The basic foundations

These rules, issued by G. Oshawa, introduce a balance between Yin and Yang: each food is assigned to one of these two categories.

Regarding plants, Yin foods are those that grow rapidly in spring or summer. They have shallow roots and are thus treated as a feminine force.

Yang foods are in season fall or winter. They grow slowly and have deep roots: they are treated as masculine strength. The vegetables are rather dark Yin, while vegetables whose color varies from yellow to red are more Yang.

Food founding principles combine a philosophy of life, also based on Yin and Yang. The food at the border between the Yin and Yang

Some foods are mounted between the Yin and Yang because of the different outcome measures: the tomato, for example, Yang could be because of his color, but it is actually Yin, because of its other features. As for cereals and meat, they tend to Yang but again, there are many exceptions.

Similarly, preparation of food can pass from one class to another. For example, a long cooking or heat makes “Yang” food “Yin”. The macrobiotic cooking advice so short and low heat.

But the basic principle of macrobiotics is to respect the balance between food and feed Yin Yang, balance varies by gender and age. You will find below an example of division between Yin and Yang foods. Some foods are ideal because they contain a natural balance between Yin and Yang, like rice, which, with other grains and vegetables, the foundation of the macrobiotic diet.

However, it is not advisable to eat too much meat, and there is even some fruits like pineapple, banana or orange. Finally, whatever the food, it must chew time.

This shows that, apart from the classification Yin and Yang, which has seen the limitations and the lack of scientific basis, the rules of macrobiotics are fairly close to vegetarianism and fletcheri (Fletcher is the instigator of a theory based mainly on the need to chew food).
