What is the Macrobiotic Diet?
The word "macrobiotic" comes
from Greek roots and means
"long life". The macrobiotic
diet and philosophy were
developed by a Japanese
educator named George Ohsawa,
who believed that simplicity
was the key to optimal health.
The macrobiotic diet
is a low-fat, high fiber diet
that is a predominantly
vegetarian diet, emphasizing
whole grains and vegetables.
In addition, the macrobiotic
diet is rich in phytoestrogens
from soy products.
Because low-fat, high fiber
diets are often recommended
for cancer and other chronic
diseases, the macrobiotic diet
has been used by people with
these conditions. The
phytoestrogen content may be
protective and reduce the risk
of estrogen-related cancers
such as breast cancer.
However, further research is
needed to clarify whether the
macrobiotic diet is effective
in cancer prevention and
treatment.
The
macrobiotic diet emphasizes
foods that tend to be lacking
in the North American diet,
such as fiber-rich whole
grains, vegetables, and beans.
It is low in saturated fat and
high in phytoestrogens, which
proponents believe may help to
balance female hormones and
help with menopause,
premenstrual syndrome, and
prevention against breast
cancer and endometriosis.
In addition, the macrobiotic
diet is low in meat, dairy
products, and sugar. |
