Type ‘O’s thrive on intense physical exercise and animal protein. The digestive tracts of Type O retain the memory of ancient times. The high-protein hunter-gatherer diet and the enormous physical demands placed on the systems of early Type ‘O’s probably kept most primitive humans in a mild state of ketosis – a condition in which the body’s metabolism is altered. The combination of ketosis, calorie deprivation and constant physical activity made for a lean, mean hunting machine – the key to the survival of the human race.
The success of Type O” diet depends on your use of lean, organic meats, poultry and fish. Type ‘O’s don’t find dairy products and grains quite as user-friendly as most of the other blood types because the Type ‘O’ digestive systems have still not adapted to them fully.

Type O Supplement Advisory The role of supplements – be they vitamins, minerals or herbs – is to add the nutrients that are lacking in your diet and to provide extra protection where you need it. The supplement focus for Type ‘O’s includes:
1. Supercharging the metabolism with B-vitamins
2. Increasing low blood clotting activity with Vitamin K foods (leafy green vegetables such as cabbage, lettuce, spinach and broccoli etc and also vegetable oils).
3. Prevention of inflammations by adequate enzymes and right diet.
4. Stabilizing the thyroid with high iodine foods.
