The burning issue of present scenario is mismanaged life style and its related disorders. As per WHO’s data, physical inactivity is responsible for 6% of deaths globally.

All these lifestyle-related disorders are nothing but the santarapana-janyavyadhis as mentioned in Ayurvedic literatures. These disorders include obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiac disorders, joint disorders etc. Understanding the importance of Vyayama, both in swastha-rakshana and vikara-prashmana, all ancient scholars have explained its concept under dincharya regimens for maintenance of health and as a type of niragnisweda for the cure of diseases. This article emphasizes on the functional aspect of Vyayama to explain how it influences the physiology of human body and pathology of diseases.
