Discipline with a Purpose: Dincharya for Lifelong Wellness

The Ayurvedic daily practices of Dinacharya, are related to biological time, which is connected  to hunger, thirst, sleep, cardiac rhythm, rate of respiration, secretion of particular neurotransmitters, hormones and digestive enzymes at certain times of the day. This daily biological clock is regulated by the hypothalamic area of the brain governing our circadian rhythm and it accounts for variations in our physiological and psychological behavior. The hypothalamus regularizes the personal body clock and aids digestion and metabolism. Building an appropriate daily routine allows one to live in harmony with the cycles of nature which brings self-esteem, peace, and longevity. 

Ayurveda is one of the sciences that gives great emphasis to Dinacharya, which needs to be customized according to the individual’s needs and is based on the person’s basic constitution as well as the present altered state of that constitution, the age, strength, the season and stress load. However there are general daily Ayurvedic practices that are a wonderful foundation to maintain health.

Dincharya, typically referred to as the daily routine, is the most essential part of our lives. In Ayurveda, maintaining a disciplined routine is crucial for achieving a healthy mind and body. The three states of the body, known as Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, should be balanced to achieve a perfect healthy mind, body, and soul. Acharya Manish Ji has explained in detail the methods and the benefits of having a disciplined Dincharya. In Ayurveda, the most valuable asset for any human being is good health, and Ayurvedic practices play a key role in achieving it.

Starting the day with a glass of warm water and life-saving remedies.

Starting the day with a glass of warm water and life-saving remedies.

Waking up early in the morning, between 4:30 am and 6 am, and drinking a glass of warm water in a squat position helps kick-start digestion. Acharya Manish Ji offers effective remedies for caring for our heart and liver. He recommends chewing a raw turmeric piece on an empty stomach to prevent cancer. Similarly, 10 to 12 curry leaves (kadi patta) are chewed to keep hemoglobin in check and to improve liver health. A piece of ginger is chewed to improve heart health. Once these remedies are done on an empty stomach, the internal organs get activated, which helps bring a clean bowl in no time. The body eliminates waste and toxins, and is ready for an active day.

Vital Replacements and Additions in Dincharya

Vital Replacements and Additions in Dincharya

According to Ayurveda, food derived from animals is considered harmful to one's health. Acharya Ji strongly advocates for adopting a plant-based diet. He suggests replacing dairy milk with almond, peanut, or coconut milk for better health and digestion. He recommends adding a mix of green juices, such as bitter guard, neem, coriander, curry leaves, basil leaves, spinach, aloe vera, and giloy, as well as red juices like pomegranate, beetroot, and carrot, to daily routines. These juices help strengthen the immune system and shield the body against diseases.

Plan the afternoons and evenings

Plan the afternoons and evenings

DIP diet plan in the afternoon is a great way to add nutrition to the body. It helps maintain weight and promotes overall health. A combination of seasonal fruits, salad, and millets is an excellent way to stay healthy and disease-free. Sitting in the Vajrasana position while eating meals can improve digestion and help alleviate gas and bloating. Acharya Ji advocates eating the last meal before sunset. He adds that this practice not only promotes good digestion but also builds up immunity. Not eating after sunset, typically from 8 pm to 10 am, is a type of fasting known as autophagy, which has been proven to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. Acharya ji says, “Self-healing starts in an autophagy state”. One can end the day with a breathing exercise or meditation, which helps achieve a peaceful sleep and recharge oneself for the next day.

The power of the circadian clock

The power of the circadian clock

According to Acharya Manish Ji, the body operates on a natural rhythm known as the circadian clock, a 24-hour internal cycle that regulates sleep, digestion, hormone levels, and overall energy levels. When aligned with natural light and daily routines, this clock helps boost immunity, enhance focus, balance mood, and support better metabolism. Disrupting it can lead to fatigue, stress, and chronic health issues. Respecting your circadian rhythm is the key to living in sync with nature and with yourself.
