Eating Traditional Foods and the Blood Type Diet by Hybrid Rasta Mama. As many of you are aware, I embarked upon a journey in eating Real/Traditional Foods a little over a year ago. I have been full steam ahead on traditional eating (sans most gluten since Tiny is gluten intolerant). Here is something important to share.
When I started following a Traditional Diet, I slowly incorporated red meat into my repertoire of food. At first I felt guilty since I choose not to eat red meat for reasons related to animal welfare. However, as my health improved, my guilt lifted. I will spare you ALL of the gory details but I think that what I am about to share is VERY important for anyone currently following a Traditional Diet or thinking about incorporating all or some elements into your current nutritional lifestyle. I started to experience some major issues in the elimination department, i. I am well versed in the gut, digestive process, bowels, etc. This wonderful man will actually spend time treating the whole family so I mentioned my little issue. Peter D'Adamo, author of "Eat Right for Your Type.". He immediately began asking me about my food intake and after a lengthy discussion of my historical eating patterns and current eating trends, he raised an eyebrow and asked me my blood type. He nodded his head and informed me that not only do I have the second rarest blood type (and should be donating and privately storing my own blood in the event of a shortage) but that my blood type did not allow for me to properly process the proteins found in red meat. Protein digestion is difficult for A and AB blood types in general but red meat is a killer. He surmised that my entire intestinal track was severely compromised as it tried to break down proteins that it truly could not handle. Plus, after 1. 5 years of not eating red meat, my entire system was trying to adjust. Add to this the mass amounts of antibiotics I was on after having surgery in April and my gut was just damaged period. Eating what my body physically is best able to handle is a pretty big deal. People with Type A blood do best on a vegetarian diet, cutting out meat and most dairy. Because Type As are prone to heart disease, diabetes and. As many of you are aware, I embarked upon a journey in eating Real/Traditional Foods a little over a year ago. Your blood type may explain why you digest some types of foods better than others. Find out what you should be eating for your blood type if you have AB+ or. Please Note: There are several cookbooks based on the Blood Type Diet that are available in print.So I explored this further. Some of you have probably heard of the Eat Right for Your Type diet plan. I certainly had and had previously read a lot about it. There are many arguments in favor of it but just as many against it. Quite frankly, I understood the science behind it but at the same time sort of saw it as the next fad diet. So I never really paid much attention to the whole idea. The idea that my blood type was responsible for some of my gut issues is actually fascinating to me. I have dug into researching the links between your blood type and your food intake. There is a lot to this, more than just your blood type. Gender, ethnicity, age, and genetic abnormalities can all affect the “eat right for your type” concept. Your overall gut health also will greatly contribute. So I would advise anyone undertaking a blood type diet to really, really do your research. However, there is a lot of evidence that points to specific foods being better and easier for your body to handle if your blood type is taken into consideration when making food choices. Traditional Diets and Blood Type Diets are VERY compatible. You can still follow each and every tenant of a Traditional Diet. Since traditional foods are so varied, there will be lots for any blood type to choose from. And with the blood type diet there is no hard and firm recommendation as to how to prepare your foods. So you can still cook with coconut oil and butter, soak your grains, ferment compatible foods, and take fermented cod liver oil! I wrote the above post about six weeks ago and as usual, got sidetracked and have not yet published it. After further research and experimentation, I still believe that there is definitely something to blood types and food compatibility. However, after reading Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Natasha Campbell Mc. Bride, I have become much more aware of how much your gut health plays a role in your ability to process the foods you eat as well as absorb much needed nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Your gut health is also responsible for staving off basically every disease under the sun. A healthy gut means a healthy mind, body, and soul. And unhealthy gut leads to doom and gloom. Since writing the above post, I have also undergone some additional medical tests and big surprise, found out that I have celiac sprue (gluten intolerance) and possible ulcerative colitis. I have to have a colonoscopy in August (try not to be jealous) and this will give me a definitive answer on the colitis as well as anything else lurking. Why share this with you? And why get sidetracked from what was supposed to be a post about blood types and nutrition? First, in an effort to restore my gut to its best possible