ABOUT THE BOOK:
The ancient Ayurvedic texts describe the qualities of food, and divide them in three categories, viz. Rajas, Tamas and Sattva. These are the qualities of all things in life and are mental qualities as well. But the value of food in Ayurveda goes far beyond this classification. Food is valued in its relation to the climate, environment and season. Food contains all five elements, i.e. water, fire, earth, air and ether, which are present everywhere and also constitute our individual bodies in a very unique way. The body is not merely physical but it is mental and spiritual as well. In Ayurveda, the diet forms the main part of the treatment for any ailment. With this book the author has emphasized the importance of diet and nutrition to our health and highlight a significant branch of Ayurveda, i.e. dietetics.
