DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a nutritious holistic polyherbal anti-senescence neanimorphic ayurvedic soup to help 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 wellbeing and functional trajectory. Building and maintaining intrinsic capacity, and living in functional independence until the end of life is the motive.

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. The terms “Anti-senescence” and “Neanimorphic” are now being commonly associated with the concept of healthy aging. Anti-senescence refers to the processes aimed at slowing down, preventing or reversing the aging of cells and tissues in the human body, whereas neanimorphic pertains to the concept of youthful or rejuvenated characteristics, reminiscent of a younger state.

The goal of anti-senescence approaches is to maintain cellular function, delay the onset of age-related diseases and promote overall health in aging individuals, and the neanimorphic approaches aim to restore or maintain a more youthful appearance, vitality, and function as individuals age. Both anti-senescence and neanimorphic concepts align with the goal of enhancing the aging process, emphasizing not only longevity but also the preservation of physical and mental well-being.

A healthy diet plays a crucial role in supporting the anti-senescence and neanimorphic goals, contributing to overall well-being and promoting a more youthful state. A balanced and nutrient-dense diet in alignment with the nutritional requirement of the aging person may provide the necessary nutrients and compounds to support cellular health, mitigate the effects of aging, and contribute to a more youthful appearance and overall well-being. Thus, as the global population ages, the need for a diet supportive of the anti-senescence and neanimorphic goals is imperative for fostering a society where people can not only live longer but also age gracefully with more youthful and vibrant physical appearance.

There is therefore need for a nutritious holistic polyherbal anti-senescence neanimorphic ayurvedic soup to help ageing population, and for promoting 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 having anti-senescence and neanimorphic properties to support healthy aging in the elderly, achieve a more youthful appearance, and promote their positive health and wellness.

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. The soup is presented in a convenient form to be easily integrated into daily meals.

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.
