Abstract: Background: Hypertension is one of the most common chronic non-communicable disorder in which pressure exerted by blood on the arterial walls is elevated. Around 1.13 billion individuals are affected by hypertension worldwide with two-thirds of it in low- and middle-income countries. In most cases of hypertension, it often remains asymptomatic in the early course of its manifestation. It is one of the most important risk factors in coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents. With more of the population living with hypertension, greater is the need to ensure the best quality of life through holistic approaches such as Ayurveda, nutrition, and yoga. The principles of pathya and apathya of aahar and Vihar in Ayurveda are focused on maintaining good health through a good diet and a good lifestyle. Methodology: A cross-sectional analysis was performed using data collected from a purposive sampling of 100 hypertensive participants aged 30-70 years from the outpatient department of an Ayurvedic hospital in Mumbai city. Anthropometric parameters (weight, height, BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference) were taken. Dietary intakes were assessed using 2-day diet recalls and food frequency tables. A questionnaire assessing the blood pressure values, history, and symptoms; aahar (dietary), vihar (sleeping habits and physical activity) according to the pathya principles of Ayurveda for hypertension management were included. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The participants had a BMI of 28.64 (±5.5) kg m− 2. The systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were similar in both males and females, 144.2(±17.1) mm Hg and 145.4(±17.5) and 88.4(±9.7) and 86.9(±9.5) mm Hg respectively. Headache (24.5%), excessive perspiration (21.4%), and palpitation (17.2%) were the most experienced symptoms in all the participants. 45% of the participants had a family history of hypertension. The prakruti assessment showed kapha prakruti dominance (47.1%) in the participants. The participants consumed both pathya and apathya aahar foods and 75.3% of the participants do not follow pathya for yoga asanas for hypertension. 49.9% of the participants follow apathya aahar for dietary habits, 37.8% of the participants follow apathya vihar for sleeping habits and 85.2% of the participants follow apathya vihar for physical activity. Over eating regularly was correlated with having lower symptomatic relief (p value 0.027). Conclusion: It can be concluded that people who have hypertension do not adhere to all of the Ayurvedic pathya aahar (dietary practices) and vihar (sleeping routines, physical activity, such as walking and yoga), which are guidelines for managing hypertension. Therefore, the allopathic medication may be responsible for the patients' blood pressure levels being managed. To confirm the antihypertensive impact of aahar and vihar Ayurvedic principles, larger, controlled trials are required.
Keywords: Hypertension, Ayurveda, pathya apathya aahar and vihar, nutrition, holistic treatment.
