        abstract = {Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of holistic health, views food as a primary means of achieving balance in both physical and mental well-being. Its foundational principles emphasize personalized dietary guidelines tailored to individual body types, seasonal changes, and daily routines, with the goal of maintaining harmony through diet. Ayurveda promotes immunity, digestion, and vitality by focusing on the natural potency, taste balance, and therapeutic qualities of food. As consumer demand for natural, health-enhancing food grows, there is strong alignment between Ayurvedic principles and modern food innovations. Ingredients like turmeric, ashwagandha, and amla exemplify the adaptability of Ayurvedic herbs, providing benefits such as immune support, anti-inflammatory effects, and stress relief, which are now popularized in a variety of food products. However, challenges remain in merging traditional Ayurveda with modern technology, including the need for standardization, regulatory compliance, and educating consumers on Ayurvedic dietary concepts. Despite these challenges, Ayurveda offers a robust foundation for developing innovative and health-focused dietary solutions tailored to modern lifestyles. This article explores how Ayurvedic knowledge can inspire contemporary dietary solutions, particularly in developing functional food and nutraceuticals that support specific health outcomes, ultimately bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary nutritional science.},
