THE WAY TO BETTER HEALTH
While it is important for families to eat together,it is equally important that the meals they share consist of good quality foods. If not the family will eventually experience physical and mental disorders,and ultimate decompocition. To secure the long term health and well being of the entire family,we recommend basing the family’s daily diet around such natural and traditional foods as whole cereal grains,fresh local vegetables,beans and bean products,and other complex carbohydrates.
We recommend that all members of the family eat a macrobiotic diet. However,the general suggestions that follow are not meant to be used rigdly or interpreted dogmatically. Everyone has different needs based on factors such as age,sex,type of activity,physical constitution,present condition,and other characteristhics. Your children’s dietary needs are especially different from your own. For example,you need to pay careful attention to the ammont af salt that your children use.
Adulst can generally ude a larger but not excessive volume,while it is better for babies and small children to avoid salt entirely,at least during the first year or so. The seasonings and condimens that are recommended for moderate daily use can be introduced gradually as children grow.
Our diets also need to be adjusted in responses to the changing conditions in the environment,such as variation in season and climate. General recoomendations for modifying the sstandart macrobiotic way of eating to suit particular environments are included in our other books listed in the Recommende Reading List. These bools are also recommended for futher study.