health, I am undertaking a huge dietary change known as the GAPS diet. The diet is based on research done by Natasha Campbell Mc. Bride and has been met with huge success. Well, that is what I am going to find out. This will be the true test. If and when I get my gut clean and pure, will I be able to digest and absorb fats and proteins better than I am now OR will my AB blood type continue to limit my ability to enjoy these foods? I can't wait to find out! Back to my original post. But I wanted anyone interested in a blood type diet to have all of the information they need in one place. So continue reading for some additional information on blood types as well as 4 charts outlining what foods are good, bad, and neutral for your blood type. But first, a little behind the science look at blood types and food compatibility. In 1. 99. 6, Dr. Peter D'Adamo published a book in which he outlined a diet based on different blood types. Although the “Eat Right for Your Type” diet gained popularity because of Dr. D'Adamo, he was not the first or the last doctor or nutritionist to discuss the idea of blood type and food intake. Therefore, I am not going to credit him with the discovery of the blood type diet. In addition, I am not looking at the blood type diet as a weight loss diet plan. I am looking at it as part of an overall health picture for the human body. Ok, enough of that. The theory with this nutritional approach is that each blood type has specific antigens that control bodily function, such as the immune and digestive systems. When foreign particles enter the body, the antigens either let them through or recognize them as threats and attack. The theory is that the blood's antigens react in a similar manner to foods, designating them as acceptable or threats. Therefore, knowing your blood type – either A, B, AB, or O – will help you distinguish which foods are best for your body. And if you want to get a little more scientific. Lectins are known for their ability to cause agglutination (binding) of some molecules, such as carbohydrates, for example. However, the nature of lectins, as well as their actual role, still remains undiscovered. In the theory of the blood type diet eating wrong foods leads to a situation, when lectins cause red blood cells to stick together. Of course, such bound cells are bigger in size than individual cells, and it gets more and more challenging for them to travel through the tiny capillaries in many organs of the human body. As the result, the blood capillaries begin to narrow and finally clog up, causing kind of micro infarctions in many vitally important tissues of the human body. That is why the blood type diet works to show people what types of food are allowed for specific blood type and what products should be avoided in order to prevent the process of red cells agglutination by lectins. Besides, the blood type diet says that there is also a connection between one's blood group and the level of stomach juices. For example, people with blood type 0 have the increased level of stomach acid, which may lead to ulcer development. In this situation eating meat may really help, because transforming the roasted beefsteak into fuel for human body requires much more stomach acid than it is needed to digest veggie salad, for example. Here is a look at each blood type in more detail. Type APeople with type A blood have a hard time digesting animal protein, and benefit more from a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and grains. The production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is low for people with type A, and therefore animal protein is not easily digested. Type A blood people are usually lactose intolerant, too. By eliminating meat and dairy from your diet, you will begin to lose weight and your body will respond positively. Type BAlthough blood type B people can handle almost all foods, some foods will cause weight gain. Foods to avoid include corn, buckwheat, sesame seeds, peanuts and lentils. Type Bs can't handle gluten in wheat products, so switching to a gluten- free diet is beneficial. Unlike the other blood types, type Bs can handle dairy products. Types Bs will also benefit from green vegetables, lamb, mutton, rabbit, liver, turkey, eggs, fish, licorice tea, soy, olive and flaxseed oil, oatmeal, millet, rice bran, spelt and puffed rice. Type OType O is the oldest blood type in human history. Those with type O digest meat better than any other blood type. Unlike type A, type O people produce a lot of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. However, Type Os have a hard time digesting dairy products and food containing gluten. The best diet for a type O is a greater ratio of proteins and less dairy and gluten. It would be best to exclude all dairy and include gluten- free foods in your diet. Type ABBlood type AB is the most “recent” type in terms of human evolution, and is the rarest of all blood types as well. Like type As, people with type AB don't produce a lot of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and therefore have a sensitive digestive system. However, animal protein is still important for type ABs. The AB blood type is thought to be more complicated than the other blood types. It combines some of the vulnerabilities of both the Type A and Type B blood types.

