Macrobiotic has the following meanings in the field of medicine:

1. Long-lived.

2. Tending to make life longer.

3. Pertaining to a diet that is extremely restricted, such as one in which one mostly eats whole grains.

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