Macrobiotics
Macrobiotics is a nutritional philosophy that was largely developed by the Japanese Georges Ohsawa. Since his death in 1966, it has been further developed by his students. Macrobiotics are based on a vegetarian lifestyle and have adopted many aspects of Japanese cuisine. The diet of the monks in Japanese Zen monasteries also found its way into the macrobiotic diet. However, your own recipes are also essential, such as the mu tea, which consists of 16 herbs.
Macrobiotics, in English "the art of extending life", should help its followers to live a happy, healthy and long life. This was the declared goal of Ohsawa, who was also close to Daoism. A fundamental principle is the recognition of the unity of the universe and our relationship with the world around us, also expressed as yin and yang.
