Last post I talked about the passing of Michio Kushi, the legendary entrepreneur, author, healer and teacher, who brought Macrobiotics into our lexicon, and save countless lives.
Today I will discuss some health foods that he promoted to support human health. How many do you already know about? How many do you eat on a regular basis?
