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.

Best food for blood type 0
In my previous post I already mentioned some sort of food, which are highly recommended for blood type 0. In this post, I will write a bit more about suitable seafood, vegetables and fruit.

Fish – they are excellent source of proteins, which are very suitable for group 0. Specially sort of fish that comes from cold waters as cod, mackerel and herring.  During human evolution there was a process of changes in blood concentration, which haven’t been present in blood 0 yet. That way blood group 0 is so rare, which is not very condensable and coagulates.

This process can be reduced with consumption of fish oil. Fish oil is very good with intestinal inflammation, as group 0 is more subservience to colitis and croon disease. Nevertheless sea food is a excellent source of iodine, which regulates function of thyroid gland. Therefore, lets sea food be on your menu very often. Useful: ginger, raw salmon, swordfish, halibut, hake, white fish, cod, river perch, sardines, mackerel, herring, pike, rainbow trout. Neutral: eel, mussel, carp, sea trout, sea salmon, sea devil, plaice, oysters, crabs, redfish, scallop pilgrimage, sardines, cuttlefish and calamari, tuna, haddock. Harmful: sea bass, octopus, caviar, smoked salmon, marinated herring.

MILK, DAIRY PRODUCTS AND EGGS – Group 0 must drastically reduce limit of dairy products, because their organism have hard time intake it. In this group of food, you won’t find usefully and recommended food.  Limitations for these foods are as fallow; 4-5 eggs per week and very small amount of dairy products. But another thing is, that not using enough dairy products can lead to shortage of calcium, especially for young people and for women in the menopause. Therefore, is much recommended to get enough calcium with dietary supplements. Neutral: goat cheese, butter, mozzarella, sheep’s cheese (feta), soy cheese and soya milk. Harmful: Yogurt (all types), kefir, curd, cheese from cow’s milk, milk (skimmed or whole), processed cheese, ice cream, cheese with mold.

OILS AND FATS – Group 0 tolerates fat, which represents a good source of energy for these people and helps regulate digestion and purgation. Very suitable are olive oil and linseed oil, because they help reduce bad cholesterol in the blood. Useful: olive oil, linseed oil. Neutral: rapeseed oil, fish oil, sesame oil. Harmful: peanut oil, coconut butter, oil, cotton oil.

Fruit and nuts – they contain good protein which suits the best group 0, but still they can replaced meat and fishes, especially they are quite fat. People with weight problems should limit consumption of nuts. Dry fruit could cause some digest problems, therefore is recommended to chew it very good or even better, only use oils and butters made of this nuts.

Useful: nuts, Pumpkin seeds. Neutral: almond and almond butter, sesame butter, chestnuts, sunflower margarine, American walnut, Macadamia nuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, Sesame seeds, nuts. Harmful: peanuts, peanut butter, litchi, Brazil nuts, pistachio, poppy seed.

Legume – group 0 is not using proteins in legumes as they should. In general legumes are blocking assimilation of important nutrients from the food. Good example is meat. In addition to that, they make muscles less acidic, which isn’t very good for this type of group. Group 0 is maintaining health and vitality with slight acidity in the muscles.
But, do not mix up muscle acidity with acidity of digestive juices.  Nevertheless use legumes in small quantities, approx. 1-2 times a week.

Useful: aduke beans, Adzuki beans. Neutral: cannellini (white beans), string beans, green beans, peas, chick peas, black beans, field beans, lima beans. Harmful: mountain lentils, kidney beans, red lentils, green lentils, Tamarinds.

CEREALS AND CEREAL PRODUCTS - People with group 0 do not tolerate any of wheat products; therefore wheat should be banned from all menus. Wheat contains lectins, which react with blood and digestive tract and are obstructing absorption of important nutrients.

Wheat is the main reason for blood type 0 to gain weight. All gluten that wheat contains slows down metabolism and helps you to gain weight. It’s the same story with pastries, which are mainly made from wheat flour.
Even though you will still be using a big part of permitted types of cereal; still be very careful and do not go over the top.

Neutral: Amaranth, Buckwheat flour, basmati rice, bread, Essen (from toughened wheat), barley flour, Pirin bread, bread with coarse rye flour, natural unglazed rice flour, prose bread, quinoa, rice (white, wild), rice flour, rice waffles, rye bread, rye flour. Harmful: Bulgur, Graham bread, maize flour, corn meal, corn flakes, corn starch, cuscus, strong wheat flour, oat flakes, oat Bran, oat Bran, Oat flour, man-wheat flour, whole meal bread, wheat, wheat flakes, wheat germ, wheat bran wheat bread, wheat flour (type 405), wheat flour with germ, wheat grouts, noodles (durum), rye bread with Bran (pumpernickel).

VEGETABLES -  There are all sorts of vegetables, which are very useful and good for blood type 0. But still be a bit careful with fallowing vegetables; cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower which are obstructing function of thyroid. Thyroid is in general quite lazy in group 0. Green vegetables, which contains a lot of vitamin C – vegetables as kale, green cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, spinach – it’s however very useful. Do not forget, what I mentioned before, that vitamin C helps with blood coagulation problems.

Alfalfa seeds have a lot of substance, which can irritate gastrointestinal tract and may even worse problems with digestive juice problems. Also some mushroom could be problematic – I would recommend avoiding mushrooms šitaki.

Vegetables as aubergines and potatoes cause pain or inflammation of limbs. Corn lectins are affecting production of insulin in the body, which can lead to diabetes. Group 0 should also avoid corn products, even more, if they are overweighed or have diabetes in the family. Tomato is the exception here; rich, with strong lectins, which cause problems to blood type A and B, but are good for blood type 0.

