Eat Right For Your Blood Type part 3: Supplement Advisory
4 BLOOD TYPES, 4 SUPPLEMENT ADVISORY
TYPE O
|
LACKING / PROBLEM |
SUPPLEMENT FOCUS |
SOLUTION / BENEFICIAL |
|
Tend to have sluggish metabolisms (conserve energy) |
SUPERCHARGING THE METABOLISM |
Vitamin B-rich foods : |
|
Have lower levels of several blood-clotting factors à lead to bleeding disorders |
INCREASING BLOOD-CLOTTING ACTIVITY |
Vitamin K-rich foods : |
|
Tendency to develop inflammatory joint problems & arthritis (and diet does not contains dairy product) |
PREVENTING INFLAMMATIONS |
Calcium-rich foods : |
|
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 : |

TYPE A
| LACKING / PROBLEM |
SUPPLEMENT FOCUS |
SOLUTION / BENEFICIAL |
|
Vitamin B12 deficiency (most found animal protein) à cause senile dementia & neurological impairments |
SUPERCHARGING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM |
Vitamin B-rich foods : |
|
Lack intrinsic factor à have a difficult time absorbing B12 |
||
|
Low stomach acid à Higher rates of stomach cancer. |
SUPPLYING CANCER-FIGHTING ANTIOXIDANT |
Vitamin C-rich foods (as antioxidant to block *reaction) : |
|
More prone to cancer & heart disease |
Vitamin E : |
|
|
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 : |
|
Type A diet is naturally low in iron |
Iron-rich foods : |
|
|
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 : |

TYPE B
|
LACKING / PROBLEM |
SUPPLEMENT FOCUS |
SOLUTION / BENEFICIAL |
|
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 : 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 : Metabolic enhancement herbs : |
|
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 : |
|
Tend to have nervous or viral disorders à needs supplement to increase concentration & memory retention. |
IMPROVING BRAIN CLARITY & FOCUS |
Adaptogenic herbs : |

TYPE AB
|
LACKING / PROBLEM |
SUPPLEMENT FOCUS |
SOLUTION / BENEFICIAL |
|
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 : |
|
Low stomach acid à Higher rates of stomach cancer. |
SUPPLYING CANCER-FIGHTING ANTIOXIDANT |
Vitamin C-rich foods (as antioxidant to block *reaction) : |
|
With a tendency towards heart disease, ABs will want to be serious about protecting their cardiovascular system. |
