A MACROBIOTIC DIET  

          A macrobiotic diet is based on the concept of yin and yang in Eastern philosophy and the natural balance of nature. For example, there is no meat in a macrobiotic diet because the small number of teeeth in our mouth used for chewing meat compared to the other kind of teeth. Therefore, macrobiotics believe that we are not designed to have meat in our diet. When we chew the rice, natural sugar is produced in the mouth. So, we do not need any sugar from other sources. However, of course, we need vegatables along with brown rice becouse they are such a rich source of vitamins and other essential nutrients.
