You, Me & Madonna. Macrobiotics!

by Dr. Ana

Do you notice that the same few diets come around again and again, with few variations?

For the most part, what makes the old diet program new is the updated, colorful marketing that serves to catch, and hold, our attention.

One diet that for many years has quietly been building a following among people who are willing to go to the edge for not just optimum health but ultimate health, is eating macrobiotic.

What could possibly be the motivation to start, let alone stick with, such an edgy diet?  If you listen to some of the testimonials, you’ll see exactly why!

We can have any and every food grown, harvested and shipped from around the world.  We have access to many things we eat, but are not food (think candy, soda, packaged and chemicalized meals).   In a world where we can ingest whatever we want, let’s choose the very food that’s the best for our health!

Tammy is making soup every Saturday, available for you to purchase as a great starter for your meals for the week.  They are based in macrobiotics which means they’re in-season; the ingredients are chosen for their ability to restore, correct and balance the energy we need based on our local weather; and they are organic produce.

If you have time in the kitchen, the soup recipe is available so you can make your own batch of delicious soup then add a chunky-veggie-filled green salad; or sit with your little ones over a bowl of your soup and a melted cheese sandwich; or have a candlelit dinner adding a lovely serving of roasted white fish, or an herbed chicken breast.

Meat? On a macrobiotic menu?  Not really. But, let’s be honest. Even a step in the right direction by adding soup today, more whole grains tomorrow, some other-than-meat proteins next month…it will all bring you to a healthier place.

And if you find yourself suffering from a disease that threatens your health, your happiness and your life, you will know that you can go 100% macrobiotic and have a guaranteed chance at a return to health through the food you choose.
