tantra is to keep individuals  healthy, this is an important aspect of preventive medicine in Ayurveda texts.  Tridosha gets their different stages(gati) according to Ritu(season);  sanchaya(accumulation), prakopa(elevation) and prashamna(alleviation). So  particular ritu causes a particular effect on the dosha state, so when someone  follows a single diet and lifestyle regimen the whole year this may cause health  issues because lifestyle disorders are very common in the modern era and which  are originating from ignoring seasonal regimens and following the same or  opposite ahara-vihara. This causes Tridosha imbalance and normal physiology  changes into pathology as lifestyle disorders. In this article, various diet and  lifestyle modifications and regimens as per ayurvedic texts, as well as their  importance on lifestyle disorders are described.
