Blood Type `O’

In general, type `O' blood group of people may be classified as extroverted individuals.

Most of the time, they are the more organized group of people and tend to be more

responsible in their work. Basically, they are more objective-orientated when executing tasks.

When it comes to stress, the 'O' people require a lot more to knock them off kilter.

However, once they are pushed to the point of dramatic response, it usually takes

them longer to recover.

For Type Os, they may benefit from the following diet and lifestyle strategies:

Lifestyle Strategies

• Develop a clear plan for goals and tasks - annual, monthly, weekly, daily.

• Make lifestyle changes gradually, rather than trying to tackle everything at once

• Avoid making big decisions or spending money when you are stressed.

• Do something physical when you are anxious.

• Engage in forty-five to sixty minutes of aerobic exercises at least three times a week

Dietary Guidelines

• Eat small to moderate portion of high-quality, lean, organic meat several times a week for strength, energy and efficient metabolism.

• Include regular portions of richly oiled cold-water fish. Fish provides omega-3

fatty acids, which can help counter inflammatory conditions, improve thyroid function and boost your metabolism.

• Consume little or no dairy foods. They are difficult for you to digest.

• Eliminate wheat and wheat-based products from your diet. They usually cause more problems than any other food for Type Os. If you have digestive or weight problems, also eliminate oats.

• Limit your intake of beans, as they are not a particularly good protein source.

• Eat lots of beneficial fruits and vegetables.

• If you need a daily dose of caffeine, replace coffee with green tea. It is not acidic and has substantially less caffeine than a cup of coffee.

• Use beneficial and neutral nuts and dried fruits for snacks.

• Eat all meals, even snacks, seated at a table.

• Chew slowly, and put your fork down between bites of food.

• When you crave a pleasure-releasing substance (alcohol, tobacco, sugar), do something physical.

Eat right for Strength and Balance

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol, especially when you are in stressful situations.

Caffeine can be particularly harmful, because of its tendency to raise adrenaline and noradrenaline - which is already high for Type Os

• If you start to crave wheat, eat some protein; the craving will usually go away

• Don't under-eat or skip meals, especially if you're expending a lot of energy in exercise. Food deprivation is a huge stress

• Plan ahead to have foods on hand for a quick energy snack. This is especially important if you're on the go during the day. It is very difficult to find fast food that doesn't contain wheat.

Stress: Emotional Equalizers

For emotional health and avoidance of Type O-related mind-body imbalances, incorporate the following behaviors into your daily life.

• Practice anger management techniques

• Plan your weeks and days to minimize monotony. When Type Os get bored, they tend to take unreasonable risks

• Break up your work day with physical activity, especially if your job is sedentary. You’ll feel more energetic.

• Set up “small” rewards you can give yourself when you accomplish tasks.

• Stop smoking and avoid stimulants
