What if, a cup of coffee is really useful?

I have adored coffee even before I have actually try and taste it. Yet its smell was delicious. I started to drink coffee regularly in student years; it helped us stay up long, when we were studying for exams.

And, so the commitment to scented black coffee remained.

In eighties, experts for food have made an assertion, that drinking coffee could be harmful to our body, and that they wouldn’t recommend it for every day drinking. In hundred of studies, they attempt to uncover the risk of drinking coffee, and sought to ascribe various bad effect, from high blood pressure to cancer.

A couple of years ago, in an article in the American journal »Eat well«, were published reviews of results from these studies and came to a surprising discovery: the consumption of coffee is, even if you drink large doses of high-octane beverage, showed a relatively safe for most adults.

But there was even greater surprise

A cup of coffee, or two, perhaps even three can be even beneficial for your health.

Reports indicate one good thing after another, from drinking coffee with the “side” benefit to health, which it brings.
After one cup of coffee per day, you could reduce chances of developing bile stones.

Next good side effects say that drinking coffee reduces the risk of developing diabetes.

The first report was from societies, from California University in Irvine, which have studied the health and habits of more than 13 thousand people from home for old-age pensioners. Study took more than twenty-one years.

With pensioners, who have drunk at least one cup of coffee per day, the possibility that they deceased have been reduced for ten percent.

Alan Leviton, epidemiologists from Harvard Medical University, which has nearly twenty-five years of examining the studies and research on drinking coffee, and himself have daily two cups per day, says that for years there is evidence of the beneficial effects of coffee.

On the other hand, in all coffee studies they have always proceed from fact, that the coffee would probably be harmful, so they have been more focused for the search of negative consequences for health.

Dehydration

Since enhances secretion of urine, caffeine accelerate the excretion of fluids from the body.
Therefore, decaffeinated drinks do not actually quench one’s thirst but have opposite effect.

As a result of this, we could gain body dehydration. Moreover it is clear that young people who quench thirst with energy drinks actually are harming your body.

Often they have been wrong

Older studies showed a link between drinking coffee and cancer, until researchers’ further find out, that the real culprit is actually a cigarette with coffee and not drinking coffee.

Afterwards researches start to collect evidence, that drinking coffee may even be useful, but will be in quite some time, when people will accept good results.

Against bile stone?

One of the first good news about drinking coffee had showed when the laboratory researchers found that caffeine may shrink bile stones, calcified stone, which sometimes lead to the attack which is accompanied by severe pain.

Epidemiologists were interested, if regular coffee drinkers could reduce the risk of biliary disease and bile stones.

They have reviewed data on health and nutrition, which they have collected in three decades in more than 46 thousand men and more than 80 thousand women. It appeared that with regular coffee drinkers stones have been less common than with those who have avoided coffee.

These studies do not prove a cause and effect. As coffee drinkers could be doing something else than drinking coffee and this thing could attribute to the risk reduction.

Nevertheless, due to the size of the group, which was more than 125 thousand people, this research has a quite big point. And the effect depends on the coffee dose; the more they drink, the more they reduce chances of develop bile stones.

For those who drank one cup of coffee per day, the risk was lower for 13 percent of those who drank two, was less by 21 percent in people who drink four or more cups of coffee per day, the risk was lower by 33 percent.

Lower risk for Parkinson’s?

Other good news was filtering. . Based on data from studies carried out in the same population, researchers found out, that a man coffee drinkers had less opportunity for developing Parkinson’s disease, condition which disrupts the brain control movement and balance.
Even for women there have been some benefits.

But while the men appeared to be more protected against Parkinson’s disease, if they drink more coffee, the benefit for women has shown, if they have from one to three cups of coffee per day.

In the following analysis, the epidemiologists have found out, that coffee drinkers reduce risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. Men, who drink six cups of coffee a day, have halved the risk of disease compared with those who drank coffee only occasionally.

Women have decreased their risk by about 30 percent. It could be, that these results are only coincidence, but more and more studies are confirming the benefits from drinking coffee.

