Abstract

Lifestyle disorders, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, are major global health concerns closely linked to diet. Modern biomedical science attributes these conditions to chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormonal dysregulation, whereas Unani medicine explains them through disturbances in Miz?j (temperament) and the production of abnormal Akhl?? (humours). This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of diet in the causation and management of lifestyle disorders from both perspectives. Classical Unani texts such as Al-Q?n?n f? al-?ibb (Ibn S?n?) and Kit?b al-??w? (al-R?z?) were examined alongside contemporary biomedical literature. Despite theoretical differences, both systems converge on the principles of moderation, balanced nutrition, proper meal timing, and personalization of diet. Unani concepts like Il?j bi'l-Ghidh? (dietotherapy), temperament-based food selection, and avoidance of harmful combinations resonate with modern preventive nutrition and chrono-nutrition. The integration of these approaches offers a holistic, sustainable model for preventing and managing lifestyle disorders, reaffirming the timeless view of diet as both a cause of disease and a cornerstone of therapy.
