HEART LETTER FROM THE NUTRITIONAL FOOD KNOWLEDGE
To become a competent person, you have to learn about everything. “Học ăn, học nói, học gói, học mở”
Our grandparents were very good, putting “learning to eat” right at the top of the four lessons, but nowadays we put “learning to eat” at the bottom and don’t even care about it. Eating right keeps the body healthy. The better the health, the more abundant energy helps us to do more things for the community and always work with a happy and creative state.
After a period of eating according to macrobiotics, I realized that in Vietnam brown rice is the best food for humans and also the best medicine for humans. From that awareness, I always want all Vietnamese people to use brown rice as the main food to build health and develop intelligence. Brown rice meets the standard of yin and yang balance. Should use brown rice for a while, the body will return to the balance of yin and yang. So the disease goes away on its own. According to Oriental medicine, treatment is to restore the balance of yin and yang for the body; Illnesses arise from the imbalance of yin and yang in the body, either in favor of yin or in favor of yang, mainly due to eating and drinking. Hai Thuong Lang, he said: In the treatment of diseases, the upper hand is to use food and the lower order is to use medicine.
But many people have the prejudice that eating brown rice is boring and dry. That’s right, if we eat the same food all the time, it’s boring. Try eating pho continuously for a month, are you bored? Definitely bored. Would it be boring if we eat the same stock for many days? Probably boring. So to avoid boredom, we process many dishes, eat many dishes, we will not get bored.
Khai Minh Macrobiotics was born for that reason and let his people enjoy the specialties of Vietnamese brown rice products. Khai Minh processes many dishes from brown rice such as banh beo, banh xeo, banh can, banh nam, wet cake, banh cuon, pho, noodle soup, wonton, Quang noodles, rice paper, fried vermicelli, hot pot, sushi, Rice, porridge, biscuits, rice cakes, seaweed nuggets… In addition, Khai Minh also provides macrobiotic-related products to take home and process according to his preferences such as rice, sesame, beans, rice paper, etc. dried vermicelli, dry pho, brown rice flour, brown rice tea, red bean tea, bancha tea, sesame oil, peanut oil, coconut oil, tapioca flour, aged tamari sauce, aged garlic sauce, aged salted lemon, apricot perennial salt, seaweed, lotus seeds, walnuts, almonds, oats, dentie powder…
Khai Minh Macrobiotics does not use MSG, seasoning, sugar, preservatives and chemicals in the processing of dishes and all other foods, nor does it use electricity for cooking. Do not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth agents while growing crops.

I started eating and living according to the Ohsawa macrobiotic method on March 23, 2008. As of this time April 2017, I have been eating brown rice for 9 years. In 9 years of following macrobiotics, up to 6 years I ate No. 7, which means only brown rice with sesame salt without eating any other food. It’s not that I ate continuously for 6 years, but divided it into several batches, each for a few months. The longest season of eating No. 7 is 3 consecutive years from the full moon of the first month of the year of the Snake (2013) to the full moon of the first month of the year of the Monkey (2016). I’m currently eating number 7 again and it’s been a month.
Since following macrobiotics, my person has changed a lot from body to soul, from spirit to spirit, it can be said to have changed almost 1800. These changes are all very interesting and interesting. The more I change, the more I like to eat sesame salt brown rice. The more I eat brown rice, the more lovely life becomes. Humans are lovable, all species are lovable. Brown rice is so lovely, it sacrificed its life to feed ours. Happy to have a grain of rice sacrificed for me. Happiness is in every cup of brown rice, not far away. I eat brown rice and I feel happy every day, every hour, every second in my relaxed soul.
Fortunately, we and our grandparents lived in a rice-growing civilization for a long time. Our ancestors used rice as their main daily food since time immemorial. This is reflected in the legend of “Banh Chung Banh Day” from the time of the National Ancestor Hung Vuong. This is also reflected in Vietnamese culture, the culture of eating three main meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. All three main meals of the day have the word “rice”.
We started eating white milled rice since the invention of the rice mill only a few decades ago. From eating white rice and eating many other foods, we start to face health problems; and diseases grow worse. Try to get the landmark before 2000, our people rarely suffer from incurable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease. Since 2000, these incurable diseases have become increasingly violent. It can be said that now incurable diseases have crept into every family, there is no family without people with incurable diseases. Before 2000, the hospital did not have many patients; Now all the hospitals are overloaded. From 2000 to now (2017) it is just over 15 years that incurable diseases develop so quickly, then about 10 years from now, the disease will be present in each of us individually if we do not change the way we eat in a natural way. course.
Within the framework of this introduction, it is not possible to present many interesting issues. Well, readers share the following issues:
- Why do grandparents choose rice as their main food?
- Do people have the main food or do people have the right to eat as many things as they do today?
- Why is it that starting to eat white rice is the beginning of more serious diseases?
Food determines our health. Health determines our destiny. Thus, food determines our fate. Understanding this, Khai Minh always works with his heart. When cooking and preparing food, you must put a clear mind in the food, be happy, not angry, always keep this food in mind so that people can eat healthy and wise. Unhappy, unwell, not processed food.
We hope that in the near future, all Vietnamese people can use brown rice as their main food and use organic, natural, chemical-free food. In cultivation, no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth drugs are used. In processing, no MSG, seasoning, sugar, preservatives, colorants, and any chemicals are used. To do this completely thanks to the right mind of the businessman and farmer.