Also quite interesting is; when researchers at the Department of War Veterans in Honolulu reviewed data of more than eight thousand men, followed by more than three decades, have been found that coffee drinkers lowered the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.

The study published in the British medical journal The Lancet, which included 17,111 men and women, in 2002, Dutch researchers have reported that those who drinks seven cups of coffee a day, halve the risk of developing diabetes compared with those who drink two cup or less.

Swedish study published in 2004, which have fallowed 1361 women for 18 years, showed the following: the more coffee a woman drinks, the smaller are her potential for developing diabetes.

Where can we find caffeine?

Coca cola 130 mg, Can of energy drinks (250 ml) 90 mg, Espresso (45 ml) 100 mg, Turkish coffee (85 ml) from 40 to 70 mg, Cup of decaffeinated coffee, 3 to 4 mg, Iced tea (300 m) 50 mg, Indian tea (200 ml) from 50 to 70 mg.

What we can find in cup of coffee?

Caffeine is the most popular ingredient, but the coffee is chemically very complex, and a cup of coffee contains hundreds of substances, some of them we are just starting to know. Caffeine in coffee is the reason that some people are avoiding it completely, or they enjoy de -coffined version.

Ironically, however, as caffeine is the main “culprit” for useful effect that we could gain by drinking coffee.

In study of bile stones, for example, they found out that drinking »real« coffee has reduced our chances to get bile stones, but contrary, with de-coffined version didn’t have any effect.

Even the studies of Parkinson’s disease were identified, that drinking coffee offers protection (in both studies have found that we could reduce risk also with consumption of caffeine from other sources, such as tea or cola).

A rich source of antioxidants

Coffee has been shown as a rich source of antioxidants, substances that are found in fruits and vegetables, which slow the damage to cells caused by reactive oxygen atoms.

Antioxidants consist of about ten percent of unroasted coffee beans, and only one percentages of caffeine. Other, newly discovered substances, will probably help to explain reduced rik of diabetes for coffee drinkers.

Scientists are looking closely substances, called kvinidi, which are unique to coffee and are generated during the process of roasting.

As shown, kvinidi improve the liver ability, to metabolise glucose, which can maintain the level of blood sugar at one stage, and this protects us from diabetes.

German researchers from the University of Munster have recently reported, that they have discover an antioxidants called metilpiridin, which can be found almost exclusively in roasted coffee beans, which can help to fight against cancer. Researches on antioxidants have only started, and this is only beginning, but early findings are encouraging.

English experts from the University of Glasgow have done the study last year, where they found out, that coffee contains antioxidants in such level that could be found in black tea and that special blend of antioxidants in coffee may soon pass into the bloodstream.

In a study carried out by Norwegian, the home of keen coffee lovers, have found out, that coffee contains more antioxidants than anything else on our menu.

Another thing I was interested in: What gives the caffeine in coffee, its effect? And does caffeine keep us awake, or make us even more active?
For answers to these questions look up in my next post, which I will post shortly.

People are constantly looking for shortcuts and tools that would make them as easy as possible to achieve the objectives they have set for themselves. This is also the case with getting rid of excess body fat. Surely you have heard about fat burners, products that promise (quick) solution to your problem with the excess body fat. Some of you have positive experience with such products, while some others have came to the conclusion, that this makes only your wallet thinner.

What is the truth behind fat burners?

Use of fat burners is meaningful only in combination with a regulated diet and regular physical activity. If you are dreaming of a body without excessive fat, but at the same time you are not ready to lay off your favorite sweets and get up from your comfortable couch, your dream will not came true even with the most effective product. Do not expect miracles!

Some products that are marketed as fat burners actually have nothing in common with the combustion of body fat. One such substance is chitosan, which operates on the principle of tying fat which we intake with food and prevents it from being digested in the body. If you eat a balanced diet, which is the cornerstone of any effective diet, fat should be limited to so called healthy fats such as you do not want to exclude from the body. Therefore, the consumption of chitosan is in complete opposite with the logic of diet, which restricts the bad fats, but stresses the importance of healthy fats.

