Since ancient times, it has been established that it is always better to prevent illness rather than letting it happen. Ayurvedic texts give us a deep insight into the inner realms of a healthy lifestyle. They not only define the diet regime for a healthy person but also the role of exercise, yoga, pranayam, and many other day to day activities. Over the years these principles have evolved to become more apt in current scenario. Even the western world has now acknowledged the influence of ayurvedic principles in one's life.
