Food for Life : The Macrobiotic Approach to Discovering Personal Balance

Our daily food provides the fuel & energy for any activity we wish to pursue. More & more, people are beginning to understand that what we put into our bodies greatly influences the quality of our lives. The phrase "you are what you eat" continues to provide us with food for thought. This guidebook is intended for those people who are in the transitional stages of learning how natural quality food can help them become whomever & whatever they wish. The word MACROBIOTIC originated in Ancient Greece: "macro" meaning GREAT, & "biotic" meaning LIFE. The word is used to describe lifestyle practices, such as diet, that could rejuvenate the human life force. This guide will discuss how various principles of Eastern thought combine with Western nutritional concepts to form the foundation for the macrobiotic approach to diet & lifestyle. The recipes are simple to follow & integrate the ancient principles of Yin/Yang, the 5 transformations/elements & the concept of balancing our emotional, physical, mental, & spiritual states of being.
