Macrobiotic Video's

Just go to youtube and type in the search function "Macrobiotic" and you will see that there is a lot of free stuff out there. Here Edward Esko about "Yin and Yang".

Yin and Yang

First we will fine tune our compass.
Yin : slow, soft, yielding, diffuse, cold, wet, or tranquil; and is associated with water, earth, the moon, femininity and nighttime.

Yang : fast, hard, solid, focused, hot, dry, or aggressive; and is associated with fire, sky, the sun, masculinity and daytime.

Yang food : most animal food, miso, tamari, salt

Yin food : vegetables (tomatoes are very Yin, carrots are closer to the Balance)

Yang preparation: pickling, baking

Yin preparation : steaming, cooking

So we can harmonize Yin food by a Yang preparation, and Yang food by a Yin preparation.

Yin and Yang must be seen as relative tendencies and not as absolute values..
