A Review on Ayurvedic Approach to Electronic Media-Driven Lifestyle Dysregulation

Abstract

The pervasive use of social media in contemporary society has led to a rise in psychosomatic conditions including insomnia, anxiety, digital burnout, and emotional dysregulation. Ayurveda, an ancient holistic medical system, offers integrative lifestyle frameworks- Dinacharya (daily routine), Sadvritta (ethical living methods), and Swasthvritta (science of maintaining health and preventing disease) which includes Yoga, to mitigate such digital-age health challenges. Methods: This article reviews classical Ayurvedic texts alongside scientific research to explores how these practices align behavioural rhythms such as eating patterns, exercise, sleep, and socio-ethical practice with circadian biology to promote physiological and psychological homeostasis. Results: Implementing Ayurvedic regimens harmonizes the body's internal clock, supports mental equilibrium, and modulates epigenetic factors related to lifestyle-induced disorders. Regular observance of day and night routine demonstrates potential in preventing and alleviating digital overstimulation’s adverse effects. Discussion: Integrating Ayurvedic principles into modern digital lifestyles presents a promising, holistic approach to restoring balance and resilience. By addressing lifestyle-induced epigenetic expression through circadian alignment and ethical conduct, Ayurveda offers sustainable strategies for health maintenance amidst the psychosocial stressors of the digital era.
