by Michio Kushi, Aveline Kushi

A COMPREHENSIVE INTRODUCTION TO THE NUTRITIONAL AND ECOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES OF A BALANCED, NATURAL WAY OF EATING.

This new edition of Macrobiotic Diet is expanded to include information on natural foods that have recently become available; the latest research on cancer and diet; AIDS and diet; the U.S. government's landmark report on Diet and Health ; and the China Health Study ; as well as a wealth of

بالرغم أنني اتبعت نظام الماكروبيوتك لأشهر عدة إلا أنني لم أكن أفهم بعمق الكثير من مبادئه..
هذا الكتاب ساعدني لأفهم عن توازن الطعام، وكيف يمكننا تقسيمها لـ ين و يانج..
لا يخوض الكتاب كثيراً في تاريخ الطعام في العالم، لكنه من خلال التكرار بطرق مختلفة، يجعلك تفهم أنواع الطعام المختلفة وكيف يمكن لك اختيار ما يناسبك في كل مرحلة..
بدأت ألاحظ من حولي كيف نحاول بدون وعي أن نوازن طعامنا..
ولا يمكنني أن أعد لكم المرات التي انتبهت فيها إلى بعض الوصفات التي تتبع بشكل واضح مبدأ التوازن..
قد يعترض البعض على هذا النظام ويكتفون بمعلوماتهم من الانترنت أو المدرسة..
لكن إن كنت شخصاً جاداً ترغب بحياة أجمل فيمكنك تجريب هذا النظام لشهر على الأقل ورؤية الفرق..

This book gives a lot of info about the foods we eat and how we live our lives. I learned a ton of things, about foods I never new about before. It makes me want to think twice before eating certain things and just look at in general my eating habits.

So far, I've read a lot about robots taking over the earth. Not what you would expect from your average fad diet book.
