Macrobiotic foods are capable of doing amazing things for your body-- everything from better digestion to aiding if the recovery from diseases such as cancer.

Sickness is, therefore, the body's attempt to harmonize these three factors when imbalanced. Use the following steps to work macrobiotic foods into your diet and lifestyle, depending on your health condition. When considering the steps, keep in mind the yin and the yang balance.

Adjust Macrobiotic Food Choices by Health Condition
1. The first thing that you need to do is realize that everyone is different and may be wishing to target different health condition with macrobiotic food choices. Know the weaknesses of your environment and learn balance them. For example, miso soup can do wonders--one bowl can cleanse 50 cigarettes from your body. All the food components necessary for health are available in macrobiotic diets, but it is still important to adjust it to your environment and health conditions. For example, you might want to balance a cold wintry day with a hot vegetable or miso soup. Likewise, tropical fruits expand the pores to keep the body cool and should be eaten on a hot day.
2. Don't overwhelm yourself and give up on the chance to balance your life through your diet. Ease into it. Macrobiotic foods are generally whole grains and vegetables, which may be very different than the food your body is used to having. A possible way to ween into this is to start by adding healthy foods into your diet and then slowly taking the bad ones. This makes the transition easier both biologically and psychologically.
3. Prepare food with your health condition and ideal environment in mind. Macrobiotic food preparation is nearly as important as the foods themselves. In a macrobiotic diet, the energy of the food also affects your environment, so be aware of this. Pay attention to the energy of the food. Notice the pot the food in prepared in, the kind of dish that you are preparing, and if the dish is meant to be cooked slow or fast. Put order into your cooking. This symbolizes putting order into your life.
4. Take control of your diet. At restaurants, we often turn over of health to uninterested third parties. This is not conducive to a balanced healthy lifestyle or diet. You should be concerned over whether the food you eat is healthy and if it yields a healthy environment.
5. Don't forget to eat a good variety of foods. It is easy to be narrow-minded when you think vegetables and whole grains. It is ideal to eat about ten different vegetables a day, all of which could feasibly be cooked different ways. Your health condition may call for more meats, but this does not mean only meats. Enjoy them with some vegetables and grains.
