Balanced Diet and Yoga: Keys to Healthy Aging According to AYUSH

Nutrition and movement were presented together as pillars of healthy ageing by the AYUSH Ministry. Consuming nutrient‑dense meals, appropriate portion sizes, and staying hydrated provide the energy needed for regular yoga practice. A well‑balanced diet complements the physical benefits of yoga by supporting muscle recovery, joint health and mental alertness. The ministry advised seniors to prioritize fresh vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and sufficient water intake, creating a synergistic effect that sustains strength and prevents age‑related deficiencies.
