Abstract

The significance of dietary intake has been recognized since antiquity, as evidenced by its mention in ancient texts such as the Sri Bhagavad Gita and Ayurveda. Over time, the diversity of diets has increased, leading to a lack of order. Consequently, it is imperative to regulate dietary intake as necessary, and research has commenced to investigate treatments that incorporate naturopathy or other dietary regimens. This brief research essay endeavours to explore this topic by conducting an experimental study on individuals of varying ages and genders. The Pre-Questionnaire – Diet – Sample – Post Questionnaire format was employed in a study involving individuals with common obesity, diabetes, and arthritis, particularly knee pain. The concept of obesity was explored in relation to the associated disorders, including diabetes, which is considered the primary disease. The consumption of an improper diet at inappropriate times, coupled with psychological factors, can lead to fatal outcomes. Consequently, rheumatism is another disorder that is on the rise. To address these conditions, the study provided sample diets consisting of sattvic, rajasi, and tamasi diets as described in the Bhagavad Gita, as well as vegetarian, fruit-based, non-dietary, or fasting diets. Positive effects were observed in individuals with these disorders. Additionally, incorporating yoga, pranayama, and other naturopathic methods can yield expected results in a shorter timeframe.