Active substances in fat burners

Fat burners, which can be found on the market, mostly contain L-carnitine or a combination of L-carnitine and other substances (caffeine, green tea,hydro citric acid). We believe that a lot of questions arise as reason due to the wide range of products. What are the differences between different products? What substances do they contain and how do they act? Which of the products is the most effective? Which is best for me? And finally, which is the safest to use?

L-carnitine

L-carnitine is a natural substance that is found in meat and dairy products. For decades it is a very popular additive for safe help in the matter of losing excessive body fat. L-carnitine transport of fat from fat cells in the cell mitochondria, which are oxidized and the resulting energy. Many studies confirm its support for the burning of excess body fat, greater levels of energy during exercise improved muscle endurance and maintaining muscle mass. Furthermore, it reduces the feeling of hunger and weakness, which may occur in the lower calorific intake.
Hidroksicitronska acid (HCA) – less appetite, inhibition of absorption of carbohydrates
Hidroksicitronska acid (HCA) comes from the fruit of exotic fruit garcinia cambogia. It helps in the loss of excess body fat, improve endurance and strengthen the immune system. The study is supported by its incredible ability to prevent the conversion of carbohydrates into fat, as inhibiting the functioning of an enzyme called ATP-citrate lipase. HCA has also proved successful as an inhibitor of appetite.

Extract of green tea – burning body fat, antioxidant functioning

Extract of green tea has recently become a very popular addition, the number of beneficial effects of scientific studies repeatedly confirm. All of us is well known to its antioxidant action, in addition, green tea also significantly contribute to speeding up the metabolism (calorie usage) and burning fat. Studies have shown that it contributes to the 4% increase in energy consumption throughout the day (which averages to about 100 calories). It is also diuretic, therefore, it reduces water retention in the body.

Caffeine – more energy and stamina

Caffeine itself is not fat burner, but it is one of the most popular stimulant. Located in plants, such as the guarana, kola nuts, coffee and cocoa beans, tea, … Caffeine increases endurance and the long-term physical exercise and also helps in short, high intensity exercise. Reduces sensitivity to pain during exercise and helps to improve concentration and memory. The function of the  fat combustion is reflected in the promotion of the elimination of fatty acids from fat cells, so it is advisable to consume, even in combination with l-karnitine. Studies have shown that consumption of higher doses of caffeine (about 5 mg per 1 kg body weight) increases the basal metabolism, which means higher energy consumption in the rest.

Caution: pregnant women and individuals that do not use food and beverages with caffeine do not enjoy a regular basis, do not tolerate caffeine well, or can suffer from high blood pressure, are recommend avoiding products with caffeine.

And do not forget – fat burners only help you in achieving loss of excess body fat, but are not a miracle pill that will do all the work for you. The cornerstone of any successful fat loss in a body is a regulated diet and regular exercise.

Coffee-black energy

Redcurrant  is the best medicine for the immune system

Each redcurrant berry is a vitamin C treasury – it contains about two grams. As animals produce it for themselves naturally, humans need to consume it with nourishment, in a natural, organically connected and accessible form. Vitamin C is extremely important to our organism, since it is active in all body cells as the best catalyst.

Redcurrant also contains pre-stage of vitamin A, which acts on the protective mucous membranes and stimulates the metabolism, which balances viability and health of the organism and also improves vision. Vitamins C and A are not the only one that are worthy of attention.

Also highly valuable as niacin (vitamin B3), which protects our nervous system, and vitamin B2, which is involved in cell breathing.

Among the mineral substances is quite important organically bound calcium, which calms us down and is present in our bones and teeth.

A redcurrant also contains iron, the most important substance in the blood formation, and potassium, which helps us to reduce water from our body and tissue. Although also contains magnesium, which strengthens our heart.

Purchase and prepare: More substantial is redcurrant, but blackcurrant is more aromatic. Both types are equally useful for use and intake; I used it a lot specially for fruit salads, fresh made juices and as a something extra to a dessert.

Currants with its wonderful aroma and the color make all desserts as something special, me myself love it a lot.

