The global healthcare landscape is witnessing a paradigm shift towards integrative, preventive, and sustainable healthcare models. Rising non-communicable diseases (NCDs), environmental degradation, and the limitations of fragmented healthcare systems necessitate a convergence of evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and eco-conscious sustainable healthcare delivery.
Ayurveda, with its holistic emphasis on Diet (Ahara), Lifestyle (Vihara) and Sustainable healthcare thought process (Arogya Vichara) in light of ecological harmony offers timeless wisdom. This conference aims to bridge a powerful confluence of tradition and science with contemporary research in nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and sustainable healthcare practices that aligns with modern evidence-based approaches to address 21st-century health challenges.
