Handling Stress

In this busy, ever changing world, it's almost impossible to avoid every day stress. Type As have a naturally high level of the stress hormone cortisol and produce more in response to stressful situations. Cortisol is released in 24-hour patterns, typically in the early morning between six and eight A.M. with a gradual decrease during the day. It helps to cue the body's other cyclical rhythms. Due to the naturally elevated cortisol in type As, additional stress often manifests in several ways; disrupted sleep patterns, daytime brain fog, increased blood viscosity (thickening), and promotes muscle loss and fat gain. In extreme cases in Type As, stress can manifest in more serious ways, causing obsessive-compulsive disorder, insulin resistance and hypothyroidism. To help balance cortisol levels, Dr. D'Adamo recommends that you limit sugar, caffeine and alcohol. Don't skip meals, especially breakfast; eating smaller, more frequent meals will also help to stabilize blood sugar levels. He also points out that the following factors are known to increase cortisol levels and increase mental exhaustion for Type As - be aware and limit your exposure when possible:
Crowds of people
Loud noise
Negative emotions
Smoking
Strong smells or perfumes
Too much sugar and starch
Overwork
Violent TV and movies
Lack of sleep
Extreme weather conditions (hot or cold)
i read it at http://www.dadamo.com/bloodtype_A.htm

I have looked into that before, in Japan this kind of stuff is pretty big. But there is no medical evidence supporting it.

it does seem to be all over the place. the book i read was 10+ yrs ago, but it listed all the food i couldn't eat(upset my stomach) bannanas, brocily(SP) and others. but contradicting is the fact that the book i read said beer was good for me and red wine was great for me(the online sites say stay away from all alcohol). now everything i read wants to lump A- and A+ together?

Pseudoscience.

Sounds like zodiac signs applied to dieting to me.
