Prakriti and Ageing: An Analytical Examination of the Impact of Personal Constitution on the Ageing Process and Lifestyle Adaptation

  • Unique Paper ID: 187503
  • PageNo: 5681-5684
  • Abstract:
  • Ageing (Jara) is a natural, gradual, and unavoidable biological process that involves the gradual breakdown of structural and functional integrity. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, views ageing through the concept of Prakriti, which refers to the distinctive psychosomatic constitution of an individual, composed of the three Tridoshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.Each Prakriti influences an individual's physical and mental characteristics, the rate of ageing, and the susceptibility to age-related diseases. This conceptual paper examines the correlation between Prakriti and the ageing process, evaluating both Ayurvedic and contemporary perspectives. It also talks about changes in behaviour, diet, and lifestyle that are unique to each person's constitution and can help them live longer and healthier lives.