Currant shouldn’t be stored for a very long time, after purchased (or harvest), therefore is better recommended to eat it fresh, as that way sustain most of the vitamins and minerals.

Redcurrants – the joy of summer

Who does not know the delicious and very attractive looking red balls that you can simply eat them while picking or you could store, and make a wide variety of dishes from it.

A redcurrant is a plant that grows mostly in parts of Western Europe.

This is a highly branched bush, which grows from 1 meter to 1.5 meters high and produces delicious red fruits that are mutually useful.

It has a yellow-green flowers and dark green leaves that looks like maple. Their roots are superficial and quickly damaged if we mess with it a lot. Therefore, do not damage the roots, cultivate them gently.

Blossoms are extending to the small twig, which are attached to larger branches. They are growing fruits, which are forming a chain of red berries.

Each berry contains approximately from 3 to 12 seeds. Berries are very good attached to a stalk. Ideally is, that you live them on for about three weeks later, after they start showing red color. Trust me; currants are the best then, with a nice, lively red color, reddish. At the harvest, be careful, that berries are dry.

Gentle berries could be easily damaged, therefore be careful when picking them. Do pick the whole stalk with berries.

The very first currant was bred in Belgium and northern France in the 17th century.

It is cultivated quite a lot in modern times, although, you could also find it in the wildness, as it has spread from gardens to outland.

It is even spread to Asia. Currants grow best in humid summer heat, in regions where winters are colder.

Currant benefits from the morning sun and afternoon half-shadow, with good air circulation. They can be grown in the shade of trees or on the north side of buildings.

Currant is extremely sensitive to the sun.

A redcurrant is slightly sourer than its relative the blackcurrant, and is primarily grown for jams and cooked dishes. In Scandinavian countries it is used mainly for soups and summer fruit puddings, in Germany it is also used in combination with various fillings for pastries and cakes. It’s actually quite excellent in pies and sauces.

Furthermore it is also used for the preparation of wine.

Blackcurrants are a traditional source of the French liqueur Cassis.
The medical effects are more related to blackcurrants, but may be in German or in English doctrine where we could find records, which are proving that a redcurrant is good for reducing fever, sweating acceleration, beneficial influence on menstrual cramps, increasing appetite and for blood cleaning.

It acts as a diuretic and improves digestion. These effects are unlikely in view of the very high content of vitamin C, fruit acids and roughage in the redcurrant.

Tea from the dried redcurrants leaves help to assist in relieving the symptoms of rheumatism, used as a compress on the wound, which is healing badly and it’s also used as a gargling to tackle infections in the mouth.

Its power is already aware of the century

Reddcurrant  juice has been used in folk medicine, particularly in problems with the stomach and strengthen gums.

Fresh and sterilized juice of redcurrants is a refreshing drink to patients with fever.

Berries increases appetite, affect the size and secretion of mucus  and becouse of many un-digested seeds in them, they are regulates digestion, in a good way .

Group type AB is also known as “Enigma”

Group with blood type AB is the rarest and the newest among all blood types.  It has developed from mixing with blood type A (from Caucasus group) and blood type B (Mongolian group) and is currently present only in 5 % of all populations.

About 10 to 12 centuries ago, this blood type didn’t even exist.

So; your blood type combines the characteristics of group A and B, which therefore means, that what is harmful for bloody type A and B, is also harmful for bloody type AB (but there are some exceptions).

This is not very encouraging ?

But don’t worry, is not as bad as it looks, or seems at first impression. However, as group AB have fallow the tolerance of both blood types A and B, they have developed a strong immune system, which is specialized to fight against infectious diseases.

Furthermore, since they don’t have antibodies from anti-A and anti-B, they are less prone to allergies and diseases that are related to the immune system.

However, group AB is not having only advantages; in fact, your immune system could be in trouble, when he needs to recognize such hazardous substances, which are similar to those with blood type A or blood type B but this substance could be harmful for your body.

As this substance could trick system to develop antibodies, this could be quite harmful for your body, as there will be no protection.

This has the tendency to cancer diseases, but it doesn’t mean that you will certainly suffer this disease.