Useful: artichokes, Swiss chard, broccoli, pumpkin, onion, garlic, produce, cabbage, Swedes, peppers (red), leeks, dandelion, roman lettuce, spinach, green chicory, sweet potato (batata). Neutral: Bamboo shoots, RIBBED vegetables, chilli, Head lettuce, germ mungo beans, fennel (fennel), carrots, cucumber, Iceberg, Lamb’s lettuce, green olives, catfish, pak-Choi, peppers (yellow and green) tomatoes, spring onions, chicory, red beets, radishes, rocket, Swedes, shallots, asparagus, water cress, green.  Harmful: alfalfa germ, avocados, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, cauliflower, aubergines, Chinese cabbage, corn, black olives, red cabbage, champignons, šitaki mushrooms, cabbage.

FRUIT – group 0 can enjoy all sorts of fruit. Fruit is not only a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, but also represents good substitute for bread and pasta. Piece of fruit will be more suitable to your body then bread; at the same time this will also help you lose weight. You may be surprised to find your favorite fruit on banned list, but on the other hand, you will find a lot of suitable fruits for your group.

Plums, prunes and figs are very useful to you, because most of the dark red, blue and purple fruits usually cause basic reaction in digestive tract and with this balance highly acidity in digestive tract. But still beware, that some of the fruit may contain mold, which is very unsuitable for this group. Watermelon is one of them for example.

Do enjoy allowed melons and watermelons in small quantities. Also oranges, mandarins and raspberries are not very recommended, because they contain a lot of acid. Grapefruit also have high quantities of acid, but you can still enjoy them in small quantities as it has basic digest reaction.

Group 0 are very sensitive to the coconut and all products that contain it. It’s also good to check that products you enjoy, do not have a coconut oil in it, as it has high calorific value.

Useful: dark plums, red plums, prunes, green plums, figs, dried figs. Neutral: pineapples, bananas, elderberries, blueberries, peaches, cranberries, cherries, Dates, Pomegranates, grapefruit, grapes, guavas, pears, apples, carambola, kiwi fruit, gooseberries, limes, lemons, watermelons, raspberries, mangos, apricots, melons (Kananga, Spanish), nectarines, papaya, rhubarb, currants (red and black), raisins. Harmful: Strawberries, Coconuts, leeches, mandarins, melons (honey, cantaloupe), oranges, blackberries.

JUICES – Group 0 is more suitable for vegetables juices, which are more basic. If you drink fruit juice, choose between these who have little or no added sugar. Pineapple juice is very good to drain water from the body and to prevent meteorism, factors that contribute to an increase in weight. Cherry juice is also very useful, because is alkaline. In principle, you can use all vegetables and fruits, which are allowed or quite neutral.
Useful: pineapple juice, cherry juice, prunes juice. Neutral: grape juice, lemon juice, vegetable juices allowed, apricot juice, juice, carrots, cucumber juice, tomato juice, grapefruit juice, papaya juice, green juice, blueberry juice. Harmful: Cider, apple juice, orange juice, cabbage juice.

SPICES AND HERBS – If you decided to choose the right spices for your blood type, you could increase effectiveness of your digest tract and immune system. Additives, that contain for example laminario, are very suitable for group 0, because they are rich on iodine and essential for proper thyroid function. Also iodine salt is suitable, but still be careful of not using it too much.

Algae Laminaria helps alleviate stomach acidity and thus reduce possibilities of stomach infections. Do not forget that also seaweed is good regulator of metabolism and are great help to lose weight. Parsley works as sedative for your digestive system, as well as some spicy herbs as curry and savory red pepper.

But remember, that black pepper and white wine vinegar will irritate your gastrointestinal. You can use a sauce which contains sugar; neither chocolate will be harmful for this type. But do avoid corn syrup as sweetener.

Useful: cayenne pepper, curry, ginger, parsley, curcuma.

Neutral: basil, bergamot, garlic Chives chocolate, mustard, horseradish, anise, maple syrup, barley malt, cocoa, cardamom, coriander, chervil, cumin, light mayonnaise, honey, carnation beings, bay leaf, marjoram, molasses, Cumin, paprika powder, Tarragon, allspice, pepper mint, red pepper (cayenne), rosemary, white, brown and unrefined sugar, salt, soy sauce, soy paste, thyme, sage, saffron, sauce Worcester.

Harmful: balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, apple vinegar, capers, wine vinegar, Muscovy walnut, vanilla, black and white pepper, corn syrup, tomato ketchup.

Herbal teas and other drinks – I suggest you think of herbal tea as way of increasing effectiveness and to fight against your congenital weaknesses. Aim for group 0 is to calm down our digestive and immune system. Herbs as mint, parsley, rosehip and sarsaparilla are a big help to achieve that. On the other hand, herbs as aloa, whiskers, corn and some others are the one that irritates your system.

Useful: ginseng, hops, ginger, lime flowers, pepper mint, dandelion, sarsaparilla, rosehip, club soda, seltzer water, water. Neutral: valerian, white birch, elder, hawthorn, chamomile, cat mint, raspberry leaves, green mint, milfoil, thyme, wine, seltz water, soda, beer, green tea, sage. Harmful: black tea, diet lemonade, gentian, strawberry leaves, real coffee, rhubarb, Echinacea, spirit drinks, cola.

I recommend to choose between food beneficial and neutral, otherwise it may lead to a lack of certain vitamins and minerals. Avoid harmful foods. Recommended additives – the main task for additives is to replace substance, that are missing in daily food, and give you protection, where is needed the most: to stimulate metabolism, improve blood thickening, prevent infections, stabilization of thyroid function.

Therefore, try to eat in accordance with your blood type – And Feel The Difference.
