DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a nutritious holistic polyherbal Ayurvedic soup to support musculoskeletal & heart health function in ageing population.

BACKGROUND
The concept of healthy aging has evolved over time as our understanding of aging and its various aspects has deepened. Historically, aging was often associated with a decline in physical and mental capabilities, and the focus was primarily on addressing illnesses and disabilities that commonly accompany old age. However, as research in gerontology (the study of aging) has progressed, the emphasis has shifted towards promoting not just a longer lifespan but also a higher quality of life in later years.

Today, healthy aging is deeply ingrained in public health discourse and policy, guiding efforts to enhance the well-being of older adults and promote a positive and active experience of aging. It underscores the importance of a comprehensive and integrated approach that addresses the physical, mental, and social aspects of aging.
The increase in life expectancy at birth and global demographic shift to an older age group presents unprecedented social and economic challenges to the society as increased years are often spent in ill health. This raises the question on how to promote healthy ageing (HA) in the population.

Healthy ageing is not just the absence of a disease but more importantly the maintenance of all functional abilities. The “healthy ageing” pathway corresponds to a lifelong process. The early and middle life of a person has a great influence on the person's old age functional trajectory. Building and maintaining intrinsic capacity, and living in functional independence until the end of life is desired.

At the biological level, ageing results from the impact of the accumulation of a wide variety of molecular and cellular damage over time. This leads to a gradual decrease in physical and mental capacity, a growing risk of disease and ultimately death. Chronic stress accelerates aging, contributing to heightened inflammation. The decline in immune function in the elderly increases susceptibility to infections. Energy levels diminish due to factors like muscle loss and metabolic changes, impacting daily vitality and overall wellbeing. Cardiovascular health becomes a significant concern with age, posing as a prominent risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. Also, the gut microbiota undergoes a shift with age, influencing digestion and immune responses, potentially impacting nutrient absorption and overall health.

Overcoming the afore-noted challenges is essential for addressing the multifaceted health needs of the aging population. A healthy diet plays a primary role in promoting healthy aging. As life expectancy continues to rise globally, adopting a balanced and nutrient-dense diet in alignment with the nutritional requirement of the aging person can contribute to their overall well-being, and also support their musculoskeletal and heart health during the aging process. Thus, as the global population ages, the need for a diet supportive of the aging process is imperative for fostering a society where people can not only live longer but also age with grace and vitality.

There is therefore need for a nutritious holistic polyherbal Ayurvedic soup which supports musculoskeletal & heart health function in ageing population, and also helps in supporting their positive health and wellness. The soup shall also address the challenge of incorporating medicinal herbs in the diet in a safe and effective manner, while also ensuring that the soup is appealing to the palate. There is also need for a soup which provides essential macronutrients and micronutrients, and promotes overall well-being in ageing population. There is also need for a soup preparation which overcomes drawbacks of commercially available food items, and provides an Ayurvedic soup comprising nutritious and delicious ingredients with medicinal herbs, and eliminates the use of additives, preservatives, sugar, saturated fat and excessive sodium.
OBJECTS
Accordingly, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a nutritious holistic polyherbal Ayurvedic soup which overcomes the afore-listed drawbacks of commercially available soups, and provides an Ayurvedic soup comprising nutritious and delicious ingredients with medicinal herbs which supports musculoskeletal & heart health function in ageing population and also aids their positive health and wellness, and is presented in a convenient form so that it can be easily integrated into daily meals.

Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a nutritious holistic polyherbal Ayurvedic soup which addresses the challenge of incorporating medicinal herbs in the diet in a safe and effective manner and provides a practical solution for elderly people seeking to enhance their diet with herbal remedies without the bitterness or strong flavors that can be off-putting.

Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide a nutritious holistic polyherbal Ayurvedic soup which eliminates the use of additives, preservatives, coloring agents, sugar, saturated fat and excessive sodium, thereby promoting overall health and well-being of elderly people.

One more object of the present disclosure is to provide a nutritious holistic polyherbal Ayurvedic soup which supports healthy digestion and stimulates the body and mind.

Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description.