You could be inclined to the fallowing problems:

• cancer diseases
• tendency to bronchitis and pneumonia
• tendency to develop fungal disease
• tendency to parasites.

Characteristics:

• contemporary merging groups A and B
• chameleon react to a change of circumstances and nutrition
• a sensitive digestive tract  overly tolerant immune system
• response to stress is physical activity and creativity.

Food which will help you gain weight

• red meat (difficult digestion, stored as fat, poisoned digestive tract)
• beans – especially Lima beans (blocking effect of insulin, causing hipogli-chemise,  rise in blood sugar, lowers metabolism)
• seeds (too much sugar rise)
• corn (blocking the action of insulin)
• buckwheat (sugar increase)
• wheat (slows down the metabolism, causing inefficient use of calories, block the action of insulin).

Food, which will help you lose weight

• Tofu (stimulate efficiency of metabolism)
• Seafood (stimulate efficiency of metabolism)
• Dairy products (improving effectiveness of insulin)
• Green vegetables (stimulate efficiency of metabolism)
• Seaweed (to improve the production of insulin)
• Pineapple (helps eases digestion).

Reaction to stress – group with blood type AB reacts on first stage of stress with intellect – this is shown as an increased adrenaline, excitement, irritability, hyperactivity.

This consequently weakens your immune system and reduces resistance to infection and bacteria. You could reduce this influence with relaxing methods; put your mind at rest and practicing yoga.

So these are activities which will relax your body and soul. Do not try out competitive sports, as they will only make you exhausted and will cause tension.

Recommended sports:

• Taj-ci (3-5x a week, 30 to 45 min)
• Hata Yoga (3-5x a week, 30 min)
• Aikido (60 min, 2-3x per week)
• Golf (60 min, 2-3x per week)
• Cycling (60 min, 2-3x per week)
• Fast walking (20-40 minutes 2-3x per week)
• Swimming (30 min 3-4x a week)
• Dance (30 -45 min, 2-3x per week)
• Aerobics (30-45 min, 2-3x per week)
• Walk (45 minutes 2-3x per week)
• Stretching (15 min, at each practice).

NUTRITION

Meat
Due to the low stomach acidity, group with blood type AB badly digest meat. But as this is a valuable element, I would suggest (as I have read already about it) to do the fallowing trick; do not eat often meat, is so, enjoy it rarely in small meals (red meat 1-3x a week, poultry 0-2x a week).

It is also very important to choose suitable kinds of meat, which are easier to digest. Chicken meat is better to be avoided, as is harmful the same way as for the blood type B. Furthermore, group AB should be avoiding preserved meat, since it increases the possibility of cancer of the stomach.

Useful: lamb, mutton, rabbit, turkey.
Neutral: liver, pheasant.
Harmful: beef, pork, venison, chicken and other poultry.

Fish
Fish are good source of protein for blood group AB (excluding certain types of fish from the harmful lectins). Characteristic, “inherited” from blood group A has a tendency to breast cancer, especially if the family has already had it.

In this case, it is important to add to your menu snails, which are containing lectin, which will attack degenerated cells, from which mainly breast cancer is developed.

Useful: tuna, bakal, sturgeon, caviar, salmon, mussels, swordfish, sea trout, sea language sea devil, hake, white fish, sardines, mackerel, pike, rainbow trout, seabass, snail.
Neutral: carp, sea salmon, river perch, pilgrimage scallop, herring.
Harmful: sea bass, octopus, eel, smoked salmon, plaice, halibut, oysters, crabs, sardines, cuttlefish, herring, haddock, frogs, turtle.

Milk, dairy products and eggs
Here is group AB very similar to group B  – dairy product are very useful for this group, specially yogurt, kefir and other fermented milk products with low fat.

However, be careful of a possible over-production of mucus (respiratory problems, inflammation of sinuses, sore ears).

In this case, reduce the consumption of dairy products. Eggs are a good source of protein for the group AB. But as yolk contains a lot of cholesterol, I would advise the use of two whites in one egg yolk.

