Abstract
Acharyas had described that Ahara (food), Nidra (sleep) and Brahmacarya (celibacy) are Triupstambha (three sub pillars), which support the body itself. Here food has been placed first which represents its utmost importance to maintain and sustain life so, there is brief description in all Ayurvedic text regarding the do’s and don’ts. The science of applying knowledge in food and nutrition for improving and maintaining good health is called as Dietetics. Now a day several diseases are not due to the intake of unhealthy food but it was due to the improper dietary habit, so it is important to knows the proper ways to avoid several complications so this study is done to explore the basic concept of the Ayurvedic Dietetic. For this, the data has been collected and reviewed from Charak Samhita and Sushrut Samhita and other validated textbooks and publication in international journals.