Donald Trump Suddenly Refuses to Talk About His False Wiretapping Claims. Donald Trump is still convinced that former president Barack Obama ordered wiretapping of Trump Tower last year, despite a congressional investigation and multiple intelligence agencies stating unequivocally there is no evidence of his claim. But that didn’t stop our Cheeto- in- Chief from reviving this old, tired fantasy during a television interview that aired this morning. This time around, however, Trump did not want to elaborate on what he believed. The President abruptly ended an interview with CBS reporter John Dickerson when pressed on his unsubstantiated claims that his Manhattan skyscraper was wiretapped ahead of the 2.

You know, words are less important to me than deeds, and you saw what happened with surveillance,” Trump said. Dickerson asked the president to clarify his comment. I think that’s a very big topic. And it’s a topic that should be number one, and we should find out what the hell is going on,” Trump answered. Dickerson pressed the president to explain his remarks again, and whether he stood by his unproven claims. Trump became visibly frustrated, and ended the interview. Thank you very much,”he said, before shooing Dickerson out of the room. To recap, the absurd and unsubstantiated claim of wiretapping all started about two months ago, when Trump fired off a series of early morning tweets: Trump did not present any evidence of the supposed wiretapping, and also notably misspelled the word “tap.” It was a sad day for democracy, and also for anyone who has ever wanted a president who can spell. About a week later, senior counselor Kellyanne Conway tried to broaden Trump’s claims during an interview with Meet The Press when she said, “You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets—any number of ways.” She later added that monitoring could be done with “microwaves that turn into cameras” and that “we know this is a fact of modern life.”That, of course, is bullshit, as were the initial claims themselves. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper outright denied them during his own interview with Meet The Press, one day after Trump’s false accusations. The Best Bodybuilding Diet for Muscle Building. You may be like a lot of other people out there. You want to get huge. You want arms like Arnold, delts like Cutler and a back like Coleman. You look up the routines they use and try to really push it when you get to the gym. After a while you are putting together some great workouts, you get a pump every time you are in the gym, and you drink your protein shakes after every workout but no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to get bigger. For most people, the reason they aren’t getting jacked is because their nutrition is not where it needs to be. The foods you eat are one of the most important things for your gains. You simply can’t get massive if you aren’t eating enough of the right foods often enough. Bodybuilding Diet for Gaining: The Basics. If you want to get big, you need to EAT, and when I say eat, I mean you need to eat a lot. Putting on size ultimately comes down to eating enough calories. Your body cannot make something out of nothing and if the fuel to create muscle is not there, your body cannot magically create muscle out of nothing. With so much advice on the what is the best mass building diet, it can get pretty confusing to know what you should be eating and what you should be avoiding. Is it better to do a dirty bulk or should you be bulking clean? The fact is that a cookie- cutter nutrition plan will only get you so far and if you want to take your gains past the beginner stage you will need to know what will work best for your body. Determining exactly how many calories your body needs will take some trial and error though and I’ll cover that a little more in Part 2 of this article. If you look at the diet plans of the top bodybuilders you will notice that they all have different diet plans with different foods, different meal timings and different macros but they adhere to the same basic principles. Let’s take a look at what some of the legends did with their diet. Olympia would primarily focus on eating whole, natural foods and avoiding foods that were too heavily processed. Some of the principles he recommended are: Eat 5- 6 smaller meals a day. Eat carbs half an hour after exercising. Eat 3. 0 to 5. 