Macrobiotics Macrobiotics is a lifestyle involving
an awareness that humans are connected to nature, and therefore, what is best for physical
bodies are those things from the earth. This includes special ways of selecting, preparing
and eating organically grown, whole, and mostly vegetarian foods to maximize the energy
derived from their consumption. The diet consists of mostly a variety of grains, beans,
vegetables, sea vegetables, Japanese condiments, and a little fish and seafood. The
lifestyle stresses the importance of fresh air, breathing, moderate exercise, balance in
life, use of natural products in the home and on the skin, and orderliness and
organization in all things. The macrobiotic diet may be tailored to each person's own
needs and condition.
