Recommended foods: Whole grains
- Reliable studies such as
"The China Study" or the Executive Summary of the World Health Organization
associate the reduction in the consumption of whole grains and the
increase in the consumption of meat, dairy and refined products to most of
the degenerative and chronic diseases that affect our societies nowadays.
- Whole grains provide us with stable energy which will
keep us going through the day without the up and downs that simple
carbohydrates cause in our body and emotions
- They are made up by a wide variety of nutrients and
combine well with other foods of animal origin.
- Being our main source of energy, these complex carbohydrates
make up 30- 50% of the daily food intake in a macrobiotic diet.
- And they do not make you put on weight, they can
actually help you lose weight!!
