The Basics of Macrobiotics

The book is a guide to harmonious nutrition, presented in a simple and accessible language, based on the principle of yin-yang and adhering to acid-base balance. Such nutrition not only helps to maintain and restore health. It changes the quality of life itself, bringing true well-being and fullness, aligning everything in harmony with the Universe and its laws. Macrobiotics translates to "great life." Hippocrates used this word to describe healthy and long-lived people. The Japanese educator George Ohsawa named his teaching macrobiotics, thus emphasizing its connection to the ancient Eastern dietary system.
