THE A BLOOD TYPE (FOOD & SPORT TYPE)

THE A TYPE

The A type lacks some enzymes that are required to digest animal proteins effectively. Therefore, they are not suggested to consume too much meat and poultry, for the excess materials undigested can be toxic and harmful to the body.

SPORTS WHICH ARE BENEFICIAL FOR A TYPE

Sports recommended for A type are those that creates full body health, clean respiratory system, and good immune system. They are fully encouraged to set a life style of regular sports, especially more to the relaxing and light-aerobic ones.

Steps toward effective sport:

1. Before aerobic practice, do some warm-ups (stretch and flexibility).
2. To fully obtain cardiovascular benefits for your body, practice till you reach a heart rate of 70% of your maximum capacity. After you reach the heart rate desired, keep practicing to maintain it for 20-30 minutes. Here's how you count your upper heart rate goal:
    a. Substract your age from 220. (for example, I am 18 years old. 220-18 = 202)
    b. Multiply the result by 0.7 (for example, mine is 202 x 0.7 = 141.4)
        This is my upper heart rate goal.
3. End every aerobic session with some cooling-down activities for at least five minutes (stretch and relaxation).

Here are a list of sports ideal for the A blood type:

  1. Hatha Yoga, 40-50 minutes, 3-4 times per week
  2. Taichi, 40-50 minutes, 3-4 times per week
  3. Light aerobic, 40-50 minutes, 2-3 times per week
  4. Treadmill, 30 minutes, 2-3 times per week
  5. Pilates, 40-50 minutes, 3-4 times per week
  6. Weightlifting (2/3 - 4/5 kgs), 15 minutes, 2-3 times per week
  7. Stationary bike, 30 minutes, 2-3 times per week
  8. Swimming, 30 minutes, 2-3 times per week
  9. Striding (fast walking), 45 minutes, 2-3 times per week

Here's a list of food which are very beneficial for A type, and are highly suggested to consume in a regular basis:

   1. Soy-based food

   2. Cold water fish rich of oil (sardine)

   3. Linseed oil

   4. Olive oil

   5. Broccoli

   6. Onion

   7. Berries (blueberry, cherry, cranberry, elderberry)

   8. Citrus orange

   9. Garlic

 10. Green tea

And here are the list of food.

      Some things to consider before we start the food list,

There are three categories dividing these foods. First, YES. Food in this category acts as a MEDICINE for your blood type, and can help fight diseases and improve your health greatly. Second, OKAY. "Okay" food serves as FOOD. They are not very beneficial, and may be consumed rarely/occasionally. Meanwhile, food in the category NO acts like POISON for your blood type, and therefore, should be avoided/better yet, not eaten at all.

Different dosage of food differs from each people type.
There are TWO general types of people:
  1. SECRETOR
  2. NON-SECRETOR

To see which one you are easily, check your earwax (kotoran telinga).
If it is wet, you are a SECRETOR.
If it is dry and sand-like, you are a NON-SECRETOR.
Later in the food list you may check the weekly portions you are allowed to eat in order to get the full benefits of the food you're having.

FYI: the food on this list are for general health advice, and are not meant to be substitutes for medicines or therapies. Also, in some cases, people may have their own bodily conditions that require them to consume more or less some kinds of food than the others. This should be consulted with doctors.

Goodluck, thank you, and Godblessyou! :)