Useful: skimmed goat milk, goat cheese, feta, kefir, mozzarella, salted cow cheese, yogurt, farmer cheese, soy pasta, fresh non-fat cheese, Fiocchi di latte, curd.
Neutral: skimmed milk, whey, soy milk, soy cheese (tofu), Cheddar, Edam, emental, Gouda, Colby, jarlsburg, Munster, whey.
Harmful: butter, whole milk, sorbet, buffalo cheese, Parmesan cheese, camembert, ice cream, Brie, a cheese with noble mold, processed cheese.

Oils and fats
Group AB have to use vegetables oil, especially olive oil is good, as it protects the health of the heart and arteries.

Useful: olive oil.
Neutral: peanut oil, fish oil, linseed oil, rapeseed oil.
Harmful: corn oil, cotton oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil.

Stone fruit and seeds
Group AB should be cautious in intake of stone fruit and seeds because of the contradictions in groups A and B.

They contain good proteins but you should enjoy them carefully, since they contain lectins, which impede the functioning of insulin, the same as in group B.

Some of these are important advantages for blood type AB, but if you have any problems with the bile, rather enjoy the fruits instead of whole.

Useful: chestnuts, peanuts, peanut butter, nuts.
Neutral: almond and almond butter, Brazil nuts, cashew nuts, hikori nuts, leeches, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, pistachio.
Harmful: hazelnuts, poppy seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Sesame seeds, and butter, sunflower seeds and butter.

Blood group B has appeared before 10,000 to 15,000 years ago in the mountainous Himalayas in the part of today’s Pakistan and India. Mutation has occurred probably in response to climate change. The first individuals with blood type B have occurred in India or the Ural mountains in Asia, in the mixed tribes in Caucasus and between Mongols.

A new blood group had quickly become a characteristic of large tribes, which were colonizing in steppes are have been dominated at that time in Eurasian plains. When the Mongol started to move towards Asia, the gene for blood group B was already firmly rooted. These nomad populations were focused towards north, and they were also bringing with them their culture, based on production of livestock and dairy products.  The nomad shepherds were divided into two groups: first, rural, less mobile group in the south and east area and the other, more combat team with excellent riding skills, which were break through Eastern Europe. As a result of this, we can still find today gene for group B in present Eastern European peoples.

Meanwhile, the agrarian focused group had stabilized in China, Southeast Asia. In accordance with the nature and climate of these areas new colonists invented and used many new methods of irrigation and soil treatment, which showed the high creativity, intelligence, and practicality. In comparison with other blood groups, the group B is much more clearly geographically arranged. For the time being, the highest proportion of group B can be found among subcontinental Indians, the people of Caucasus origin.

Moreover, we can also find lots of people with blood type B in the north of China and Korea. In order to survive, are ancestors of blood type B should be flexible and creative. From that point of view they are middle path between the system and conformism of group A and hard determination of blood type 0. Blood group B is biologically is more flexible than other groups and less susceptible to many diseases.

They can participate with different personalities and are less prone to conflict. Amongst Jewish people if group B highly represented. In the tradition of their intelligence, peacefulness and Spirituality coexist with a strong physical structure to fight, if necessary. Maybe it sounds as a contradiction, but this is only various tuning of energies of group B.

Characteristics: Balanced, a strong immune system, tolerant digestive tract, eater of milk and dairy products, manage to adapt to different diets, responds to the stress on the best way – with creativity, needs a balance between physical and mental activity in order to maintain health.

Predispositions of the following problems: a viral inflammation, influenza, diseases caused by viruses with the slow-acting (sclerosis multiplex, Lou Gehrig disease – Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-like neurological disease), autoimmune disease, diabetes type 1 (children), sinusitis, including chronic.

Foods which will make you gain weight

Maize – inhibits insulin efficiency, slows metabolism, Lens – hinders the absorption of nutrients, slows down metabolism, Peanuts – slowing down the metabolism, Sesame seeds – slows down the metabolism, buckwheat – impedes digestion, slow metabolism, and wheat – impedes digestion and metabolism, causing accumulation of fat and hinders the use of calories for energy, inhibits insulin efficiency. Most of them could cause hypoglycemia.
People with blood type B were liable to hypoglycemia, which causes uncomfortable feeling, and raises “big hunger.” Therefore I would recommend to be avoided in the regime or diets of many small meals. It is not so much a problem when you eat, but what you eat. If you would eliminate from your meals food that could potentially cause hypoglycemia (listed above), the problem will be solved easily.

