Nuts and Seeds. These are also a good source for nutrition, but be careful of the fat content. Also, eat them raw and unsalted. I eat plenty of raw almonds because they are a good source of antioxidant vitamin E and may help to reduce cholesterol. Also good are Brazil nuts because they contain a lot of Selenium, another important antioxidant.
Sunflower seeds are another good source of natural Selenium.
If you decide to try this approach, I recommend that you meet with a macrobiotic counselor who can tailor the preferred foods list to your specific body needs. The list that was recommended for me targets my digestive system and lightening the load on my liver. I have a macrobiotic cookbook and have restocked my pantry with new staples, but to be honest, this is very difficult for me. My diet includes a tremendous amount of grains and beans and it's taking some time to get used to the new preparation times. Also, there are fruits and vegetables that I'm not allowed, and just about every kind of snack I can think of has been axed.
