Herman Aihara is the leading authority on practical macrobiotics and natural living in the world today. More than fifty years ago he studied with George Ohsawa, the man who introduced macrobiotics to the West.
Aihara, author of Acid and Alkaline and other books, has his educational background in Western science and has a unique ability to apply its analytical approach to the ancient philosophical wisdom of the Far East.
This book explains a macrobiotic diet and lifestyle from a nutritional perspective. The roles of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals are clearly presented in an easy-to-understand manner.
Besides answering practical nutritional questions, Aihara discusses such issues as how to tell when you are balanced, eating out, the application of the principles of yin and yang to health, and the search for real meaning in lifeùthe ultimate goal of macrobiotics.
