DINACHARYA

 

DINACHARYA- CIRCADIAN RHYTHM AS PER AYURVEDA:

Dinacharya is a Sanskrit word where " Dina"- Day and "charya" means activity. So Dinacharya means activity performed to match our circadian rhythm or inner body clock.
There are mainly two cycles of Dinacharya:

1. First cycle ( Sunrise to Sunset)
☀ 6 am to 10 am signifies Kapha.

☀ 10 am to 2 pm signifies Pitta.

☀ 2 pm to 6 pm signifies Vata.

2. Second Cycle ( Sunset - Sunrise)
🌜6 pm to 10 pm signifies Kapha.

🌜10 pm to 2 am signifies Pitta.

🌜 2 am to 6 am signifies Vata.

✅Dinarcharya based on these cycles:
🌄 2 am to 6 am
✔Vata dosha is the most active time for dreaming, waking up, and excretion. The best time to start your day.

✔ Drinking two glasses of water detox your body and help in excretion.
🌄 6 am to 10am
✔ Kapha dosha is the most active and the body is capable of handling stress. This is the best time for a workout.

✔ Morning breakfast should be consumed in this time period.

🌄 10 am to 2 pm
✔ As the sun rises Pita dosha is more prominent and starts with the digestion process.

✔ 12- 1 pm is the ideal time for lunch. A little stroll after lunch helps in digestion.
🌄 2 pm to 6 pm
✔Vata dosha is dominant.

✔ Avoid naps after lunch as it may create an accumulation of kapha, which is not a healthy sign.

✔This is the best time for hobbies, walking just rest.
🌃 6 pm to 10 pm
✔Kapha dosha is more predominant.

✔ It relaxes the body and induces sleep.

✔ Sleep before 10 ideally 8-9 as per ayurveda.
🌃 10 pm to 2 am
