        abstract = {Ayurveda is an ancient science which focus more on preventing lifestyle diseases rather than just treating them. “Swasthasya swathya rakshanam aturasya vikar prashamanam ch”.(1) For prevention of disease, it offers various niyam/rules related to Ahara (diet), Vihara (daily habits), Achara (conduct), and Vichara (thoughts), as described in different classical Samhitas. As per such comes "Ritu charya", which literally means acharan to be followed according ritu/season. It helps the body to adapt according seasonal changes. Each Ritu/season causes changes in the levels of Doshas in the body.  These seasonal changes deliberately affect the body and disturb its natural equilibrium, as explained in the concept of Prakruti-Purusha Samyata Siddhanta. If a person fails to follow the seasonal guidelines properly, it can lead to Dosha imbalance in the body, which may result in lifestyle diseases. Therefore, it is important to understand and follow Ritucharya according to the changes in each season. The different food and lifestyle regimens stated in the classics of Ayurveda and their significance on lifestyle problems have been explored in this review article.},
