Meats One thing to be kept in mind is that you cannot quite eat excessive meat, as your ancestors didnt quite eat that amount either. Best, according to Dr. DAdamo, is to stick to 175 g/6 oz for one meal. The high acid content in O blood types makes it possible for them to digest meat rather easily. The more exercise you take, the more protein is required. Balance out the amount of protein you take with fresh fruits and vegetables to avoid over acidification in your body that can lead to a lot of irritation of the lining of your stomach and can result into gruesome ulcers. Highly Beneficial Beef Buffalo Heart Kidney Lamb Liver Mutton Oxtail Sweetbreads Tripe Veal Venison Neutral Chicken Duck Partridge Pheasant Poussin Quail Rabbit Turkey Avoid Bacon Goose Ham Pork Seafood As O blood type is vulnerable to thin blood, which resists clotting, the vitamin K found in seafood is highly beneficial as it promotes clotting of blood. Seafood is an excellent choice and source of iodine, which regulates thyroid function. Let us look at what seafood should be included in the diet for O negative blood type and what shouldnt make its way on your table. Seafood should be consumed more often than other meats for the O negative blood type.
