what is Macrobiotics?

Macrobiotics is the practice of Big (Macro) Life (Bios) – a satisfying, long, happy life.  Good health helps us to live a Big Life. 

Much more than just the absence of disease, good health is about having vitality, motivation, suppleness, and clarity. 

Our good health is an expression of our relationships: to ourselves, to our family, to our friends and community, and to

our planet.

Macrobiotics also offers a profound understanding of the ways in which food creates and transforms us.

Food builds our blood, our bones, our nervous system; it constitutes every aspect of us.

The macrobiotic way of eating emphasizes the use of whole grains, land vegetables, beans and bean products, sea vegetables, and other natural whole foods on a regular basis.  

Preparing natural ingredients like these according to macrobiotic principles will help

to give us complex sweetness;

to restore our vitality;

and to rehydrate us.
