Blood Type B
This blood type has the ability
to thrive in changeable
situations.
Blood Type B when healthy is
more mentally balanced and
physically stronger than the
other blood types.
Type B is generally the tallest
of all the blood groups.
This blood type can be
nonconformist.
Bs are natural networkers so
group activities are important.
Type B can suffer from high
cortisol levels so minimizing
stress is a key factor for
health.
This blood type exhibits easy
going behavior and can be
less driven than other blood
groups.
If B is out of balance extreme
fatigue, depression and lack
of motivation can occur.

Approximately 40,000 years ago the only blood type that
existed in humans was the O Type as time pasted and food
sources have changed and integrated so has human blood
types. About 20 25,000 years ago saw the first change
with the development of blood type A. This was due to
the increase in human population causing a decline in
animal resources and the first signs of horticulture began.
Around 15,000 years ago agricultural and horticultural
practices had developed further to incorporate dairy,
meat, grains and plant foods into the human diet. Due to
this change blood Type B occurred to handle this
omnivorous diet.
The most recent change has seen AB Blood Type occurring
a blending of Type A Caucasian and Type B Mongolian.
This recent advance is no more than 1,500 year in the
making.
The blood type system was foundered by Karl Landsteiner
in 1900.
Blood type differences
Blood types are difference due to the protein or lack of
protein molecule called an antigen that presents on the
outside surface of the cell, this is present or not present so
the body can recognise the blood cell as self not foreign.
This factor is essential so the immune system does not
eliminate the blood cells.
Blood type B has B antigen. This antigen difference
decides what blood type are compatible with each other
during transfusion and organ donors.
Food and blood type
In 60 70 % of all food have lecithin proteins within them.
These proteins interact with blood type antigens (proteins
on the cell surface) in two ways they either see them as
friend or as foe. If they see a friend everything is
harmonious if foe (enemy) is presented then the lecithin
the blood cells. Therefore having a detrimental effect on
health according to Peter DAdamo.
This theory of blood type and the interaction with lecithin
proteins within food is the extensive works of James and
Peter DAdamo more detail can be obtained from the
