The macrobiotic way : the complete macrobiotic diet & exercise book / Michio Kushi with Stephen Blauer ; foreword by John Denver

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The Macrobiotic Way is the definitive guide to macrobiotics, written by the world's foremost authority on the subject, Michio Kushi. More than thirty years ago, Mr. Kushi recognized that diet was a principal cause of many illnesses, including cancer, and began teaching how the macrobiotic diet, based upon nutritious whole grains, locally grown fresh vegetables, protein-rich beans, and sea vegetables, can prevent health problems and rejuvenate the body. Macrobiotics integrates the latest scientific research in nutrition and health care with the common-sense practices of traditional societies. In this beautifully illustrated edition, Mr. Kushi suggests a more simple way of eating and living, in harmony with vital health and happiness. Macrobiotic foods and cooking methods are described in detail, and a complete exercise program, flexible enough to fit any need, is included. A superb collection of recipes, sample menus, and dozens of suggestions about healthful living make The Macrobiotic Way a truly practical guide.
