Recurrent Epstein Barr virus in Blood Types A, B and AB
Recovery from recurrent Epstein Barr virus need to be supported by the best possible diet. Knowing your blood type can help identify which foods are beneficial and which are toxic to your body and metabolism.
In an earlier post we discussed the theory of how eating according to your blood type can help your body heal from recurrent Epstein Barr virus. Today we are discussing the best foods and exercise programs for blood type A, B and AB.
Type A in recurrent Epstein Barr patients
People with Type A blood type are predisposed to heart disease, cancer, diabetes and immune problems like respiratory problems or chronic infections like recurrent Epstein Barr virus.
Type A blood types thrive on vegetarian diets. When they eat red meat they can feel sluggish and heavy, ultimately storing meat as fat. Excess dairy foods and wheat can also lead to impaired metabolism, as can kidney and lima beans. Foods that encourage good health in type A are fresh vegetables, vegetable oils, pineapple and soy foods.
Quieter, more relaxed exercise programs like yoga, tai chi, stretching or golf are well suited to type A. They can do moderate aerobic exercise like hiking, swimming and cycling, as long as it does not drain them of their nervous energy, and leave them more tense. When recovering from recurrent Epstein Barr virus it is important to monitor your response to exercise and to listen to your body.
A positive aspect of type A is their ability to utilise the best nature has to offer. They are clever, sensitive and passionate when in balance. They have more of a cooperative nature than type O, and deal well with the urban lifestyle.
Type B blood type
Type B is often sturdy and resilient and able to withstand many common diseases. They do seem more prone to immune disorders like recurrent Epstein Barr, chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis and lupus.
Foods that are beneficial for type B are green vegetables, meat, deep sea fish, eggs and organic liver. Foods to be avoided include wheat, corn, lentils, peanuts, chicken, sesame seeds and buckwheat. Wheat and buckwheat inhibit digestion and cause food to be stored as fat rather than be used for energy. The other foods hamper insulin production, causing low blood sugar and fatigue.
The ideal exercise program for type B is a combination of moderate aerobic exercise, like walking, cycling or tennis with some relaxation exercises like tai chi or yoga. When recovering from recurrent Epstein Barr virus, a graded exercise program is recommended starting off with gentle relaxation then building up to aerobic exercise with time.
When in balance, type B is flexible and creative. They are a combination of the strong, physical type O and the more sensitive type A.
Type AB Blood type
Type AB needs to work on strengthening their immune systems and following an anti-cancer and anti- heart disease regime.
Red meat, wheat, sweet corn, buckwheat, kidney and lima beans and seeds should be avoided. Foods to emphasize for recovery from recurrent Epstein Barr virus include tofu, seafood, green vegetables, kelp, dairy products, alkaline fruits and pineapple.
Type AB are very similar to type A in their stress response. They need to do calming exercises to relieve tension. Activities like yoga, tai chi or golf are excellent, or any moderately aerobic activity. Again when recovering from recurrent Epstein Barr virus it is best to start off slowly.
Type AB is a merge of the more sensitive type A with the balanced type B. Being less than a thousand years old it seems to have developed as a response to our rapidly changing environmental and dietary conditions.
