ABSTRACT

Ageing is described as the process that reduces the numb er of healthy cells in the body, and for which the body loses its ability to respond to a challenge (external or internal stresses) to maintain homeostasis. The body loses its ability to reproduce some of its ce lls and as cells are destroyed they are not always replaced. Ayurveda has two aims i.e. prevention and promotion of health and secondly cure from disease. Everyone wants to give the impression of being young forever and increase life span by staying health y. But various cells and tissues of the body undergo changes as age advances. By age 50 60 related changes to begin to reflect like reduced power of muscle, reduced vision, memory, locomotion function, there is gradual decline in homeostasis and immune fun ction predisposes them to infection, digestive problem and malignancy. So it is necessary to rejuvenate the body systems for a better harmony of the body, mind and soul. Anti oxidant nutrients and Rasayana or vitalizes both are act as same.
