How Yin and Yang Relates to the Macrobiotic Diet

The yin and yang principal is an essential component in the Macrobiotic Diet. The following food groups are the main sources for anyone who is considering the macrobiotic diet as an avenue to lose weight, or to maintain a healthy body and mind.

As a word of caution, this is information is for educational purposes only. Any person who is under the care of a physician, taking medication, pregnant or under the age of 18 should consult with their health care professional before starting this or any other health and wellness program.

Macrobiotic Food Source

There are some food sources which are very high in yin or yang. Most often, these food choices are avoided. Some foods very high in yin are refined sugars, chocolate, fruit juices, and sodas. Predominately high yang foods include red meat, salt, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products.

Great care and proper portions must be taken into consideration if the above food choices are used, as the correct balance of yin and yang must be determined in order for the macrobiotic diet to be effective.

The following are some of the food choices that have the proper balance of yin and yang, and are used most often on the macrobiotic diet:-

Whole Grains – brown rice, cereals, barley, wheat and oats.

Organic or Fresh Vegetables – broccoli, leafy vegetables, lentils, turnips and onions.

Beans – snow peas and chickpeas.

Nuts and Seeds

Tofu

Organic or Fresh fruits

Soups – made with seaweed, miso or vegetables

Water

Teas – avoid caffeine.

For those tea lovers looking for an alternative to use with this diet, I have found these teas the perfect accompaniment. Not only are they rich in antioxidants, they are made from organic products.

Heath Benefits and/or Risks of the Macrobiotic Diet

The overall benefit of the Macrobiotic Diet is the balance and harmony of the body, mind and spirit of the individual. This diet also has the added bonus of weight loss using the most natural and healthy foods.

All the essential food groups are not used on the macrobiotic diet. There is also the possibility of a low red blood count or anemia.
