Abstract

The incidence of lifestyle diseases associated with CVD is high on the rise. CVD continues to be the major cause of mortality representing about 30% of all deaths worldwide. With rapid economic development and the westernization of lifestyle in the past few decades, the prevalance of these diseases has reached an alarming proportion among Indians in recent years. Covid 19 and its impact on today's world is a challenge ahead. Cer-tain conduct such as wearing masks, sanitizing hands and surfaces, and social distancing is taken as major guidelines for the prevention of the spread of Covid 19. Acharya Charak has given a comprehensive account of the mode of a healthy and happy life. Acharya Sushruta considers a man healthy only when he is in a state of biological balance and enjoys sensorial, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Such a state of health can be achieved only by observing the rules of good conduct i.e., The mind and the body continuously interact and influence each other under the influence of environmental factors. If this is not controlled and moderated appropriately, it gives rise to pathological problems. Sadvritta is similar to the idea of Yama and Niyama described in the context of Yoga. Different kinds of emotions such as Kama, Krodh, etc. arise as a consequence of Manasadosavaisamya. Through the practice of Sadvritta, the sattva Guna prevails over Rajas and Tamas and thus preserves good phys-ical and mental health.
