Ayurveda is the most ancient science of life; health and cure, practiced in India for thousands of years based on its own unique fundamental principles such as promotion of health, prevention of disease, promotion of longevity etc. Ayurvedic classics give special emphasis on three important values which have been considered as the important conducive factors for maintenance of life and health. This important triune consists of Ahara (food), Nidra (Sleep) and Brahmacarya (Good conduct). These three have been considered as Upastambha or the basis of life and health. Among traya-upastambha, Ahara (diet) has been considered as the first one which shows its importance. Intake of wholesome and unwholesome diet is responsible for prevention and production of various diseases respectively including life style disorders.
