Story of Niranjanaaya:
First seed of “Niranjanaaya” was sown in year 2014, when we, Dr Parin Niranjan Parmar and Dr Palak Parin Parmar, realized that, for a patient with a lifestyle disorder, focusing on well-being is as important as to receive the conventional treatment of the disease.We realized that, for any patient with a lifestyle disorder, it is extremely important to know the disease as well as one’s own body from multiple perspectives, to meet one’s own self, and to be with oneself in daily life.
This is how exactly the concept of Niranjanaaya was born – to provide an opportunity to reconnect one’s body, mind and spirit using holistic and personalized approach and to empower one to use one’s own lifestyle, which includes but is not limited to diet, environment, exercise, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and spirituality, in journey of the life.
Niranjanaaya is a concept which aims to make lifestyle changes personalized to individuals with chronic medical disorders – most of which are significantly influenced by lifestyle.
To keep things simple, we define lifestyle as the way how one lives. More appropriately, lifestyle may be defined as the way how one CHOSES to live as it is our daily choices that create our lifestyles.
This is why the core belief in Niranjanaaya is – “We Are How We Live”, a wholistic extension of the old wise quote, “we are what we eat”.
Principles of Niranjanaaya :
- Lifestyle medicine cannot be a “one size fits all” approach because every individual is different. Lifestyle medicine must be adapted to each individual to suit his/her preferences, personality, and several other personal factors.
- Making gradual but effective changes in lifestyle is important to assist one’s health and well-being.
- Lifestyle medicine is not an alternative to medicines but plays a very important complementary and supportive role in patients suffering from lifestyle disorders.
- Lifestyle medicine is much about healthy living and healthy thinking – it is an intervention that a pill cannot do, but only a patient can do.
- Safety is the priority. “Do no harm” is an age-old principle for any doctor.
Objectives of Niranjanaaya:
- To take a person to his/her optimal level of health and happiness.
- To create an awareness that one’s health is in one’s own hands and by taking charge of one’s lifestyle, one can live a life with better health and well-being.
- To offer interventions that do not interfere with conventional medicine by adopting holistic approach towards one’s body, mind, and spirit.
- To spread awareness about lifestyle medicine approaches in society so that a healthy community can be built by preventing or delaying several of lifestyle disorders by adopting healthy lifestyles.
