Good afternoon to everybody. I am Dr.VikasChothe from Pune and I would like to speak on the topic- AcharRasayana in Cardiac Health. This paper explores whether achararasayanaand Art therapy could be beneficial in lifestyle related disorders like CHD and type 2 diabetes.
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in Indiaand India also leads the world today with the largest number of diabetics in any given country.
Stress, alcoholand smoking are important determinants of coronary heart disease and diabetes.

In short this picture would give a brief summary of these type A personalities. This man thinks about leisurely golf activities during office. When he is playing golf with friends he is wondering about his house hold job and when he is busy doing it he thinks about office work. Such people are found to be more prone to cardiac diseases and type 2 diabetes.
Life is like an ice-cream, enjoy it before it melts..
adoption of ethical elements mentioned in 'AcharaRasayana' and incorporating art therapy into the comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program definitely would enhance efficacy and value.
Finally what Gandhiji felt about life is that..My utmost gratitude to Dr. AtulRakshe, Director of Shree NiramayaAyurveda Kendra, Pune who has always been my guide and inspiration.
