Blood Type Diet Series (Type B)

Okay, now its time for all you Blood Type Bs out there. You guys get the best of both worlds, unlike the Blood Type A whose good with veggies only, or Blood Type O that's all carnivore, Blood Type B is great with BOTH veggies & meats, to top it off, you could eat Dairy products & Eggs, something that they the other diets cannot do. Congrats guys, you have the blood type that lets you eat a bit more well rounded but like all diets remember WILLPOWER and eating JUST ENOUGH is key for a successful diet.

So the typical health concerns you guys would have are:

  1. Immune system disorders
  2. Neurological disorders
  3. Puffy type arthritis
  4. Anaemia (NOT due to lack of meat)
That sounds serious but worry not, a good diet and a healthy lifestyle would help you avoid these problems. Another thing about Blood Type B would be that you need a balance between mental and physical activities to stay in shape. Working too much, try relaxing a bit and go do some exercise like a light jog or some yoga, it'll help you do wonders. When you're all stressed up, Blood Type Bs handle that by creativity so try you're hand at art or music, maybe knitting or sewing? Be creative and try new hobbies, that should help with relaxation.

On to the DO's and the DON'Ts for the food category:
  • Meats: Best type would be Lamb, Mutton, Rabbit, Venison, Cod, Flounder, Mackerel, Salmon, Monkfish, Ocean Perch, Sardine, Seatrout, and Sturgeon.
