Microbiotics - A branch of Zen philosophy that advocates a diet that balances Yin (negative) and Yang (positive) foods to overcome disease and keep in good health. From the Greek roots makros (long) and bios (life). Certain foods are considered yin (eg, sugar or honey), while others are yang (eg, eggs and meat). Brown rice and other grains are in the middle, and diets are planned around these grains with a balance of yin and yang foods accompanying it. Some food faddists, taking macrobiotics to an extreme, have eliminated all foods except brown rice and, thereby, suffered nutritional deficiencies.