0 grams of protein with each meal every 3 hours. Not avoid saturated fats because they raise hormone levels. Eat no more than 3 eggs a day. Substitute beef and pork with chicken and fish. Avoid sugar — it contains empty calories; eat fruits and vegetables for carbs instead. Use supplements and protein shakes to get the required daily amount of protein. Eating many meals makes since so you can provide your body with a constant stream of calories and protein and getting carbs after your workout can help to raise insulin which helps your protein uptake. A mistake that a lot of beginners make is to try and avoid fat and cholesterol, but they are necessary for the production of testosterone so it is counter- productive to avoid them. It was said that in his early days his post workout meal included a whole chicken and a pitcher of beer. Liquid meals which included eggs and ice cream were also supposedly on his list. I am not sure of his reasoning behind eating no more than 3 eggs a day. Eggs are a great source of protein and have a high biological value, but who can argue with his success. Arnold ate a lot of good muscle building foods. To get some great recipes click here. Ronnie Coleman. Let’s compare this to the bodybuilding diet followed by 8- time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman. Coleman has changed a lot over the years and he’s published his daily menu for building muscle on a few occasions. One version includes cheese grits along with chicken breast, egg whites and beef. He has also shown his food intake during each of his workout videos. In one video he eats tons of hamburger with lots barbeque sauce on everything and drinks a Sprite/ grape juice mix, which are not really the most common foods when you think of eating clean. At the end of the day his calories are around 5. This is a ratio of about 4. Some of the guidelines he shoots for include 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (6. This is more than most bodybuilders and it have obviously worked well for him. He eats 6 meals a day and his primary sources of protein are chicken, steak and turkey. Jay Cutler. Another bodybuilder that has shared his nutrition plans on many occasions is 4- time Mr. His diet has changed over the years and he is constantly monitoring his progress. His calorie goal is about 4,7. Cutler also eats a lot of chicken and brown rice and says that about 5- 6 hours of his day are spent cooking and eating. That is an insane amount of time per day and is much harder to do consistently than any workout. Jay even wakes up at night to eat more because he says he sometimes loses up to 1. Most of his carbs come from simple carbs because he say his size decreases with complex carbs. Some of his older nutrition plans included a lot of oatmeal and sweet potatoes but his more recent plans seems to have replaced them with white and brown rice. He eats up to 2 pounds of chicken breast and beef per day and opts for 2 cups of egg white in the morning with Ezekiel toast. Dorian Yates. Six- Time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates would consume up to 6,0. Yates recommends 1- 1. His fat recommendation is at around a third of the protein consumption. Someone eating 3. When preparing for a contest he did not drop his carbs as much as a lot of people do because his energy levels suffered. While Coleman and Cutler did a few things that were outside the norm, the meal plan that Yates used seems a lot more traditional with some very sound principles utilized. Click Here for some Sample Menus. The Takeaway. The point of this first section is that there is no one program that works for everyone. These elite- level bodybuilders got their results from different diet routines, different protein levels (1- 2 grams per pound of bodyweight) and different meal timing , but they all had great results. The big key is they evaluated how their bodies reacted to the variances in their macros, meal timing and food choices. I’ll teach you how to start to creating your own plan in part 2.

In this 2- part series you’ll learn about what some of the top bodybuilders do for their nutrition and learn how to create your own diet for putting on size. Varieties of Mice.

Stripes on English brindles usually get wider with age. These Brindled mice do not have the same health issues as Brindle (description above). The health of the females is the same as any other mouse. They are, however, sex linked. This means that outside of a lab, only females survive. Males suffer from copper deficiency, anemia. They appear similar to himalayan mice, with points. However, these points are part of their skin (where as a himalayan has pointed fur, not skin). They also tend to have extremely curly (spiral) whiskers regardless of coat type. Note that the white spotting on the mouse pictured is piebald s/s and NOT a part of the brindled pattern. Raising Rabbits - The Basics. Raising Rabbits is Fun. Rabbits are fun to raise except when you have to go out and take care of them at 1. Considering this is the exception rather than the rule, we'll assume that, generally speaking, they are fun to raise. You may have different reasons for raising them - enjoyment, education, business, show, laboratory, meat, fur, and the bi- products they produce, such as fertilizer and fishing worms. Only a small minority of those who raise rabbits are capable of making a living out of it. Consider it, rather, an enjoyable hobby that can help pay for itself.

