The perfect plate
Macrobiotic cuisine in one of the key points is properly balance the meal. In this way we satisfy our palate and needs of the body. Here I give you a few lines basis. It"s important to always be flexible to meet personal needs.
The dish should generally be composed of:
50% whole grains (80% rice + 20% barley, oats, millet, wheat, make a rotation ...) *
25% mixed seasonal vegetables*
15% legumes
15% soup or broth
5% algae, seasonal fruit, seeds and various seasonings.
To give a practical idea, an example of a base plate would be:
Brown rice, steamed or roasted carrots and parnship, pressure cooked red beans and pressed cabbage, celery and daikon salad, seasoned with lemon and roasted seeds. Miso soup with wakame and onions, raw onion to garnish. Gomasio or other roasted seeds as a condiment.
-Is also important, to introduce the largest possible number of colors on your plate and present food in an attractive way. A green leaf or a little sesame can make the difference.
*NB for women the proportion of veggie and grains usually can be inverted.

The macrobiotic cooking takes to bring a more healthy lifestyle, following the old traditions common to all countries.
Compared to other diets where the body ecology is central, Macrobiotics also takes into account the energy the food and cooking styles they bring with them. So not only brings attention to the physical nourishment but also the emotional and spiritual.
For a simplistic example: an aggressive and material person, what does he eat? Boiled carrots? Or grilled steak? Steak I would say.
So when you feel nervous, what might help? Some veggie and boiled carrots, maybe?
It is easy and natural. So a balanced meal can help us to balance also our emotions.
