The prevention and management of disease involves many aspects like diet and lifestyle interventions (aahara-vihara), mental wellbeing (manas swasthya), moral conduct ([[sadvritta]]), rightful behaviour (aachara) and knowledge (dnyana-vidnyana).[Cha.Sa.[[Sharira Sthana]] 2/46-47] The benefits of three pillars of life i.e., dietary habits (aahaara), sleeping habits ([[nidra]]), and sexual life and moral conducts ([[bramhacharya]]) largely depend upon one’s intellect and conduct.[Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana]] 11/35] The three types of [[bala]] (strength and vitality) includes a type of acquired form (yuktikrita). This is achieved through dietetic and lifestyle measures.[Cha.Sa.[Sutra Sthana]] 11/36] It is opined that even the diet that is a daily necessity can cause different disease manifestations when not consumed in an appropriate manner, and its rightful consumption can prove to be the cause of wellness and vitality.[Cha.Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 24/59-60] The same principle can be applied for the usage of alcohol (madya) in the treatment of diseases, which can prove to be beneficial if consumed in proper dose and time.[Cha.Sa.[[Chikitsa Sthana]] 24/60] Aachara rasayana also mentions one who is blessed with yukti (yuktignya), as an optimum factor for the practice of [[rasayana]] and maintenance of wellbeing.
