RECOMMENDED FOODS FOR BLOOD TYPE 'O'

The body has a natural ability to heal itself and is constantly striving for balance. Eat variety of foods right for your type and consume the right amount of food and drink to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.

Always keep your body hydrated. When water is consumed in sufficient amounts, your urine becomes colorless. Drinking two glasses of water 30 minutes before meal, may help you lose weight.


  • Sea foods
This should be made a major component of the type 'o' diet. It is best suited for type 'o's. Fish is packed with protein , vitamins and nutrients that can lower blood pressure and help reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke. Many sea foods are excellent sources of iodine, which regulates thyroid function. Unstable thyroid function causes metabolic problems and weight gain.
  •   Meat and Poultry
Type 'o's high stomach acid allows efficient meat digestion. High stomach acid content enables type 'o's to efficiently digest meats. Be careful to balance meat protein with vegetables and fruits to avoid over-acidification, which can cause irritation of the stomach lining and ulcers. Eat only organic meat.
  •  Dairy and eggs
Type 'o's may eat an occasional egg and small amounts of dairy, but it is generally a poor protein source for type 'o's. Use non-dairy milk alternatives instead like soy, rice and almond milks. Soya milk and cheese are excellent high-protein alternatives for type 'o's.
  •  Oils
Extra virgin olive oil can be beneficial to your health and well-being. In addition to strengthening the immune system and helping to protect against viruses, olive oil has been found effective in fighting against cancer, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.
  •  Nuts and Seeds
Another good protein for blood type 'o'. Rich in energy, protein, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. They should be eaten selectively because they are high in calories. Raw is best, not salted or roasted but if you are trying to lose weight, reduce your intake of nuts.
  •  Grains
Wheat products are a primary factor in type 'o' weight gain. Glutens in wheat germ interfere with type 'o' metabolic processes. Inefficient metabolism causes food to convert more slowly to energy and store itself as fat.
  •  Vegetables
Eat raw vegetable or steamed for best nutrients. Vegetables, sprouts, organic soy products and fresh herbs are best for type 'o'. Vegetables contain good amounts of vitamins and minerals. All kinds of vegetables are rich sources of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin C and A.
  • Fruits
Eat fruits alone or one hour apart from other foods and best time is in the morning. Fruits are an excellent alternative for type 'o's.
  • Water
It plays an essential role and not only does it enable nutrition but also removes toxins. It is your body's principal chemical component.



Take note that foods listed above are only recommendations. If you feel fatigued or discomfort after a meal, check the ingredients; learn the source of your problem.
