Tend to have sluggish metabolisms (conserve energy)

SUPERCHARGING THE METABOLISM

Vitamin B-rich foods :
Meat, Liver, Kidney, Muscle Meat, Fish, Dark green leafy vegetables, Fruit.
Vitamin B complex :
Make sure it is free of fillers and binders; Avoid formula contains yeast or wheat base.

Have lower levels of several blood-clotting factors à lead to bleeding disorders

INCREASING BLOOD-CLOTTING ACTIVITY

Vitamin K-rich foods :
Liver, Egg yolks, Broccoli, Green leafy vegetables, such as Kale & Spinach.

Tendency to develop inflammatory joint problems & arthritis (and diet does not contains dairy product)

PREVENTING INFLAMMATIONS

Calcium-rich foods :
Sardines-unboned, Canned salmon-unboned, Broccoli, Collard greens.

Tend to have unstable thyroid metabolisms due to a lack of Iodine à cause weight gain, fluid retention & fatigue

STABILIZING THE THYROID

Iodine-rich foods :
Seafoods; especially saltwater fish, Kelp, Iodized salt (in moderation).

TYPE A

LACKING / PROBLEM

SUPPLEMENT FOCUS
(To provide extra protection)

SOLUTION / BENEFICIAL
(*See acceptable blood type diet list)

Vitamin B12 deficiency (most found animal protein) à cause senile dementia & neurological impairments

SUPERCHARGING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Vitamin B-rich foods :
Whole grains (niacin), Soy sauce (B12), Miso (B12), Tempeh (B12), Fish, Eggs

Lack intrinsic factor à have a difficult time absorbing B12

Low stomach acid à Higher rates of stomach cancer.
(e.g. : *nitrate; a compound that results from smoking & meats diet; cancer-causing greater in type A)

SUPPLYING CANCER-FIGHTING ANTIOXIDANT

Vitamin C-rich foods (as antioxidant to block *reaction) :
Berries, Grapefruit, Pineapple , Cherries, Lemon, Broccoli
Vitamin C :
Precaution-Type As does not do well on high doses 1000mg Vit C à upset their stomachs.
- Take 2-4 tbt of 250mg supplement a day; preferably derived from rose-hip will cause no digestive problems

More prone to cancer & heart disease

Vitamin E :
Take a daily supplement, but not more than 400 IU
Vitamin E-rich foods :
Vegetable oil, Whole grains, Peanut, Leafy green vegetables

Do better on particular calcium products. Worst source of calcium; calcium carbonate (often found in anti-acids) à requires high amount of stomach acid.

PREVENTING INFECTIONS

Calcium :
Tolerate with Calcium gluconate, Do well on Calcium citrate, Do best of all on Calcium lactate
Calcium-rich foods :
Soy milk, Egg, Canned salmon-unboned, Sardines-unboned, Broccoli, Spinach

Type A diet is naturally low in iron

Iron-rich foods :
Whole grains, Beans-dried or fresh (Black beans, lentil, pinto), Figs, Blackstrap molasses
Iron supplements :
Iron citrate, Floradix – liquid iron, Herb supplement
Avoid: crude iron preparations such as ferrous sulphate (irritate the stomach)

More likely to be at risk of clustering of metabolic problems (Syndrome X) viewed as a pathway to diabetes & cardiovascular disease

STRENGTHENING THE HEART, LIVER

Cardiovascular enhancement herbs :
Hawthorn (Cartaegus oxyacanthai, Ginger, Artichoke leaf
Liver support herbs :
Milk thistle, False Daisy

TYPE B

LACKING / PROBLEM

SUPPLEMENT FOCUS
(To provide extra protection)

SOLUTION / BENEFICIAL
(*See acceptable blood type diet list)

Risk magnesium deficiency à Bs so efficient in assimilating calcium; and creating risk in an imbalance between levels of Mg and Ca à more at risk from viruses, fatigue, depression, low immunity, nervous disorders.

FINE-TUNING (BALANCE DIET)

Magnesium-rich foods :
All recommended green vegetables, Grains, Beans

Precaution : an excessive amount of magnesium could, at least theoretically upset the body’s calcium levels, so be sure that Bs also consume high-calcium foods-dairy products. The key is balance!

After As, followed by Bs to be at risk of clustering of metabolic problems (Syndrome X) viewed as a pathway to diabetes & cardiovascular disease. But Bs are less likely to generate cardiovascular disease.

IMPROVING INSULIN PRODUCTION

Liver support herbs :
Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Beet leaf & root, Curcumin (turmeric), Fenugreek

Metabolic enhancement herbs :
Ginger, Fenugreek

Susceptible to slow-moving, sometimes bizarre viral diseases that don’t manifest themselves for many years à triggered by the lectins in foods such as chicken & corn.

STRENGTHENING VIRAL IMMUNITY

Antiviral herbs :
Chlorella, Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)

Tend to have nervous or viral disorders à needs supplement to increase concentration & memory retention.

IMPROVING BRAIN CLARITY & FOCUS

Adaptogenic herbs :
Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), Gingko biloba

TYPE AB

LACKING / PROBLEM

SUPPLEMENT FOCUS
(To provide extra protection)

SOLUTION / BENEFICIAL
(*See acceptable blood type diet list)

ABs have the most complex disease profile-since they posses both A-like and B-like antigens. Most of Abs disease susceptibilities are A-like.

Vulnerable to viruses and infections

SUPERCHARGING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Zinc-rich foods :
Beneficial meats (especially dark turkey meat), Eggs, Beans
Gentle-Immune enhancement herbs :
Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)

Low stomach acid à Higher rates of stomach cancer.
(eg : *nitrate;a compound that results from smoking & meats diet; could be particular problem.

SUPPLYING CANCER-FIGHTING ANTIOXIDANT

Vitamin C-rich foods (as antioxidant to block *reaction) :
Berries, Broccoli, Cherries, Grapefruit, Lemon, Pineapple
Vitamin C :
Precaution-Type ABs do not well on high doses 1000mg Vit C à upset their stomachs.
- Take 2-4 tbt of 250mg supplement a day; preferably derived from rose-hip will cause no digestive problems
Herbs :
Quercetin (bioflavonoid in yellow onion) – 100 times more powerful than Vit E

With a tendency towards heart disease, ABs will want to be serious about protecting their cardiovascular system.

STRENGTHENING THE HEART,LIVER

Cardiovascular enhancement herbs :
Hawthorn (Cartaegus oxyacantha), Ginger, Artichoke leaf
Liver support herbs :
Milk thistle
