Abstract: Ayurveda's principal focus is on maintaining health and resolving existing conditions. The greatest method to maintain good health is to follow a regular exercise and healthy eating schedule. In order to effectively treat lifestyle illnesses like hyperlipidemia, healthy eating habits and lifestyle modifications are essential. Pathya is a wholesome diet that is beneficial to the body and the mind. The unwholesome routine, often referred to as Apathya, is miserable. Ahara Vidhi Visesayatanas like Prakriti, Karana, Samyoga, Rashi, Desha, Kala, Upayogasamstha, and Upabhokta should be taken into account when recommending Pathya Ahara. The greatest strategy for addressing hyperlipidemia is to use Pathya and avoid Apathya Ahara and Vihara. Items like Guru, Snigdha, Kaphamedokara, and Abhishyandhi should be avoided, but Laghu, Ruksha, and Kaphamedohara and Srotoshodhana foods should be taken. A balanced diet rich in complex carbohydrates, vegetables, and fruits, spiced in moderation, and low in oils and fats is preferred for the management and prevention of hyperlipidemia or Medodushti. Exercises and yogic practises help to lower psychological stress factors and Meda, both of which are causes of hyperlipidemia.
