Eastern cuisine is certainly much more sensible and closer to nature than Western. A large amount of rice, green tea, fish and seafood - these products are much more useful than pork and beef or flour products. But the influence of the West is spreading more and more widely to the East, and, in addition to traditional Japanese dishes, we eat a lot of the same pork and beef that came from the West... And in traditional Japanese cuisine, in addition to rice and fish, a large number of flour products, animal products, not always 100% healthy are used... In many families, the cult of food - the abundance of dishes and all kinds of delicacies on the table is considered a matter of course, without which life is unthinkable. It is believed that abundant nutrition is the basis of health, and parents try to feed young children who, for example, are sick or weak, intensively and abundantly. But unfortunately, the passion for various and abundant dishes does not benefit either children or adults. Many of us, perhaps, do not suspect that our favorite dishes - pieces of meat wrapped in dough and baked pork - are very harmful to health. Thus, the food that we are used to eating not only does not enrich our body with useful substances, but also cripples us.
In Japanese Buddhist monasteries, there has long been a special nutrition system. It is called "Cuisine that improves judgment". Such nutrition improves the health of not only the body, but also the spirit - improves the work of both the body and consciousness, that is, takes into account the inseparable connection between the body and the soul of a person. This is exactly the nutrition that you need.
The basis of this nutrition is the so-called macrobiotics. It has been known to traditional Japanese culture for a long time. And the word "macrobiotics" itself is borrowed from ancient Greek philosophy from the time of Hippocrates. Even in those days, people wondered how to make food medicine, how to learn to live long and happily, without getting sick, being in a favorable mood. The word "macrobiotics" can be translated as "great life", "long life" or "full-blooded life". But you can also say this: macrobiotics is the science of how to achieve a full life by consuming "full", whole, that is, natural products that have not been subjected to violence by man and have not been mutilated by excessive processing.
The mistake of many people is that they wait for someone else to come and cure them. Such an expectation turns out to be in vain, and the disease really becomes incurable. You should not wait for someone else to come, that he will bring you the right pill or perform the right medical procedure, and everything will pass by itself. This is an illusion, self-deception. Waiting for healing from someone else is suicide. Don't wait, start your own healing on your own, right now, without hoping for others, without hoping for medicines and operations. Revive the healing forces within you, enter into a dialogue with them, ask them for help, believe in your strength - after all, your health is in your hands. And diseases will recede. Start with proper nutrition. The body will thank you for taking care of it.
Nutrition, like movement, is a natural property of all living things and one of the most important laws of nature. This law says: everything that enters our body must be filled with the life-giving force of nature. Medicines are devoid of such force, and therefore they do not carry substances useful to a person. Only the living can help the living. Only the healing force of life, which is in nature, can help the healing force of the body.
