About 20yrs ago, wife and I went into pretty much all natural and organic foods, then 4yrs later began Macrobiotics, which is a Japanese culture based diet. Many healthfood store books on the subject and some have had cancer remissions and other medical benefits from altering their diet.

We ate strict macro for about a year. We have since returned to a more Western diet; make homemade pizza, BBQ once in a while etc. Still eat Organic short-grained Brown Rice regularly, have eaten no beef in past 7-8yrs , very small red meat portions when eat Buffalo or Lamb, grind our own organic wheat and bake most of our own bread, cake, cookies. We have not drank cows milk for 20yrs, use Rice Milk instead. Still enjoy Organic Miso Soup, mainly red or brown hearty flavored. Buy only organic frozen vegetables, etc.

Our entire family has been blessed with excellent ongoing health for the entire 20yrs. You are what you eat, literally. Wife is great about exercising in home with exercise tapes, we have a weight machine, and have immediate access to wilderness trails. Fun to take a rifle and hike for an hour or so. Fun to do a bit of XC skiing in the Winter.

I will also put in an endorsement for being self-aware and having knowledge of Homeopathic and Naturopathic medicines, remedies, tinctures, and herbs. Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible, Jethro Kloss' Back To Nature plus Rodale books on Organic Gardening can help you begin to actively maintain and improve your health and live your life with greater satisfaction. All are loosely but directly influencing your "nutrition".
