20 Golden Eating Habits by Swami Sivananda

20 golden dietetic rules from the great Swami Sivananda. Nowhere, it is said that we need to follow all twenty all the time…Even if we can adopt a few and blend in sometimes with our detoxification routine, we will get the benefits of these golden food rules.
