Blood Type Diet – Never stop learning – 4 Blood Types, 4 Diets

I have good news and bad news. First the good news.

As your energy returns so do all those hours in the day that were given away to the couch, the brain fog and the “victim” syndrome. And, as you do what you need to do to get your groove back it will become easier to do more for yourself and to help others.

This week I spent hours researching Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s Blood Type Diet. I learned about 4 Blood Types, 4 Diets and the Eat Right Diet to help my husband clean out and heal from a 20 year migraine problem. Today while shopping at yet another health food store I reflected back to my first such shopping spree …

It was 2 years ago. I was the patient. It was overwhelming. Partly because I was so tired. Partly because it was so foreign. Spelt? Millet? dairy free this, gluten that. That first time I shopped till I dropped, literally. I cried on the drive home. The journey seemed endless and tasteless and bleak and …

I have come along way. Didn’t cry today. I felt great researching this and that for my love,
Mr. Type “O” Blood.

If you are now where I was then, don’t despair. The good news is that if you keep doing what you need to do for yourself there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. Take it one day at a time and before you know it …

The bad news. Oh it isn’t really that bad. It is best summed up in one of my favorite quotes.

Change is not without discomfort, even from worse to better.”

It isn’t comfortable having to learn a new diet whether it is the Blood Type Diet or the Low Glycemic Diet or the detox diet or … It isn’t fun putting up with crap from people who are uncomfortable when you change. (Beware of family and friends who will tempt you back to the trough or bar stool to maintain their comfort level.)

My best advice is to hang out with friends and family who want to head in your direction — health. They can follow or they can lead. It is fun taking turns!

Re-Energize Your Root Chakra .

Red panties in your future?

Reading The Book of Chakras and I am fascinated starting with the root chakra and its color red.
In brief … the Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with the adrenals and the adrenal glands are associated with … energy!

The Root Chakra grounds us. According to author Ambika Wauter, its intelligence “helps us to administer our life force. It is concerned with the qualities of order, security, structure and stability that we need to make a viable existence.

The Root Chakra has associated archetypes … The Mother and The Victim.

The balanced root chakra is “The Mother” is as you would imagine – strong, loving, positive, nurturing, self-sufficient, connected to the community, positive, trusting of herself and the process of life. The out of balance root chakra is “The Victim” ruled by outward circumstances, tired out by the weight of the world, hopeless, angry, defensive, impatient, negative, resentful, isolated and fatigued.

I talked about this with a girlfriend in-the-know and she recommended a simple boost “wear red panties.” I’m buying them tomorrow! Maybe you want to nab a pair for yourself and we can compare notes a week or so from now?

What else can you do to strengthen your root chakra? Practice patience, cultivate serenity and a live and let live attitude. Develop meditation skills, keep a gratitude journal, learn how to pray (there are many ways) and get physical in ways that demand your attention — yoga, a breathing practice, Salsa Dancing, wind surfing …. make it fun.

My Vitamin and Suppliment Routine

For years I would not take any vitamins or supplements. I was “on strike.” Why? Because I felt overwhelmed by what to take – what brand – which vitamin, which supplement, what dosage? Capsule, tablet? It seemed too complicated and expensive.

Then came the fatigue AND insomnia AND …

Long story short I learned first hand how important it is eat, drink and be merry. And I found out what supplements to take at a price that is very, very right. Click here to visit the Fatigue Be Gone Supplements Page and update your regimen.

5. Love someone.

Nothing energizes like Love. Nothing feels better than leaving our own worries and pains behind and putting everything we have, everything we are and every breath we take into loving someone.

Years ago a mentor told me to “focus outward – outside myself” whenever I was feeling badly.

Call a friend and cheer them up – do something, anything to get the focus off of yourself” she would say. Excellent advice and it really works.

Try it, you’ll like it. So, who will you call first? Can I help you decide?

Whoever came to mind first when you were reading this. That’s who.
