You do well with high protein foods, especially deep ocean fish; organically raised poultry (not chicken) and eggs; lean, organically raised red meat, especially liver; and wild game, especially venison. Dairy and eggs work well for you. These products should be from organically raised animals. In addition, most grains and legumes (beans and peas) are good for you. And, last but not least, you need to consume large amounts of fresh, organically raised green vegetables and their juices as well as fresh, organically raised fruits and their juices.

You should avoid corn and things made with it. You should also eliminate lentils, peanuts, sesame seeds, buckwheat, and wheat.

You need to emphasize balance with intense and relaxation exercises and activities.

The more faithfully you try to regularly use your best foods and the more you avoid your no foods the more rapidly you will see improvements in your health.

Exercise Suggestions for Blood Type B

1. Never exercise to the point of fatigue. Slow and steady progress is always best. Monitoring your heart rate is a great way to determine if you should be exercising or not.
2. Find your Resting Heart Rate (RHR) by taking your pulse at either your wrist or at the carotid artery on your neck. Your strongest pulse, on the palm side of your wrist, is on the thumb side, 1-2" below your hand toward your elbow. Your carotid pulse is easy to find while exercising because it really pounds. This pulse can be located about one inch on either side of the middle of the front of your neck, approximately one inch up from your Adam's apple, below your jaw.

   The best time to take your RHR is first thing in the morning before getting out of bed (before you sit up or stand up). To calculate your beats per minute, take your pulse for 6 seconds and put a zero at the end of the number of beats that you counted. To be more accurate, you could count the beats for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 or count the beats for 15 seconds and multiply by 4. Keep a record of your first morning RHR for one week. Add the numbers together and divide by 7. Use this number for your AVERAGE RHR. If your first morning RHR is ever 10 beats or more per minute above or below your average RHR, do not do anything strenuous that day or until your first morning RHR is again within 10 beats of your average RHR.

3. 1. Choose one or more of the exercises listed on the Optimum Training Rate page for OTR activity(s) for blood type B. Warm Up page for warm up suggestions) to bring your heart rate up to your OTR - 30 BPM (In the above example, that would be 125 - 30 = 95.)
   2. Practice proper breathing techniques (See the Proper Breathing section below.)
   3. For the next 5 - 10 minutes, begin your OTR activity very slowly while breathing very deeply through your nose. Keep your heart rate at 30 BPM below your OTR.
   4. For the next 10 - 20 minutes, continue your OTR activity, but keep your heart rate at or below your OTR while continuing to breathe through your nose only.
   5. Cool down slowly, using the same or one of the other Warm Up activities the for at least 5 - 10 minutes, to return your heart rate to its warm up level (e.g. 100), before stopping.
4. Exercise as often as your RHR allows and you feel like exercising. Try to find more than one
   OTR Activity that you really like so you can vary your workouts to minimize boredom. Exercise is cumulative. Five to ten minutes of walking after each meal is 15 to 30 minutes of exercise for that day.

To relearn proper nose breathing, try the following:

1. Inhale normally through your nose.
2. As you breathe out through your nose, slightly tighten your throat as if you are lightly snoring.
3. Notice that you must contract your abdominal muscles to make the “snoring” sound during your exhale. The tighter you contract your stomach muscles with each exhale, the more resonant the snoring sound. As long as you can make that sound, proper breathing will occur.
4. Once you can make this sound with a shallow breath, increase the depth of each breath while making a quality, resonant snoring sound with each exhale. You can also do this on each inhale.
5. Practice every chance you get while lying down, sitting, or walking. When it becomes very easy, use this type of breathing, especially during each exhale, during your regular exercise time.
