Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the elderly population. The traditional Indian medical system, known as Ayurveda, provides a distinctive viewpoint on diagnosing and treating AD. Ayurveda states that a Vata dosha imbalance, along with Majja Dhatu (bone marrow or nervous tissue) in the cerebral cortex, causes the cortex and hippocampus to shrink and amyloid β plaques to develop, which progressively leads to AD. For optimum health, Ayurveda stresses the significance of eating a balanced diet (Ahara) and having a healthy digestive system (Agni). To guarantee balanced nutrition, the Ayurvedic diet adheres to particular dietary standards (Aharvidhivisheshayatan) and integrates six tastes (Shadrasa). Additionally, according to their main dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha). Ayurveda also categorizes individuals into three subgroups based on their dominant dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), each requiring specific dietary recommendations. The best diet for AD is said to be Sattvic, which is high in fresh fruits, vegetables, complete grains, dairy, and nuts. Because of their neuroprotective and cognitive-boosting qualities, whole foods like grains, legumes, fruits, nuts, spices, ghee, milk, and herbal supplements are advised. A balanced diet, spiritual activities, lifestyle changes, and Ayurvedic principles can all be included to provide a comprehensive approach to controlling AD and fostering mental health. By finding balance between three states (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), people can achieve spiritual development, mental and emotional health, and a holistic approach to mental well-being.

摘要

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the elderly population. The traditional Indian medical system, known as Ayurveda, provides a distinctive viewpoint on diagnosing and treating AD. Ayurveda states that a Vata dosha imbalance, along with Majja Dhatu (bone marrow or nervous tissue) in the cerebral cortex, causes the cortex and hippocampus to shrink and amyloid β plaques to develop, which progressively leads to AD. For optimum health, Ayurveda stresses the significance of eating a balanced diet (Ahara) and having a healthy digestive system (Agni). To guarantee balanced nutrition, the Ayurvedic diet adheres to particular dietary standards (Aharvidhivisheshayatan) and integrates six tastes (Shadrasa). Additionally, according to their main dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha). Ayurveda also categorizes individuals into three subgroups based on their dominant dosha (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), each requiring specific dietary recommendations. The best diet for AD is said to be Sattvic, which is high in fresh fruits, vegetables, complete grains, dairy, and nuts. Because of their neuroprotective and cognitive-boosting qualities, whole foods like grains, legumes, fruits, nuts, spices, ghee, milk, and herbal supplements are advised. A balanced diet, spiritual activities, lifestyle changes, and Ayurvedic principles can all be included to provide a comprehensive approach to controlling AD and fostering mental health. By finding balance between three states (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha), people can achieve spiritual development, mental and emotional health, and a holistic approach to mental well-being.
