It is important to know the good things and bad things to be followed by one for longevity. It is advised to gradually give up addictions and adopt wholesome habits increasingly. The protocol advised is, on the first day one should give up a quarter of the unwholesome practice (still maintaining three-fourths of it,) and correspondingly adopt a quarter of wholesome. On the second day, half of the unwholesome practice should be given up and half of the wholesome one should be adopted; this is to be continued for the third day also. On the fourth day, three-fourths of the unwholesome practice should be given up and three-fourths of the wholesome one should be adopted. This process should be continued on the fifth and sixth day also. The process of giving up of the unwholesome practice and adoption of the wholesome practice is completed fully on the seventh day.

==== ''Dosha''-dominant ''prakriti'', susceptibility to disease and specific diet for prevention of diseases ====
The crux of prevention of diseases is maintaining a balance of ''doshas'' right from conception. If the ''doshas'' are in equilibrium within the body of an individual, the person does not suffer from diseases. The imbalance including predominance of a single ''dosha'' in ''prakriti'' makes him/her susceptible to diseases. The balance of ''doshas'' can be maintained through habitual intake of diet of all rasas and following those regimens with opposite properties of dominant ''dosha'' in ''prakriti''. Therefore, to know the predominant ''dosha'' in one’s constitution is very important for having a suitable diet and lifestyle regimen in prevention of diseases. The suitable dietary regimen for each ''dosha prakriti'' is described in detail in the eighth chapter of [[Vimana Sthana]].
