How Blood Type Determines Your Health

After reading some of my articles you might be overwhelmed with how to start feeling better with a different way of eating and diet.
This next information really helped me. I didnt realize how much better I fely not eating chicken and tomatoes until I just took them off my plate. I now, of course, have to make two different meals sometimes, because hubby can eat chicken not beef and I can eat beef not chicken. Its strange, but it seems to work. Fortunally, we can eat turkey and some fish.
By combining my digestion suggestions and this "Blood Type" diet along with taking any necessary suppliments you could feel a lot different along with more energy.
Here is how this goes. First find out your blood type. Next I go to the DO NOT EAT part of this diet and focus on those items. My hubby is type A and eats mainly fish, some meat, and veggies. As for me, thank goodness, I can eat meat and of course veggies and fruits.

Digestion

Digestion...yes the big problem for many adults. Remember years ago, your parents told you to eat slower and chew chew chew. I remember hearing once you should chew 25 times.

Today most folks suffer from acid reflux or just plain indigestion. I believe this is because we are in such a rush and just don't take time to eat correct. Also, eating as we do now, gives us gas, indigestion, and heart burn.

With firsthand experience, we have seemed to lessen this problem with 4 easy tips:

1) Smaller meals.

Eat until you are full with smaller portions. If you are eating out ask your server for a box and put half your meal in it. If you are like me you will eat till you are full then sit there and pick until it’s all gone.

2) Smaller bites

Put your fork/spoon down between bites. Heck chopsticks would be your best bet.

3) Chew Chew Chew

This allows the digestive juices to start breaking down your food. Let your digestive enzymes in your stomach to do their job. Drinking any liquid with a meal dilutes this process, therefore making our stomach work harder, giving you acid indigestion.

Here are a few drugs that are prescribed by your MD. There are 17 on this page. Check it out.

What is Organic?

What is organic?

Organic is a labeling term that indicates that the food or other agricultural product has been produced through approved methods that integrate cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering may not be used

That is todays definition. As a young adult organic was growing a garden in your back yard without using any pesticides. All seeds were kept from last year and the only spray for bugs was a couple drops of ivory liquid soap in a galon of water sprayed on the bug infested areas. Lady bugs were always around and sometimes we inported in praying mantus.

Today being labled organic is real tough. There are so many hoops to jump through that most just lable themselves local, conventional (non synthetic pesticides), and natural (sustainable). All of these lables are basically organice with out the tons of paperwork and regulations. Their produce isn't as expensive as organic.

Requirements vary from country to country, and generally involve a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include:

· no human sewage sludge fertilizer used in cultivation of plants or feed of animals

· avoidance of synthetic chemical inputs not on the National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives, etc.), genetically modified organisms, irradiation, and the use of biosolids;

· use of farmland that has been free from prohibited synthetic chemicals for a number of years (often, three or more);

· keeping detailed written production and sales records (audit trail);

· maintaining strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products;

· undergoing periodic on-site inspections.

In some countries, certification is overseen by the government, and commercial use of the term organic is legally restricted. Certified organic producers are also subject to the same agricultural, food safety and other government regulations that apply to non-certified producers.

Below will show you the differences:

	Organic	Sustainable
Certification	must be independently certified every year (actual certification)	practices do not require any official certification (more a philosophy or way of life)
Animal Welfare	need to give animals "access" to outdoors, but they can actually confine animals and gain organic certification with as little as an open door leading to a cement patio	animals must be permitted to carry out their natural behaviors, like rooting, pecking or grazing
Antibiotics	antibiotics can be fed to organic-certified livestock	Many farmers using sustainable practices do not administer any antibiotics at all (they are not restricted), but some may do so when their animals are sick and need to be treated. The milk and meat of animals given antibiotics on these farms are not used for human consumption until the antibiotics have fully passed out of the animals' systems
Artificial Hormones	No added or artificial hormones are allowed	nor are they used for sustainable farming
Corp Involvement	food can be produced by large corporations	food can be produced by large corporations, but most are not.
