Live Right 4 Your Type
When Eat Right 4 Your Type was published five years ago, we began with a simple premise: Blood type was the only way to explain the many paradoxes in dietary studies and disease survival. Why were some people able to lose weight on a particular diet, while others were not?
From that idea, Eat Right 4 Your Type opened up new avenues of investigation that took us well beyond the diet itself. If blood type was the key to how we should eat, might it not also be the key to how we should live? This provocative question gained increasing validity with the rapid progress of genetic research, which enabled a study of blood type's cellular influence in every area of human physiology.
The result is Live Right 4 Your Type, a system-wide blueprint of your individual strengths and weaknesses, based on your blood type. Your blood type has everything to do with how you digest food, your ability to respond to stress, your mental state, the efficiency of your metabolism, and the strength of your immune system. In the pages of this book, we take that knowledge and build a practical construct that will help you:
- choose a lifestyle that agrees with your needs and tendencies
- structure your days to reduce stress and gain satisfaction
- raise your children in such ways as to maximize their unique potential
- live longer, avoiding the mental and physical deterioration of aging
- fine-tune your dietary strategies to produce new levels of energy and stamina
- overcome the chronic health conditions that may have plagued you and your family for decades
- find emotional balance and the elimination of anxiety and depression
- feel "right" in your body, your mind, and your world
Each blood-type life prescription shows how, according to blood type, you should adapt your lifestyle, deal with stress and put into practice the right strategies for aging, to achieve emotional balance, maximize your health and overcome disease.
