There is an ancient Japanese wisdom called Macrobiotics, meaning the “big life” due to its truly holistic approach.
The concept embraces all areas of life and is about enjoying whole, natural foods and nurturing balance in the body.
Macrobiotics supports a real balanced diet, generally comprising of wholegrains, beans, seasonal vegetables and sea vegetables, cooked for a perfect medley of flavour, texture and colour. Variety is key to achieving balance and Wholefood Harmony seeks to inspire and empower people into developing variety in their meals. This may be through:
- Introducing new or different ingredients. There is a huge variety of ingredients and natural seasonings and condiments available to be explored and enjoyed.
- Ideas for delicious recipes which are simple and easy to prepare
- Applying a range of cooking styles
- Eating in balance
Macrobiotics is mindful of the seasons and their connections to the natural elements, the body and its organs, feelings, flavours and foods. Macrobiotics is about balancing your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self in order to embrace life holistically. Food and diet permeate through each area. On a physical level, we take on the energy of what we eat and certain foods are more conducive to, for example; efficient digestion, purifying the blood and general vitality and health.
Emotionally, macrobiotics can help create inner balance by addressing desires for extreme foods or drinks such as sugary desserts, chocolate, alcohol and coffee.
The kitchen may also be seen as a platform for spirituality. Here cooking is not only an art, it may become a daily ritual, an opportunity for intuition to develop and cater for what the body really needs.
