What Books Can I Read About The Macrobiotic Diet?

The term Macrobiotic diet or macrobiotics was first devised by the German physician Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland in his book Macrobiotics or the Art of Extending Human Life (1796) which included a dietary regime.

The Macrobiotic diet as we know it today is based on the philosophy of George Ohsawa (1893-1966), a Japanese philosopher in his book Macrobiotic Guidebook for Living.

Kushi), Complete Guide to Macrobiotic Way (A. Kushi), Macrobiotic Diet (M. and A. Kushi).
