macrobioticsthe study or practice of macrobiotic diets I feel that macrobiotics has helped me by showing me my place in nature , which is what I feel is the essence of what Ohsawa was communicating . I went to vegetarian cooking classes and found a small group of people teaching macrobiotics and learnt all I could . It could also be said that there are other nutrients that can lead to deficiencies with a strict practice of macrobiotics .
