Recommendation of a standard diet is not limited to the
above example. A few hundred of varieties of meals can be
created from the standard suggestions. Following the above
general combinations of food varieties, similar combinations
can be produced including variations of the percentage of food
categories. Furthermore, meals shoud vary in volume, in
quality, in preparation and in the manner of eating, depending
upon change of environment, age, sex difference, traditional
background, climate, and season, as well as social and
personal need. The pratice of intuitive judgment in those
aspects is essentially important for everyone’s health and
happiness. Therefore, we need to apply the understanding of
natural order in terms of a balance between antagonistic and
complemental factors, yin and yang.
Over the last fifty years, numerous people from all over
the world have turned their physical, mental and spiritual
unhappiness to health and freedom through the macrobiotic
approach. Meanwhile, in the United States of America,
Canada, Europe, Asia and in other countries, the number of
doctors, nurses, nutritionists, researchers, and other health
professionals who have adopted macrobiotics is considerably
inreasing. Many thousands of natural food stores, macrobiotic
restaurants, organic farms, holistic clinics, macrobiotic

pilot programs based natural way of life with complet foods
have been established in some schools, hospitals and otheir
institutions. A change toward an more biological and more
natural agro- alimentary system has had effects in large on
all aspect of modem life, which have influenced energy,
economics, environment projection, reduction of poverty and
hunger on this planet.
In Europe, Unite States of America, Canada, Russia,
Ukraina, Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, and other
countries are vearly organized macrobiotic congresses in which
delegates of many nations and states reunite and discuss
about pratical means of promoting peace and security in this
