It includes dietary habit, the nature of his work, exercise, hobbies and leisure time activities. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. No such concept appears to be present in contemporary medical practices although a lot of importance has been given to dietary regulations and exercisein prevention and management of non-communicable diseases such as ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus. The present study had been undertaken to collect modern scientific evidences in support of Dinacharya(daily regimen) mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts and its role in preventing non communicable diseases.
