Blood Type Diet by D'Adamo

 

Some people do well on a Macrobiotic Diet which is

primarily cooked and based on whole grains. Blood type

A does well on grains. However, grains might be

contraindicated with allergies, intestinal gas and

bloat, inflammatory bowel disease or candida. The

blood type O is a protein based diet which includes

nuts, seeds, beans, fish and meat. Other beneficial

foods for blood type O compensate for the potential

constipating properties of meat with foods like

prunes, plums, figs, tomatoes, cherries, pineapples,

ginger, garlic and cayenne!

Foods Known to Relieve Constipation

 

Magnesium is the major element in chlorophyll.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in leaves, grasses

and algaes. All chlorophyll-containing plants such as

wheat and barley grass, marine and lake algaes, Essiac

and culinary greens help elimination, absorption,

cleansing, rebuilding and inflammation plus they

provide a rich environment for positive flora or

bacteria. You might want to see what kind of fresh and

steamed greens you, your friends and family are

willing to eat! Greens can also be taken juiced,

powdered and in capsules and tablets. I feel it is my

most important food for healing constipation.

 

Spinach is know to help heal constipation. It's high

in oxalic acid which helps trigger peristalsis.

According to Norman Walker, in his book Raw Vegetable

Juices, the combination of spinach and carrot juice is

specific for constipation. Walker said that one pint

of spinach juice daily for 2 weeks would cure the most

serious case of constipation. I never made it past 7

days! Red chard, celery and beet leaves with the

carrot are high in organic sodium and help calm the

nerves and stimulate peristalsis. Pineapple, grapes,

endive, and escarole are also specific for

constipation. Flax seeds powdered are a more effective

substitute for me than bran and flax oil is beneficial

for the integrity of the intestinal walls.

 

Word from Elaine Gottschall on Constipation

 

'I asked Elaine what to do about constipation. She

said the homemade chicken soup with lots of pureed

carrots would be good and that you could add pureed

zucchini to thicken it up. Homemade apple sauce is

also supposed to help. For fast action, she said try

1/2 cup prune nectar (Welch's) and 1/2 cup fresh

squeezed orange juice. She said to do this when you

know you're going be around the house for awhile,

apparently it can be rather explosive!'
