Connection Between Humans and Nature
Our actions toward the environment directly affect us. Food and breathing are our direct connections to nature. By maintaining regular meal times, consistent sleep schedules, and daily exercise, we realign with the natural rhythms and seasonal cycles of nature.
Nutrition
Consistent mealtimes and shared meals promote health. The macrobiotic diet emphasizes traditional, wholesome foods like vegetables, whole grains, beans, fruits, nuts, seeds, pickles, fermented foods, herbs, seasonings, sea vegetables, and teas. Each person discovers their optimal foods based on macrobiotic principles. While many thrive on a vegan diet, some choose to include small amounts of animal products.
Macrobiotics is an open, flexible, and adaptable approach to eating that can include a wide variety of foods for social events and special occasions.
Principles for Food Selection
Prioritize foods that have grown and adapted to your climate over centuries, or those from a similar climatic zone. Choose local and seasonal perishable foods from as close to home as possible, favouring organic and natural options with minimal chemical additives. Our food choices have significant impacts on society and the environment.
Healthy Cooking Practices
Use natural preparation, cooking techniques, and preservation methods to enhance the taste and quality of ingredients, which also makes nutrients more available. Cooking is a valuable skill that can increase the sensory and emotional enjoyment of every meal.
