You need to emphasize high protein foods, especially deep ocean fish and sea vegetables such as kelp; organically raised poultry (chicken and turkey); lean, organically raised red meat, especially liver and wild game (deer, elk, etc.). In addition you need to consume large amounts of fresh, organically raised vegetables, especially broccoli, kale, and spinach and their juices as well as lesser amounts of fresh, organically raised fruits and their juices.

You should avoid most grains and things made with them, especially wheat and corn. You should also eliminate kidney and navy beans, lentils, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, and mustard greens.

You need to emphasize intense aerobic exercises and activities.

The more faithfully you try to regularly use your best foods and the more you avoid your no foods the more rapidly you will see improvements in your health.

The best time to take your RHR is first thing in the morning before getting out of bed (before you sit up or stand up). To calculate your beats per minute, take your pulse for 6 seconds and put a zero at the end of the number of beats that you counted. To be more accurate, you could count the beats for 10 seconds and multiply by 6 or count the beats for 15 seconds and multiply by 4. Keep a record of your first morning RHR for one week. Add the numbers together and divide by 7. Use this number for your AVERAGE RHR. If your first morning RHR is ever 10 beats or more per minute above or below your average RHR, do not do anything strenuous that day or until your first morning RHR is again within 10 beats of your average RHR.

1. Choose one or more of the exercises listed on the Optimum Training Rate page for OTR activity(s) for blood type B. Warm Up page for warm up suggestions) to bring your heart rate up to your OTR - 30 BPM (In the above example, that would be 125 - 30 = 95.)
2. Practice proper breathing techniques (See the Proper Breathing section below.)
3. For the next 5 - 10 minutes, begin your OTR activity very slowly while breathing very deeply through your nose. Keep your heart rate at 30 BPM below your OTR.
4. For the next 10 - 20 minutes, continue your OTR activity, but keep your heart rate at or below your OTR while continuing to breathe through your nose only.
5. Cool down slowly, using the same or one of the other Warm Up activities the for at least 5 - 10 minutes, to return your heart rate to its warm up level (e.g. 100), before stopping.

Exercise for at least 30 minutes, at least 3 times every week. Try to find more than one
OTR Activity that you really like so you can vary your workouts to minimize boredom. Exercise is cumulative. Five to ten minutes of walking after each meal is 15 to 30 minutes of exercise for that day.

Proper Breathing

To relearn proper nose breathing, try the following:

1. Inhale normally through your nose.
2. As you breathe out through your nose, slightly tighten your throat as if you are lightly snoring.
3. Notice that you must contract your abdominal muscles to make the “snoring” sound during your exhale. The tighter you contract your stomach muscles with each exhale, the more resonant the snoring sound. As long as you can make that sound, proper breathing will occur.
4. Once you can make this sound with a shallow breath, increase the depth of each breath while making a quality, resonant snoring sound with each exhale. You can also do this on each inhale.
5. Practice every chance you get while lying down, sitting, or walking. When it becomes very easy, use this type of breathing, especially during each exhale, during your regular exercise time.
