EFFECT OF DINACHARYA (DAILY REGIMEN) IN PREVENTION OF PREMATURE AGING

Lifestyle of an individual is changing rapidly in today’s era. Tremendous workloads, stressful & lengthy work hours & unhealthy atmosphere is the scenario seen right from schools, colleges to offices & work areas. This ultimately adds up to the health of an individual. A survey study was conducted to study the effect of modern lifestyle in “Premature Aging” which revealed very informative & to the point causations. A scientific questionnaire (Dinacharya Patrak) was prepared after literary review. Data was collected on various aspects of Dinacharya & Lifestyle with the help of survey study using Dinacharya Patrak. Collected data was screened, classified & analysed to study the lifestyle patterns & their effects on health of an individual. After the interim & statistical analyses data was used for presenting the observations & discussions. Results showed that altered lifestyle has decreased the quality & quantity of life. It also showed how some miss-understandings carried by a lay-man about the concepts of Ayurveda lead to unhealthy life. The need of an appropriate Dinacharya is clearly seen after the survey & analysis, for the better & healthy future. The detail study reports & observations are discussed in the paper.
