Macrobiotics has the following meanings in the field of medicine:

1. The study of making life longer.

2. Pertaining to a macrobiotic diet, which is a restricted diet, such as one that consists mostly of whole grains and unprocessed foods. Unprocessed foods are those that have not been changed in any way from their original form.

Macrobiotics comes from the Greek word "makros" meaning "large," the Greek word "bios" meaning "life," and the Greek word "ikos" meaning "pertaining to." Put the two words together and you have "pertaining to large life."
