Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A macrobiotic diet is based on the concept of balance between opposites achieved through food intake;some foods are considered yin (associated with death,cold,and darkness,such as tropical sweet foods)or yang (associated with immortality,heat,and light,such as meat and eggs).Overindulgence in either type of food can cause problems,and the idea is to balance consumption of yin and yang foods.Brown rice and whole grains are considered to be balanced foods and are staples in the macrobiotic diet.