I found that when I was raising too many and didn't have enough markets, the rabbits were eating me out of house and home. And so I got rid of them - - for a while. I then took up the hobby again because I found it was in my blood to raise rabbits. The low membership fee includes a very good booklet on raising rabbits. It lists all of the recognized domestic breeds of rabbits along with their characteristics. Membership in ARBA includes a subscription to Domestic Rabbits magazine that supplies you with helpful articles on rabbit raising. Each year you will also get a booklet listing the more than 3. ARBA members and their addresses. You will easily find rabbit fanciers living close to you. A rabbit wins a grand championship when it has won first place in three rabbit shows. Having a grand champion is valuable. Not only does the rabbit's monetary value go up, but also its offspring are considered valuable. ARBA's web site also lists shows throughout the United States. Find a show near you and go to it. You'll learn a great deal there. Watching the judges, you will find what they consider good qualities in each particular breed. By exchanging information with other breeders, you can learn techniques that work. Shows are great places to shop for rabbits. You can find the breed(s) you would like to raise by seeing the rabbits up close and asking the owners what experiences they have had with them. Without knowing a rabbit's ancestry, neither it nor its offspring to the fourth generation may become grand champions. You risk getting a mixed rabbit (one that is not of a specific breed), a low quality specimen of a particular breed that someone knew was poor and sold it as a pet, or a rabbit that has serious genetic defects. The principle of only buying animals with a pedigree applies anywhere. When acquiring a dog, why get a mutt, even though it might be free, when you can buy a pedigree whose offspring you can sell for more than five times the price you paid? You may also later decide to raise rabbits on a larger scale. Having a pedigree certificate ensures that you are starting out right. When breeders give you a pedigree certificate, they are putting their reputation on the line. They are guaranteeing the background of the rabbit, specifying themselves as the owners, and authenticating it by their signature. Also, unless they're stupid, they're not going to knowingly sell you a defective rabbit. They wouldn't stay in business long. Those that cannot provide a pedigree certificate may not be an expert raising rabbits. They may knowingly or unknowingly sell you one that is sick or has a genetic defect. Usually they are not very helpful in getting you started right. Stick with recognized breeders of pedigree rabbits that will provide you with a certificate. It is best to buy from a reputable person. Try getting a recommendation from someone who shows rabbits. They usually know the good breeders. A registered rabbit is one which an ARBA licensed registrar has examined and certified as free from defects and disqualifications. The registrar has determined that the rabbit is healthy and a good representation of the breed. The registrar examines the rabbit's pedigree for completeness and accuracy. A copy of the rabbit's pedigree is forwarded to ARBA. Though inaccuracies can also be present with registered rabbits, the chances are better that you will get a better rabbit. As for myself, I'm not satisfied with just one breed. I want representatives from several. I have Netherland Dwarfs in shades of white, black, chinchilla, chestnut, chocolate, and sable. I have white New Zealands, Californians, Rex in shades of white, black, lilac, chestnut, and broken (spotted). I also have Champagne D'Argents, chocolate English Spots, and black Silver Martens. I am planning on buying some Satins in the colors red, copper, and Siamese. I also want to purchase some more Netherland Dwarfs in the colors Himalayan, smoke pearl, black tan, and broken. In some breeds, the individual fur characteristics are combined. The main fur types are. Angora - The fur grows very long and is shaved or plucked and woven into yarn to be used in making Angora sweaters, hats, and mittens. The long haired rabbits can become a real problem for the casual rabbit breeder. Their fur has a tendency to matt and shed. It's a