Lifestyle Disorders

Lifestyle disorders are health problems driven largely by how we live: long working hours, little movement, irregular meals, late nights and constant stress. They are very common in the UAE. Ayurveda has always placed daily routine (Dinacharya), seasonal routine (Ritucharya) and diet at the centre of health, which makes it a natural fit for preventing and managing these conditions alongside your regular medical care.

Common lifestyle-related concerns

• Weight gain and obesity – see Metabolic Disorders
• High blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure (supportive care alongside your doctor)
• Acidity, bloating and irregular digestion – see Digestive care
