WELCOME TO THE BIG BIG WORLD OF MACROBIOTICS
The reason for becoming Macrobiotic, Vegetarian or Vegan are many whether for animal rights & cruelty or for health & wellbeing issues, I believe the Macrobiotic dietary approach keeps us mentally & physically healthy. We are using organic wholegrains & wholegrain products, vegetables, beans, seeds, nuts, seaweeds, fruit & dried fruit as our principal foods.
Macrobiotics helps us to prevent major diseases & may also help in the reversal back to health from disease & aliments.
It makes more environmental sense to reduce our consumption of meat which is directly relative to the loss of rainforest, land degradation & also affecting our planetary oxygen quantity & quality.
Getting started can be daunting for some initially, but once you get into it, a whole new world opens up to you. A transitional diet may help along with macrobiotic books, youtube or macrobiotic classes. Making a macro shopping list, overhauling the contents of the kitchen cupboards & refrigerator is a good start.
Then giving up or mostly giving up meat, dairy, sugar & replacing them with nourishing alternatives. So here is where some tuition can help immennsely in developing basic cooking skills & more importantly, cooking styles which flow from season to season. Along with a rudimentary knowledge of TCM, 5 element theory & the meaning of a balanced Ph in our bodily fluids will help you to understand how Macrobiotic food energises your body.
Seasonal cooking is one of the cornerstones of macrobiotic cooking. Each season has an energy & a range of foods from the current season. The cooking styles will change with the season becoming more or less Yin & Yang. Generally the heavier styles are used during the winter months & lighter styles thru the summer months.
We look upon food not just as an energy but as fuel for our minds & bodies to achieve what we like to do in life whether it be sports or intellectual pursuits. A balanced ph helps us to generate the sort of energy we need for different activities & to help us to understand the food mood connection.
