| Try
a macrobiotic diet for weight loss and all-around good health.
Hollywood stars have long recognized the value of eating a balanced
and healthful diet, and they often practice it. How else do you
think they keep their complexions glowing and their eyes sparkling?
Well, sure, there's reconstructive surgery. But many celebrities
keep their health and energy vibrant by eating what is known as
a macrobiotic diet. Who
wants to stay healthy? Plenty of older celebrities who want
to nurture their youthful inner energy and remain desirable
to their audiences, as well as young actors and actresses who
aren't yet concerned with the effects of aging. There is a very
long-standing connection between Hollywood and healthy foods.
Without their health, most celebrities would be out of a job.
The word macrobiotic
is from the Greek, meaning long life. Some people consider it
as a life philosophy. A macrobiotic diet includes whole grains,
such as rice and quinoa, fresh vegetables and fruits, seaweeds,
fermented foods such as soy, and it may even include fish or
chicken. It is not necessarily a vegetarian diet, although some
vegetarians eat macrobiotically. That is, they pay attention
to the proportion of all of the above foods, and include whole
grains, and several servings of vegetables and fruits in their
diet every day.
Whenever possible,
always buy organic vegetables. If you have a green thumb, try
growing some vegetables yourself. The life force that is present
in the produce at the grocery store cannot compare with the
amount of energy and aliveness in a leaf of chard or lettuce
cut from the plant growing in your own kitchen garden. Your
body will thrive on these lively foods, especially because they
aren't full of toxins that your system will have to process,
cleanse, and eventually slough off. Many health-conscious eaters
strive for a predominantly vegetarian or vegan diet because
animal-based foods are often full of poisons, toxins and non-healthful
substances that your body simply doesn't need to deal with.
Aim to give your
body the highest quality foods. Try a macrobiotic diet and eat
like a Hollywood star. You'll discover, as many stars and celebrities
have, that good quality nutrition is the key to real beauty. |
