This nutritional plan combines the principles of both its components, and allows you to eat only organic, locally grown seasonal whole foods, including whole grains, vegetables and fruits, beans and bean products, sea vegetables, and fermented vegetables. This makes the macrobiotic vegan nutritional philosophy quite difficult to stick to, but the claimed reward is too alluring \u2013 a balanced physical and spiritual life.
