A Macrobiotic Diet is one that focuses on eating grains as a staple food and supplementing with other foods such as vegetables and beans. The diet insists that the person avoid highly refined foods, and that individual actually pay attention to how certain foods effect their health and well-being instead of blindly following diet rules. Nevertheless, macrobiotic guidelines can help in developing a sensitivity to the foods that promote health.1 Locally grown whole grain cereals, legumes, vegetables, seaweed, fermented soy products, fruit, beans, fish, nuts, seeds and some teas are some of the staple foods used in the diet. Consuming locally grown foods is also stressed. According to some macrobiotic theorists, all foods have qualities of both yin and yang present and combining certain foods best supports keeping the body in balance as well.2
