here's the key to macrobiotics the the
foundation obviously is the food so if you think of your plates as a peace sign
just divide it into thirds have one-third legumes which is a bean
one-third grain which is like rice and then one-third vegetable that is a
complete protein and it balances your system to have optimal health the legume
so that's any kind of being lentil a black bean a pinto bean a white bean
if you don't really like beans try to go what's the the milder tasting ones and
those are usually the white beans and make sure that you cook them all the way
and here's how you cook them now let's talk about grains the most popular grain
in macrobiotics is brown rice it is one of the most sealing foods on the planet
and it is so good for you on many many different levels it's got high mineral
content vitamins it helps with fiber it helps detoxify your your entire system
it's good for your heart your circulatory system the benefits are
endless it's also high in protein and also your legumes you can try a
different kind of rice a lot of people like wild rice there's black rice
there's jasmine brown rice you can also try quinoa quinoa is more of a seed but
still a lot of people eat it abundantly like rice so the last thing what's your
favorite vegetable and maybe it's just a cucumber
you actually can saute cucumber slices and a little bit of sesame oil not a lot
and then you could put some sesame seeds on top so on teh it with some garlic get
creative kale is very popular you can steam it roast it so I can't use
different herbs and spices like rosemary thyme lemongrass human if
you want to just start out playing and just season it with a little bit of salt
try that explore how these foods taste for you now of course that includes you
know a little bit of fruit on the side you could have seaweed dishes that is
the minimal thing that you have on your plate what our intestines are doing is
is weeding out all of those nutrients and then our colon is very long so what
happens when our digestive system uses up the nutrients the rest is fiber
the rest is toxins it is taken out removed from your body and with that
fiber it helps go through your your intestinal
tract your colon your your system so that it's no longer stuff in order to
keep everything flowing that is the optimal plate so take action have fun
with it and remember just take it step by step so then eventually it becomes a
habit if you want a healthy body and you don't want to live in illness sickness
or disease and even prevent it this is what we do
