Macrobiotics

As I mentioned before I started studying MACROBIOTICS this month...

I've been interested in Macrobiotics for years now...almost 9 years...but mostly what I did was a bit of reading & ofcourse listening to Mariam Nour on her various shows...Sobhan Allah it was by Allah's will that I got to know one amazing lady...whom I'm very lucky to call a friend now....she has studied with Mariam & then started her own thing in Egypt...Bayt Al Shifaa...& now she wants to move her work to our part of the woods & leave old mighty Cairo...

My friend advised me that because I'm leaving to Hajj I have to stop all meat & dairy products...

& I DID!!!

I stopped eating Meat,poultry,fish ,milk,cheese,yogurt & eggs.It's been a whole month now...& I'm reaping the benefits...I'm more attentive & my mood swings are under control..& sobhan Allah I'm also losing weight ......alhamdu lelah

During the past 2 weeks I took a course with this amazing lady titled "The 5 elements of Macrobiotics" it basiclly covers the principles of Macrobiotics...

Eliminating animal & dairy products are just one step in many steps I need to take for a healthier life style....

I'll keep you all updated with my progress insha Allah...Once I get back from Hajj.

Macrobiotics....

Sobhan Allah yesterday I was browsing through one of my favourite sites

"بيت الشفاء"

& I found a broadcast by Mariam Nour, I consider Mariam one of the most influential women I have ever heard.masha Allah she has guts & she has passion for what she does.

It was a TV interview with "Orbit" on this show

She mentioned John Robbins "A Diet for A New America" & alhamdu Lelah I found the whole video on You tube.

The videos are very iformative & got me thinking about my own diet & of course my family's diet as well.Frankly speaking I've been doing a very lousy job.

I'll be posting the videos here ....& hopefully I'll start building a new menue for my family based around grains & veggies.

In sha Allah....
