We are already the whole macrobiotic family and I have not taken any type of medication for many years. It makes me feel very free and my life no longer has limits that I had before. I can’t imagine my life without macrobiotics and without organic foods”. She enjoys cooking, knowing what She eat and She love to pass on her experience to others.
