The macrobiotic diet is considered a way of life rather than a diet, a food philosophy that embraces the oriental culture. It has now spread too many countries.

This diet is based on the principle that proper nutrition allows the body to maintain balance and preventing the onset of diseases.

 

The macrobiotic diets have gained some popularity especially for their alleged health benefits. According to the principles of the macrobiotic it is very important the quality and quantity of the food and the manner of consumption of the same, which should be chewed for a long time to be appreciated and to obtain a good digestion. The feeding role is crucial because it interacts also with the mind and spirit.

 

In macrobiotic diet, the basic food are grains, especially rice. Among the vegetables, pride of place there is soy; follow then the vegetables, usually eaten cooked, and a few varieties of fruit. Fish consumption is only occasional and all food must come from organic farming. In addition, the macrobiotic abolishes foods sophisticated, does not contemplate the use of meat, milk and all its derivatives. In addition, algae are used frequently because rich in vitamins and minerals.

For macrobiotic fundamental is the concept of balance between Yin and Yang, where Yin means acidic foods (fruits, tea, spices etc.) And the yang alkaline foods (salt, fish, eggs etc.). Each food belongs to one of the two opposing energies and their correct association would allow the body to maintain a perfect balance.
