I hope the following tips will help parents hone in on their child’s eating and exercise needs based on their blood type – as well as what foods and environments would be best to keep the children alert in school and healthy.
Your Type-O Child must use their bodies. The key to creativity and academic achievement for them is heavy physical exercise. Before class begins, and intermittently throughout the day these children should participate in vigorous physical activity.
Games that involve running – such as basketball -- are extremely beneficial. Why your Type O blood type child is physically active, they become more alert. If your child has a an exam – have him run and play right before taking an exam rather than sit quietly and study. These children are “high octane.”
Type O blood type students learn best from teachers who are active and enthusiastic. Teaching methods that involve competition are most effective for these children who are highly competitive by nature. They would, for example, enjoy spelling bees.
Homework assignments would be tackled with gusto for a time; but if the child does not take a break after an hour or so to engage in physical activity, he or she is likely to become bored and tired. Remember that a Type O blood type child requires physical activity.
Turn their rooms into a play which they can work and play; decorate it in vibrant colors. Bright oranges, yellows, and reds are suitable because these colors resonate with Type O’s energy and will support their ability to learn.
Dietary needs include large quantities of protein, usually at two meals per day. Protein is high-energy food, and high energy is what makes Type O children tick.
Your Type-A Blood Type Child – is the child of the mind, and their energy is that of the nervous system rather than the musculoskeletal system. Type A’s love to read and quietly work by themselves. They are good at games that rely on strategy rather than endurance, because their body’s energy tends to come through the nervous system.
They’re best suited to a serene environment, but if they aren’t provided with the type of surroundings that best suit them, they are likely to be hyperactive and can be mistaken for Type O’s. Because their nervous systems are so sensitive, excess stimulation around them creates a frenetic response in the delicate fabric of their bodies. Their nervous systems respond to every sound and movement. These may be the children who are always busy or who are chatterboxes or wigglers. Activity around them creates activity in their bodies. In order for them to use their minds effectively, surround them by calmness and peace.
Your child would flower with teachers who encourage individual work. A short walk or a period of yoga or stretching exercises before classes begin would be best for Type A’s. These children can concentrate for long periods of time if they are properly nurtured and would not thrive on a curriculum that emphasized a variety of subjects over short periods. They perform best if they are assigned projects that allow them to use their intellect and creativity. Moreover, competitive games do not appeal to them.
Color your Type A’s child’s room in blues and greens of the calming colors. Because they’re more mental than physical, their nutritional needs are unlikely to include large amounts of protein.
Lunches should be vegetarian, and dairy products should be eliminated as much as possible. Light foods allow the mind to be quick.
Your Type-B blood type Child are natural organizers. They are the kids who get a neighborhood basketball game going and love to talk and share with others. They enjoy group activities. They have orderly minds and prefer an uncluttered environment. They are uncomfortable in a classroom where desks are arranged haphazardly, preferring a definite pattern, whether it’s rows, circles, or semicircles.
Physically, they benefit from stretching exercises before morning classes and heavy physical exercise before afternoon classes. They are good at team sports. If they take up running, they’re most likely to do so with a friend. They like to discuss their homework with parents, an older sibling, or a friend.
In the classroom, they benefit from group study and do best with teachers who are leaders and possess excellent communication skills. These teachers would need to be orderly, presenting the child with a well thought-out curriculum. The minds of Type B children operate through relationships; thus, they would want a natural order of subjects throughout the day. History, for example, should follow geography rather than mathematics.
Because of their innate flexibility, Type B’s are comfortable with the full spectrum of color. Whether their room is yellow, orange, blue, or green, these children will be able to function well.
Provide a balanced lunch between high protein and lighter foods. Only one meal a day should contain protein.
Your Type-AB blood type Child usually have a delicate nervous system and are often intellectual by nature. They are usually very creative, and this may surface in the social activities they participate in, such as theater or gymnastics.
To determine whether the A or the B is dominant, parents should examine their children carefully. Should they suffer from mucous conditions, have a great deal of nervous energy, and experience difficulty concentrating, then they probably lean toward the A type.
Recommendations for Type A’s would probably be helpful here. On the other hand, if children enjoy spending time with friends, love organizing and mediating, and excel at strategizing in sports, then they probably lean toward the B type. Recommendations for Type B’s may be helpful here.
Their diet should lean toward lighter foods with few animal proteins and a minimum of dairy products.
