The preB Story: Macrobiotics
Macrobiotics — the time-honored tradition behind preB.
preB is a whole food formula based on the time-honored traditions of macrobiotics — the way of eating that seeks balance in the body through whole, living foods.
What is macrobiotics?
Macrobiotics is a way of life and eating developed over centuries in the Far East and brought to the modern world by George Ohsawa and Michio Kushi. At its heart is a simple principle: seek balance — yin and yang — in the foods you eat, and your body will find health.
Macrobiotic eating emphasizes whole grains, vegetables, sea vegetables, beans, fermented foods, and seasonal, locally grown produce. It avoids processed, artificial, and refined foods. Above all, macrobiotics understands that food is not just fuel — food is the foundation of health, energy, and long life.
Macrobiotics and your intestines
Classic macrobiotics is very much concerned with maintaining the right balance between probiotics — friendly bacteria — and pathogenic bacteria in your intestines. Macrobiotic teachers understood long ago what modern science now confirms: the health of your intestinal flora determines the health of your whole body.
Fermented foods have always been central to this tradition — miso, soy sauce, sauerkraut, pickled vegetables — because fermentation not only preserves food, it concentrates and creates nutrients, and feeds the friendly bacteria in your gut.
How macrobiotics shaped preB
preB was specifically formulated with this result in mind. Every one of the 50+ ingredients was selected according to macrobiotic principles to achieve this end — which is why so many different ingredients are required to make preB.
Building on an ancient Japanese fermentation tradition, preB uses a revolutionary 3-step proprietary fermentation process that not only concentrates and produces phyto-nutrients, it consumes the small amount of alcohol produced and turns it into vital nutrients. The result creates a unique mix of prebiotic and probiotic health benefits found nowhere else.
