The macrobiotic way of eating emphasizes seasonal, unprocessed, chemical-free, plant-based foods that are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, enzymes, trace elements and complex carbohydrates; and are low in cholesterol, fat and calories.
Foods include whole grains, beans and bean products, land and sea vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and fish (for non-vegans and non-vegetarians), as well as other natural foods and seasonings.
Food is prepared in a variety of ways to create bio-availability, dynamism, textures, and complex sweetness.
The macrobiotic way of eating (and living) can be helpful for:
hormonal imbalances
digestive complaints
hypoglycaemia
chronic fatigue
low energy
low immunity
aches and pains
bone and joint problems
mood swings
emotional instability
and other health concerns.
