For sure, it’s essential to listen to you own body. This blog is all about making choices joyfully.

Too many people listen to various models and beliefs from so-called experts. If you buy into believing that certain blood types need animal protein, so be it. It is not my place to try to persuade you otherwise.

I think it’s helpful for those who defend eating animal protein to know that what the body really needs are amino acids, the building block of protein. A variety of dark green leafy vegetables will supply all you need in great plenty, if you choose those.

Always, it is your choice,
Joyfully,

Good post! I like bee pollen. You can sprinkle it in shakes or on salads or take it as you describe with water like little pills (all of which I’ve done). I eat all of the foods you suggested, however I have a HUGE protein requirement so it is difficult to satisfy it with the small amounts of proteins in these foods versus protein drinks or animal proteins.

Also it is true that certain blood and metabolic types require animal protein for optimal health. The blood type O which makes up the largest blood type group does not do well on lots of carbohydrates and must limit fruits (sugars). Most type O’s cannot eat grains, they are gluten intolerant or sensitive. When O’s go on vegetarian or vegan diets they may do well initially, even for a few years, but then their health deteriorates and they often develop serious health conditions and they can’t figure out why. Close to 100% of the time, eating animal proteins again restores their health fully. Seriously, it appears that a lack of animal protein can kill type O’s if not corrected. It is the form of protein that their body is able to fully digest and assimilate. Animal protein is actually healing to type O bodies.

Each blood type represents an evolutionary change or adjustment to new food sources. I strongly suggest that one diet or style of eating fits all does not fit all and that each person get to know their own body and it’s signals and messages intimately. Your own body will inform you of your best food choices. Reading books and following a way of eating because it is “in” or popular may be detrimental to your longterm health, your best advisor is always the body that you inhabit.

In Joy!

So glad you are enjoying the Blog. I love writing it, as well.

Yes, I have that “Ugh” reaction also to bee pollen. What to eat it with? Try a spoon and a glass of water!

I take it as a might take a bunch of tiny little pills. By the spoonful, I put the pollen in my mouth and then wash it down with water. Occasionally a little will get stuck in my mouth, so I take another sip of water.

This way I benefit from the nutrients without flinching against the taste. I hope that works for you also. Or perhaps other readers have other suggestions.

Joyfully,
Joy

I’ve tried bee pollen. Ugh is the first thought that comes to my mind just thinking about it.

Do you have any suggestions of what to eat it with to make the more appealing?

Loving your web site. I’ve read most of your articles several times.

Thanks,
Belinda
