Live Right for Your Type Vol.1: Type B Health Risk Profile

Mind and Body

Type Bs naturally have a high basal cortisol levels and tendeny to overproduce cortisol in response to stress. They tend to clear nitric oxide (NO) rapidly. NO is reactive species which contribute to an oxidative stress.

They manifest by
- overreaction to stress
- difficulty recovering from stress
- disrupted sleep patterns
- daytime brain fog
- disruptive to gastrointestinal friendly bacteria
- suppress immune function

When NO is out of balance it will lead Type Bs to overly emotional reaction to stressful situations, lethargy, lack of motivation, chronic viral infections and excessively high or low blood pressure.

For all these characteristics and manifestations, Type Bs have an increased risk in depression, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism and high stress which could exacerbate virtually all health challenge.

Digestion and Metabolism

Type Bs have moderate to high level of enzyme intestinal alkaline phosphatase. This particular enzyme promotes easy breakdown of fats hence provide an added protection against CVD. A good thing about this, Type Bs have a low risk for diabetes and heart disease when metabolism is in a balance state.

Type Bs show a strong influence of lectins on metabolic balance. Lectins itself will slow down Type Bs metabolism and create insulin resistance. These conditions will lead to hypoglisemia, obesity and leaky gut.

Immunity

Increased risk in influenza, E. coli, gastroenteritis, UTI, staphilococus and sinus infection.
