Yin, Yang and Cooking?
macrobiotic-yin yang balance I've been studying Macrobiotic cooking and principles for years, but just recently made the leap. I have to admit I feel much better. I feel lighter, clearer and still feel full while detoxifying and losing weight. As everything in Asia, Macrobiotic eating follows the principle of balance. This balance is called yin and yang in Chinese, or In and You(Yoh) in Japanese. No foods are ever forbidden, but better quality natural foods are always suggested. Foods that are over-stimulating tend to exhaust the body and mind. These are classified as extremely yin.

Here are some of the most Yin Foods:
  • Sugar
  • Alcohol
  • Honey
  • Coffee
  • Chocolate
  • Refined flour products
  • Very hot spices
  • Chemicals and preservatives
  • Commercial milk, yogurt and soft cheeses
  • Poor quality vegetable oils
Foods that are very concentrated, heavy and dense, create stagnation, and lead to the need to detoxify

Here are some basic Yang foods:
  • Poultry
  • Meat
  • Eggs
  • Refined salt
Foods that create balance are whole grains, vegetables, beans, sea vegetables, fruit from the local environment, nuts, and seeds. Foods such as these are used in a macrobiotic way of eating.
