About the author
Sivananda Saraswati
778 books180 followersSwami Sivananda Saraswati (September 8, 1887—July 14, 1963) was a Hindu spiritual teacher and a well known proponent of Sivananda Yoga and Vedanta. Sivananda was born Kuppuswami in Pattamadai, in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. He studied medicine and served in Malaya as a physician for several years before taking up monasticism. He lived most of the later part of his life near Muni Ki Reti, Rishikesh.
He is the founder of The Divine Life Society (1936), Yoga-Vedanta Forest Academy (1948) and author of over 200 books on yoga, vedanta and a variety of other subjects. He established Sivananda Ashram, the location of the headquarters of The Divine Life Society (DLS), on the bank of the Ganges at Shivanandanagar, at a distance of 3 kilometres from Rishikesh.
Sivananda Yoga, the yoga form propagated by him, are now spread in many parts of the world through Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, but these centres are not affiliated with Swami Sivananda's original ashrams which are run by the Divine Life Society.

The first few chapters contain insightful concepts about second, third and n-th order effects of diet, however middle and last chapters contain a series of facts about elements in diet, components and so on.
The information can be organized in a better way.
Also, the book writing style is quite different because the first edition was printed in 1958, and so the book needs a major revision and restructuring, reorganisation, and pruning to make it more relevant for modern times.
Also, obviously the book is written with Indian cultural background and context for diet elements.
