Adolescence is the age of major physical, intellectual, and emotional growth. Youth – the critical phase of life, is a period of major physical, physiological, psychological, and behavioral changes with changing patterns of social interactions and relationships. Youth is the window of opportunity that sets the stage for a Healthy and productive adulthood and to reduce the likelihood of health problems in later years. To make this transition smoother, Ayurveda offers practical advice on how to take advantage of the characteristics of this age and create healthier and happier teens.

Most young people are presumed to be healthy but, as per WHO, an estimated 2.6 million young people die each year and a much greater number of young people suffer from illnesses ‘behaviours’ which hinder their ability to grow and develop to their full potential. Nearly two-thirds of premature deaths and one-third of the total disease burden in adults are associated with conditions or behaviours initiated in their youth (e.g. tobacco use, physical inactivity, high-risk sexual behaviours, injury and violence and others).

Know the Ayurveda‘s objective

“Svasthasya svasthya rakshanam”: protection, preservation, and promotion of the health of the healthy. No other medical science today speaks of maintaining the health of healthy people as one of its objectives. Also, “Vikara prashamanam”: pacifying the disease of the diseased. Of Ayurveda’s significance, Charakacharya states:

“The wise regard the science of life as the supreme science, because it teaches mankind what constitutes good in both worlds, here and hereafter. That is the importance of Ayurveda.”

How The Ayurveda Way leverage Your with a Healthy Corporate Life

Ayurveda has different treatments for different diseases, which are well established and consistent over the period. Multiple therapeutic approaches exist in Ayurvedic medical science such as Shodhana, Nidan Parivarjan, Shamana, Rasayana, Pathya vyavastha, and Satvajaya.

Shodhana therapy is a type of purification treatment where toxic factors are eliminated from foods by the application of various unit operations. Peeling, polishing, sorting, cleaning, cleaning, sifting, straining, de-husking, washing, and distillation are different techniques used in Shodhana therapy. According to Shodhana therapy, the unit operations are designated with different nomenclatures like frying process of Hingu(Asafoetida) with ghee to eliminate moisture is called Bharjana. Cleansing and sifting of cumin and mustard seeds are known as Virechana. Removal of ginger (Zingiber officinale) outer skin through washing is known as Svedana. This therapy not only removes the impurities but also improves the nutritional value of foods.

Nidan Parivarjan treatment mainly considers avoiding of known causative factors for a disease. The causative factors are mainly classified into four categories in Ayurveda, namely Asaratmaka Nidana (dietary), Viharatmaka Nidana (regimens), Manas Nidana (psychological), and Anya Nidana (others). Overeating, over nourishing (Santarpana), heavy food, sweet food (Madhura), cold diet (Sheetha), meat (Mamsa), and unctuous food (Snigdha) are some of the dietary factors for obesity.

Shamana therapy is a palliative treatment that involves restoring of imbalanced doshas (humor) to a normal state without affecting or impairing of other doshas. In order to restore the doshas, appetizers, exercise, digestives and exposure to fresh air, sun, meditation, and fasting are performed.

Rasayana therapy is an immunomodulator and rejuvenation medicine-based treatment. This therapy aims to improve body immunity to different diseases. All rasayanas, in general, are nutrition promoters that act through three primary mechanisms. They are Rasa enhancers, Agni enhancers, and Srotas. Rasa enhancers have direct nutrient effects, Agni enhancers promote digestion power, and Srotas promotes nutrient circulation. Aswagandha, curcumin, garlic, ginger, and neem play significant roles in Rasayana therapy. Rasayanas are also organ and tissue-specific, classified as Medhya Rasayana (brain treatment), Hridaya Rasayana (heart treatment), Twacya Rasayana (skin treatment), and Caksusya Rasayana (eye treatment).

Pathya vyavastha treatment mainly emphasizes on diet, activity, habits, and emotional status of the mind and body. Ayurveda considers food as the first and foremost tripod (food, sleep, brahmacharya) of life. Hence, a proper diet should be considered, which is essential for good health and healthy body functions. Pathya vyavastha mainly gives knowledge about foods in different diseases. It is done with the view of enhancing the therapeutic effect of diet, which stimulates the digestion power, and helps in digestion and assimilation of food.

Mental health is essential for a healthy person. Stimulation of patient mind helps in relaxation through the reduction in stress and indirectly improves other body activities. As per Ayurveda, proper food selection and dietary schedule help to control the mind and consequently maintain holistic health and happiness.

Intelligent food for an intelligent mind

Corporate life is hectic, isn’t it? Most of us ruin the routine of fuel for life, which makes a huge impact physically as well as psychologically. So, better to keep stillness inside of you in the midst of movement and chaos of life else follow the below:

Four meals a day are recommended for teenagers, with the main meal at noon. They should not overeat even if they are very hungry because undigested food can create ama – toxins that will aggravate Pitta. Drinking plenty of water during the day is a good habit to start early. Water cools and balances Pitta and detoxifies the body.

In addition to boosting circulation and metabolism, exercise enhances immunity and endurance. Yoga asanas are ideal because they not only tone the muscles but stimulate the functioning of internal organs. Maharishi Ayurveda recommends Organic Premium Amla Berry, an excellent supplement for muscle growth and vitality.

Youngsters can greatly benefit from practicing Transcendental Meditation, which increases IQ, enhances learning ability, increases mental clarity and calm the mind and body. The Intelligence Plus (formerly Study Power) herbal formula also helps with learning new information.

Mental and intellectual development is also accelerated by Pitta. To nourish the brain, one should eat almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds, milk, ghee and olive oil, and sweet juicy fruits.
