  • Abstract:
  • Ayurveda identifies vyayam (exercise) as an essential component of daily routine (dinacharya) for preserving health, delaying ageing, and preventing disease. The concept of swasthya lakshana (indicators of health) describes not merely the absence of illness but a state of complete balance of dosha, dhatu, mala, and agni, along with clarity of mind, stability of senses, and inner contentment (prasannatmendriya manah). Classical texts repeatedly highlight the benefits of regular and moderate physical activity, while cautioning against overexertion. With the rise of lifestyle disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, the ancient wisdom regarding vyayam remains profoundly relevant. This review examines Ayurvedic descriptions of vyayam, its role in determining health parameters, and its resonance with modern exercise physiology and preventive medicine.
