When I was studying macrobiotic diet therapy, I said that we should eat food that grows within 31 miles (50 kilometers) of our vicinity. Food produced within this area is the best fit for our bodies. There is also a directional aspect to consider. Because the direction of energy movement in the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere is opposite, it is better to eat food produced in the same hemisphere.
As the saying goes, “One type of soil and water nourishes the people within its proximity.” That is why we often see people who are new to a place, whether foreign or just another location in the same country, experience some kind of discomfort.
