Abstract: Lifestyle diseases is a major challenge being faced by the medical sector. The direct and non-direct costs involved cripples not only the affected individual but also poses a burden on the nation's economy. Medical support alone is not sufficient to tackle the problem. These diseases originate from a faulty diet and lifestyle followed by the individual and an effective intervention to modify these etiological factors can yield best results. The concept of Prakruthi is unique to Ayurveda. Research works conducted in the field of Ayurge-nomis have established the association between the genetic make up and the SareeraPrakruthi (Physical Constitution) of an individual. Understading the Prakruthi can help in identifying the vul-nerability of an individual towards various clinical ailments. A conducive diet and lifestyle in har-mony with the individual Prakruthi can help in prevention and management of the lifestyle diseases effectively. The present paper is an attempt to explore the relationship between the Prakruthi and Lifestyle disaeses and to design a personalized approach based on Prakruthi for the prevention and manage-ment of these clinical conditions.
