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.

Blood group A have accurse somewhere before 2500 to 15,000 years ago (in full Neolithic), around Asia or the Middle East, as a reply to changed ambiental conditions.
In this period it was distinctive incensement of farming and livestock cultivation. This has represented a major challenge for organism, which was only used to proteins, fruit and vegetables digestion. Ample supplies if food have encouraged evolution of the human kind. Since people were no longer obligated to daily look for food, they have developed communities and villages.

Among all existent mutations blood group A have push itself to forward. Blood group A is very good with tolerating wheat and other cereals of agricultural crops. Instead of hunting skills, more and more are necessary; communication skills, planning and communication with the community.

These are all characteristics, which we can still find today with people with blood type A. Blood type A have spread very rapidly in the community, as a result of greater resistance to infections, which was opposite to blood type 0, which was diluted with fever in cholera epidemics (cholera was quite frequent in populated communities.

Blood group A have spread to Western Europe quite soon, where is even today widely present, especially in countries around the Mediterranean Sea.

Characteristics; the first vegetarian, reap what sow, a sensitive digested tract, tolerant immune system, adapts good to the environment and regular diet, to sent mind at rest with breathing exercises, needs agrarian diet to maintain body weight and body energy. For group A is very suitable vegetarian food, this is the inheritance of their more peaceful ancestors and also less eager to fight. If you are already fallowing Mediterranean diet already, then crossing to vegetarian food not going to be traumatic at all.

However, the change is necessary because people with group A needs vegetarian food, with a lots of fruit, food produces naturally, without pesticides and conservatives. Group A is more disposed to the fallowing problems; group A have tendency of heart diseases, diabetes and tumor. These are the most common problems with this group, but, of course not necessary your illness. If you will take into account these guidance for your blood group diet, you will strengthen your immune system and thereby reduce occurrence of very severe disease.

Some other problems: Diabetes type 1 (children), Bronchitis and pneumonia, Parasites, Rheumatoid arthritis.
Food that will help you gain weight: meat (difficulty digestion, moreover this leads to accumulation of fat and toxins in the body), milk and dairy products are inhibiting metabolism and absorption of other nutrients, some types of beans n(very interfere with the digestive juices and slow down the metabolism), wheat (to many -  blocking effectiveness of insulin and thus inhibit the consumption of eaten calories).

Foods which help you lose weight: vegetable oils (make digestion more effectively and prevent water retention in the body), food from soybean (improves digestion, its rapidly digested and metabolized), vegetables (accelerate metabolism and improve peristalsis), and pineapples (increase the usefulness of calories and promotes peristalsis). Reaction to stress: reaction to tress with group A in very intellectual, adrenalin in the body stimulates brain and causing tension, nervousness, persistent and hyperactivity. If the stress lasts for a long time this situation weakness immune system, destroyed antibodies and thus opens the way to several infections, heart diseases and also various type to cancer.

In order to defend stress, group A should use relaxing techniques as yoga and meditation in order to avoid constant tension. Also suitable are Tai či or Hata Yoga. To perform relaxing techniques do not apply any physical effort, but its mainly involved mental exercises.

Highly competitive sports will only exhausted your nervous system as they will increase tension and thus take your immune system into hypersensitivity state.
Recommended sports: Tai-či (30-45 min, 3-5x a week) , Hata-Yoga (30 min, 3-5x a week), Golf (60 min, 2-3x per week) , Swimming (30 min, 3-4x a week), Martial arts (60 min, 2-3x per week),  Fast walking (20-40 min, 2-3x per week) , Dance (30-45 min, 2-3x per week) , Aerobics (30-45 min, 2-3x per week) , Stretching (15 min, 3-5x a day).

NUTRITION

Meat – People with blood group A should remove from daily diet almost all types of meat because this is the only way to reduced circulatory system diseases and cancer. It’s quite understandable, that you will need some time, to change your habit to change to vegetarian food, but it’s important to start.  Start by removing from your diet all the beef and pork meat, and replace it with fish and white chicken meat and turkey made it in the oven or on the grill. Meat industry must forget on you as a customer, since these products contain nitrites, which could cause stomach cancer to the people, which have low lever of stomach acid – people with group A. Neutral: chicken, turkey. Harmful: goose, beef, lamb, deer, liver, rabbit, quail, duck, bacon, baby, deer, pork, ham, veal, rabbit.

FISH – A group A may eat moderate quantities of fish 3-4x a week, but it should avoid any white fish, as a plaice, because it contains lectins, which irritates digestive tract. If you are a woman with blood type A and there have been cancer present in your family, consider to get on your menu snails. Garden snails contain lectins, which modify cancer cells, in particular those of cancer in the chest.

Here are some examples where lectins work for our side: fish prepared in the oven, on the grill on the white source, – only preparing it this way will help you get the most of this food.  Useful: carp, raw salmon, sea trout, sea devil, white fish, cod, river perch, sardines, mackerel, rainbow trout.  Neutral: sturgeon, swordfish, redfish, pike, white tuna, seabass. Harmful: sea bass, octopus, eel, mussel, lepotka – venernica, smoked salmon, sea language sea salmon, plaice, halibut, oysters, hake, crustaceans, pilgrimage scallop (capesante), sardines, cuttlefish (KALAMAR), herring (marinated), which, haddock, frogs.

MILK, DAIRY PRODUCTS AND EGGS

Group A can take in only small quantities, of fermented cheese, but should avoid products with whole milk, and also limit consumptions of eggs ( 1-3 a week). Anyone, who is used to consume milk products daily, should not necessary completely eliminate them, it should be enough to choose from the less-fat products such as yoghurt or skimmed milk, kefir, and some cheeses. Goat milk is a good substitute cow and of course, soy milk and soya cheese.

Group A have quite difficulties digesting dairy products. The reason is as fallow: the immune system produces antibodies to one of the components of whole milk, sugar, D-galaktozamine, which together with the fructose builds up B antigen. Since the immune system react to everything that remains to blood type B, also reacts to whole milk products.

If you are allergic or have respiratory problems, you can be sure that the consumption of dairy products increased production of mucus, which is a good basis for the reproduction of bacteria. Therefore, this is one more reason to restrict dairy products in your diet. Useful: soy milk, soy cheese.  Neutral: goat milk, goat cheese, processed cheese, yogurt, kefir, mozzarella, sheep’s cheese (feta), Ricotta. Harmful: curd, granular curd, Brie, Camembert, Cheddar, Edam, Emmental, Gouda, gruyere, Münster and skimmed milk, Parmesan cheese, buttermilk, Provolone cheese with noble mold, whey, ice cream, cream cheese.
