I cant resist a food fad. So much so that Ive ended up in A&E after taking Chinese herbs that were part of a detox diet.
Two bouts of surgery and four days in intensive care later, you think Id be cured of my faddish tendencies but no! (In fairness I cant prove the surgery was directly related to the herbs but the two are forever linked in my mind).
My latest dabble has been in the world of macrobiotics. A macrobiotic diet consists of organically grown whole foods as well as naturally processed foods like brown rice, millet, chickpeas, miso, tofu, soy foods and lots more stuff you find in organic and health food shops.
When I say Im dabbling I mean I pop into Wholefoods round the corner for my lunch from time to time and chew my way through a lot of serious looking salads. If you want to find out more about following a macrobiotic diet, get recipes and buy food online have a look at the Macrobiotic Shop website - www.macrobioticshop.co.uk.
Hippocrates said Let food by thy medicine and thy medicine be food. Bet he never ended up in A&E with severe stomach pains
