After
having my daughter, thirteen years ago, I haemorrhaged and had to have a blood
transfusion. It was during this time I
discovered I was in the A+ blood group.
Over the years that followed, I began to understand how much my blood
type impacted on my life.
According
to the research of Dr. Peter J.D’Adamo, for his book Eat Right For Your Type, the ability to reverse stress and its
negative effects lies in our blood type.
For me, this means that I react to the first ‘alarm’ stage of
stress. My adrenals become super-charged,
producing anxiety, irritability and hyperactivity. My immune
system gets weaker, and my nervous system becomes more sensitive. I then become unable to fight
infections. As a Type A I have a more
tightly wired system – in blunt, I bottle up all my anxiety!
