Longevity of life can be obtained by maintaining good health and it cannot be achieved without proper state of mental wellbeing. Ayurveda described differenttypes of Ayu(lifespan) and their causes; and advices to achieve longevity through sukhayu and hitayu. Ayu is combination of body, senses, mind and soul and it has four types-sukhayu(happy life),dukhayu (sad life),hitayu(advantageous life),ahitayu( non-advantageous life Opposite to sukhayu called dukhayu means unpleasant and painful life. It indicates unhappy state of body and mind.

Opposite to hitayu,called ahitayu means non beneficial and miserable life. Ahitayu is result of misdeeds and indiscipline mode and conduct of life.
Advantageous and happy lives are beneficial to all of us. Disadvantageous and miserable lifespan are harmful to us. Advantageous and happy lifespan help us to achieve four objectives of life and other two types of lifespan push us into dungeons of misery and troubles.

Discussion:-
Ayurveda is one of the oldest extant health systems in the world with fundamental principles and theory-based practices. The Sanskrit means of Ayu is life and Veda mean knowledge, therefore Ayurveda is also generally translated as science of life. Ayurveda literature are full of knowledge about life science. It is close to community, not just has geographical sense but also in cultural and social ethos. Due to better accessibility and affordability this system widely accepted among large segment of population.
1132 Mind and body are not different from each other, mental health is equally important as physical health and longevity cannot obtained without a healthy mind. A happy and satisfied mind can contribute in maintaining happy and healthy life which will result in longevity and it can be obtained through practicing good conducts from very early age of life. Ayurveda literatures have mentioned many good behavioral instructions for happy and healthy social, spiritual life and mental wellbeing. Achararasayana is one of them.
The practice of implementing positive lifestyle routines are preventative health care according to Ayurveda, and research is starting to grow in the western medical world around the importance of psychological management on physical health.
If the physical body is stressed from either external or internal stimuli, the nervous system will be triggered into an autonomic response that will signal a specific immune response to activate. In turn the person"s emotional and mental well-being will be compromised from the physiological responses occurring in the body. This creates a potential negative feedback loop that may initiate an unhealthy cycle of reaction between the body and mind.
Ayu is called combination of soul, senses,mind and body. [3]Ayu means also longevity; so ayu(longevity) can be achieved by good physical and mental health. Ayurveda described 5000years ago that mind and body are not different from each other and if mind body and soul are connected and coordinated to each other than it called ayu or longevity; these are not separate to each other and interrelated and integrated to each other. And recent researchers of modern science also accepted this interrelation and unity of mental and physical body and ayu. According to Ader, Cohen, and Felten, the co-founders of PNI research, "two pathways link the brain and the immune system: the autonomic nervous system and the neuroendocrine outflow via the pituitary. Ader revealed that sympathetic nerves innervate both the primary lymphatic organs and secondary lymphatic organs. [4]Furthermore, the cells in the lymph organs bare receptors sites for many hormones and neurotransmitters secreted by the pituitary gland thus weaving a web of communication happening between the immune system and the neuroendocrine system. Cytokines are molecules secreted by activated immune cells, three general categories of cytokines that can cross the blood brain barrier are: Interleukins, interferons, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).Receptor sites were found for specific cytokines in brain. For an acute phase of illness, this is the body doing its job by signaling out to the neuroendocrine system to conserve its energy and use its reserves to fight whatever it present. For chronic inflammation disease, this is where the body is on constant alert, calling out to the immune cells to keep working and keep fighting, sometimes against itself. Dantzer explains cytokines are found flooding the system in patients with major depressive disorders as well as autoimmune diseases. [5] Cytokines command the brain, liver, immune system, endocrine system and various other tissues to act as one unit in the urgent defense of the body." The long-term activation of the stress-response system and the overexposure to cortisol and other stress hormones that follows can disrupt almost all your body's processes. This puts you at increased risk of many health problems, including: 1. Anxiety 2. Depression 3. Digestive problems 4. Headaches 5. Heart disease 6. Sleep problems 7. Weight gain 8. Memory and concentration impairment So it's so important to learn healthy ways to cope with your life stressors.
