Macrobiotics, from the Greek "macro" (large, long) + "bios" (life), is a lifestyle that incorporates a dietary regimen.
Consists of
* Whole cereals: 50-60%
* Fruit and vegetables: 25-30%
* Beans: 10%
* Soup: 5-10%
* Seaweed: 5%
The remainder is composed of whitefish, seeds and nuts, oil and spices, sea salt, desserts.
