Dr. Swati N. Khandale, Dr. Mukund Sonavane

Abstract :

Charak Samhita, have narrated the effect of specific thought– behavior–lifestyle pattern (Achar Rasayan) on health. It emphasizes that lifestyle code has rejuvenatory properties. It has been stated that the medicine dependant methods will show their rejuvenating effect only after following comprehensive lifestyle code. Mechanism of action or physiological aspects of such measures remained in disguise until recently. Recent studies by eminent researchers like Nobel laureate Elizabeth Blackburn, Dean Ornish & Dr. Khalsa have shown the very existence of telomerase and its normal activity as an enzyme is a biological boon for life at micro level. The life style code, and in some studies even the specific thought pattern in form of meditation have significantly associated with optimum telomerase activity. Life style based preventive program has shown improvements in biological markers of malignancies. Given all this, such drugless lifestyle based rejuvenatory approach holds great promises for prevention & even therapy of cancer
