In  ancient Greece, it meant living a balanced, healthy, long life. &#8216;Macrobiotic&#8217; literally translates as &#8216;big&#8217; or &#8216;whole&#8217; life. Note, no mention of the word &#8216;diet.&#8217; The Greek &#8216;Macrobiotic Way&#8217; was revealed to me during a recent visit to Crete. It is a way of cooking and sharing food which is supported by an abundance of local, seasonal produce fairly bursting with Earth, Sea and Sun energy. Over the next few days I&#8217;ll be sharing some experiences from the Isle of Crete, including pictures and stories about dishes created by myself and Nicky, or prepared by the locals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Michio Kushi in his book, &#8216;The Macrobiotic Way,&#8217; ancient Greek physician Hippocrates was the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2704,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[109,381],"class_list":["post-2699","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-summer","tag-michio-kushi","tag-the-macrobiotic-way","comments-open","no-comments"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2699","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2699"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2699\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2706,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2699\/revisions\/2706"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wholefoodkitchen.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
