Blood Type Diet Series (Type AB)

The last of the Blood Type Diet Series, Type AB so this is for everyone who has the AB blood type. As an AB blood type group, you guys are a combination of both the Type A and the Type B groups. Meaning this diet would allow you to eat quite a variety of food, but of course in small portions.

On to the Health concerns most AB blood types face:

1. Low levels of stomach acid
2. Asthma
3. Frequent Infections
4. Excess Mucus

Again like all diseases listed throughout the series, they are a possibility but not a must. It could be avoided again through a healthy lifestyle, so not just by following diets but also by doing routine exercises. For AB blood types, you respond best spiritually with a creative method to express yourself. Relaxation exercises are the best type of exercise for those who are in the AB blood type. Yoga is a great way for AB blood types to relax and have a full body work out.

Again as what I stressed in my other posts, a good and healthy lifestyle is the key to getting that body you've always wanted. To lose weight and be healthy, it will take time, results do not just happen overnight, with that in mind, hold on and keep going through the diet. GOOD LUCK you guys :) do your best to be healthy, remember you're only doing yourself a favor.