However, if you eat many small meals, you could cause with this risk of confusion in your hunger signals. Meaning, that as a result of all written above, you will eat enough, but still in the end of the day you will still feel hunger.  Moreover you will find out with the surprise that on your list of food you are allowed to cheeses, which are normally prohibited in losing weight diets. However, without fear: with a balanced diet and the right amount of dairy products will help your metabolism. More important is to remove food which is distracting your metabolism and effectiveness of insulin.

Foods which help you lose weight

Green vegetables – stimulates metabolism, meat – stimulates metabolism, eggs and dairy products – , liver - stimulates metabolism, tea from the sweet root – removes hypoglycemia.

Reaction to stress – aerobics (44-60 min, 3x per week), tennis (45-60 min, 3x per week), martial arts (30-60 min, 3x per week), rhythmic gymnastics (30-45 min, 3x per week), walk (30-60 min, 3x per week), cycling (45-60 min, 3x per week), swimming (30-45 min, 3x per week), fast walking (30-60 min, 3x per week), jogging (30-45 min, 3x per week), lifting weights (30-45 min, 3x per week), golf (60 minutes, 2x per week), tai Chi (45 min, 2x a week), hata Yoga (45 min, 2x a week).

NUTRITION

Meat – look like there is directs link between stress, autoimmune diseases and beef meat, at least in blood group B. Our ancestors were more likely to adapt to other types of meat (after all, tundra is an ideal habitat for cows …). If you feel tired or your immune system does not work the best, prefer to choose between the sheep, goat or rabbit meat instead of beef and turkey. Indeed, I would recommend to slowly giving up chicken meat because it contains lectins which are harmful to the group B.

If you already do not want to give up white meat, do chose between turkey and pheasant. Many would be surprise to find out, that for blood type B, there is no go to switch from red meat to white meat. It would do you any good. Actually, it would be pointless to do that for people with group B. It is not the quantity of fat in meat that is significant, but lectins, which are contained and which will cause you problems in a long run, most likely problems in the circulatory and immune system.

Useful: lamb, mutton, rabbit, venison. Neutral: Beef, buffalo meat, liver, pheasant, turkey, veal. Harmful: bacon, chicken, turkey, goose, quail, duck, honey, pork.

Fish – Fish are an excellent food for the group B, in particular the deep-sea fish, which live in cold waters of the oceans as cod and salmon, which are rich nutritional oils. White fish such as plaice is also an excellent source of protein for high-quality group B. Avoided should be crab and mussel. (it is very difficult because for me to named them all, as the fishes use several names …).

Milk, dairy products and eggs – bloody type B is the only group that tolerates well many dairy products. The reason is very simple; the antigen of type B has an integral part of fucosy and D-galatosamin- sugar, which is similar to sugar in the milk. You can also enjoy the eggs (3-4 per week), because you can’t find lectins in it, as is known for chicken meat.

What if you have intolerance to lactose? First, start with any preparatory containing the enzyme lactose which “digest” lactose in milk. In a few weeks (when you start the diet for group B), start with a small amounts of dairy products (yogurt or kefir first), so that your digestive tract have time to get used to the new diet. It have point up, that most members of group B have overcome intolerance, once you have also corrected other food “mistakes”.

Useful: feta, goat cheese, cream cheese, goat milk, kefir, mozzarella, salted cow cheese, or 2% skimmed milk, yogurt (fruit or white). Neutral: Brie, butter, Camembert, Parmesan, cheese made from buffalos’ milk, Cheddar, Edam, emental, neufchatel, whole milk, Swiss cheese, gruyere, Muenster, Provolone, soy cheese, soy milk, cream cheese (formaggini). Harmful: ice cream, gorgonzola, processed cheese.