real bear trying to clean the cages that have long hair everywhere. The hair also floats out and settles on anything in your rabbitry. It is used to make fine fur coats and hats. It is used also to make fine fur coats and hats. Rarely will you find a fur coat made with these because of the problem of matching the patterns and colors. They are sometimes found in small furred items. Certain color patterns are sought for by judges when showing these types of rabbits. They include. Britannia Petite (White, black, black otter, or chestnut agouti) 1- 1/2 - 2- 1/2 lbs. Dwarf Hotot (White with black around its eyes) 2 - 3 lbs. Jersey Wooley (Many colors - Angora wool) 2 - 3- 1/2 lbs. Netherland Dwarf (Many colors) 1- 3/4 - 2- 1/2 lbs. Polish (Black, blue, chocolate, blue eyed white, ruby eyed white, and broken) 2 - 3- 1/2 lbs. These rabbits, as a group, are less than 3- 1/2 pounds mature. These are the rabbits you will want to raise if you want small pets that don't consume much feed (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup per day) and take up the least amount of cage space (about 2- 1/2 sq ft). Many times, these are the only rabbits that pet stores will buy. You can expect to fetch about $7. The pet store will turn around and sell them for about $3. When you sell to other breeders and provide a pedigree, you can expect from $1. Price depends on the rabbit's show background, quality, and heritage, including the production characteristics of its parents. The Netherland Dwarf has the most ARBA- recognized colors and patterns of all the breeds. If you're into variety, you can't go wrong with Netherland Dwarfs. This combination occurs in 2. The one having this gene usually dies within 4 days after birth. Many of them resort to scratching or biting you when you put your hand into their cage. It could be that they are more afraid than the larger breeds, just as chihuahua dogs have a nervous fight- back tendency. They consider these problems as challenges. Dwarf rabbits are in great demand because of their popularity with young people. This, coupled with the lower litter rate, explain why they command a higher price than other rabbits. They vary from about 2- 1/2 to 5 pounds. These rabbits consume between 1/3 and 2/3 cup of feed per day and take up 3- 1/2 sq ft of cage space. The small breeds have characteristics between the dwarfs and the medium size breeds. They usually have 1 - 3 more babies in their litters than the dwarfs and do not carry the possibly lethal dwarf gene. However, they are still more susceptible to death from coccidiosis than the larger breeds. A few pet stores will carry these small breeds and you can expect perhaps $2. They may only take them during Easter. Check with your local stores. Sales to other breeders will command similar prices to the medium size rabbits, about $2. The small breeds consist of.

Mini Rex (Rex coat - Many colors) 3 - 4- 1/2 lbs. Medium Size Breeds. The next group of rabbits make up the medium size breeds. This group is characterized by weights ranging from 4- 1/2 to 7 pounds mature. These rabbits consume between 1/2 and 1 cup of feed per day and take up 5 sq ft of cage space. Usually, pet stores don't want these breeds except possibly around Easter. The medium breeds produce an acceptable amount of meat on small bones. Some commercial meat rabbit breeders raise these breeds. But they usually prefer the next group - the meat rabbits, because the feed- to- meat conversion ratio is apparently better. Usually, those that raise the medium size rabbits like to show them and eat the ones that don't make the grade. Some of these rabbits are raised for their fur as well. On the whole, it is harder to sell these rabbits except to other fanciers of like mind. You can expect about $2. They are characterized by weights between 8 and 1. These rabbits are raised for both meat and fur. Some of these may also be considered fancy rabbits because they have unusual fur, color, or ear characteristics. Most of these rabbits are shown a great deal. Rabbits in the meat group consume about 1- 1/4 cup of feed per day and take up 7- 1/2 sq ft of cage space. They will command a price comparable to the medium size rabbits, about $2. The rabbits that make up the meat group include. American (Blue or White) 9 - 1. Beveren (Black, Blue, or White) 8 - 1.
