Ayurveda and Yoga are two sides of the same coin, said the All India Institute of Ayurveda head Tanuja Narsi on Thursday.
"Today is a very important day, today is Jagriti Arogya Diwas, this is World Health Day and this year the theme is 'Our Planet Our Health'," Narsi told ANI.
"We have 75 days left for International day of Yoga. The countdown for the Yoga day has begun," she added.
"Yoga is the spiritual face of Ayurveda and Ayurveda is the physical face of yoga. Ayurveda, Yoga are sides of the same coin," she further added.
Highlighting the importance of Yoga, she stated that everyone should adopt Yoga as a lifestyle. Everyone should perform yoga for 35 minutes every morning, she added.
While sharing her insights on the importance of Ayurveda, she said, "It maintains the physical health of a person. Ayurveda is not medical science or herbal science, but is a way of living a healthy and happy way of life. We can avoid many diseases by adopting Yoga".
"Ayurveda also talks about bringing changes in our food habits, according to the changing seasons," she added.
"Ayurveda is a part of our heritage. It is Panchakarma. Ayurveda is a holistic and integrated system in which Yoga is also a part of it," she further stated.
