si no vols refredarte i estar fort i prim ja ho saps!

Macrobiotics!
What's in a name?

Imagine!
Imagine being able to live for years without once getting a cold or missing one day of work. Imagine being able to spend your pregnancy and nursing months without getting tired and without the fear of having diabetes or varicose veins and without taking a single pill. Imagine being able to stay slim and active without having to count calories. Macrobiotics teaches you how.

What is macrobiotics?
Macrobiotics is founded on the principle of oriental medicine. It teaches the laws of nature and how to live harmoniously within them. It is not just a diet, but a holistic approach to living that takes into account all aspects of life. It stresses the importance of a balanced diet because diet is the foundation for a healthy, hence happy, and harmonious life. It calls for living a balanced life based on the two complementary, but opposite, natural forces of contraction and expansion. These forces are often referred to by their well-known and convenient oriental names of yin and yang. Sometimes they are called male and female or positive and negative, and you can call them what you like so long as you understand them. It is mentioned in some of the ancient literature: The truth is one. The sages speak of it by many names.
The philosophy of yin-yang in macrobiotics shows in simple terms how the universe works. Many phenomena that are ambiguous become crystal clear.
Examples

Why do some foods propagate an infection and others stop it?
In macrobiotics is it explained that Sodium and calcium are yang while potassium and magnesium are yin. Yang elements, being contractive, prevent and constrain bacteria from multiplying, while yin elements, being expansive, promote and enhance bacterial multiplication.
Therefore, yang foods, kill bacteria and stop an infection while yin foods increase the infection. This is a simple scientific example of macrobiotics. My experience with my own diet and with thousands of patients who have visited my macrobiotics consultation office (and via the internet) over the last few years from 32 different countries has shown me time and time again that yang foods are the best antibiotics in the world. They are better that any antibiotic chemicals man has ever invented. They also have several advantages over chemical antibiotics:
● Bacteria can not develop resistance to these foods like they do to chemical antibiotics
● They have no side effects
● They are always effective unlike some chemical antibiotics that fail o eliminate an infection even after repeated doses.
Many patients with diseases that were difficult to cure like tuberculosis, gangrene, Chlamydia and countless forms of infections have been cured using the proper selection of foods.
The macrobiotic movement has become increasingly popular during the past decade due to the many shortfalls in traditional western medicine and due also to various astonishing recoveries of terminally ill patients who used a carefully designed diet.

Where is the calcium in macrobiotics foods?
One of the questions I get asked the most by patients seeking macrobiotic solutions to their ills is: "No Dairy products! Where is the calcium in my diet?"
A common misconception is that the macrobiotic diet does not provide enough calcium because it does not include milk and dairy foods.
This diet is actually very rich in calcium as it includes: sesame seeds, seaweeds, leafy greens and root vegetables and green tea which are all rich sources of calcium. The body can assimilate calcium in these foods more readily than milk calcium. Plus, these foods do not create problems normally associated with milk and dairy foods such as bloating, mucous and ovarian cysts among women and respiratory problems like asthma and allergies.
