Macrobiotic diet

Macrobiotics (from the Greek "macro" (large, long) + "bio" (life)) is a lifestyle that incorporates a dietary regime. The word was first coined by Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland of Germany with his book, "Makrobiotik oder Die Kunst, das menschliche Leben zu verlängern" ("Macrobiotics, or the Art of Extending One's Life"), in 1796.
