Now that it´s proven that rh negative people suffer from general disadvantages concerning overall health, here is some advice on how you may live around that by taking care of yourself and protecting yourself from the external impact life may have on you.

10 Health Tips for Rh Negative People
1) Avoid too many carbohydrates<
Our ancestors consumed around 1/3rd carbs, 1/3rd fats and 1/3rd carbs, yet it is recommended we consume as low as 10 percent protein and up to 65 percent carbs. Whatever the recommendations are, we all know that a lot of times advice officially given is being revoked a few years later, so my advice: Listen to your instinct.
Don´t eat out of boredom and don´t let your tastebuds be fooled by artificial flavors.
Eat what you crave.
2) Know that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol might affect you more
Our research has indicated that alcohol and smoking cigarettes affect rh negative people more than rh positives. So once again, the key to staying healthy is to never assume that whatever doesn´t impact other people visibly may not be as bad for you either.
If you are a smoker and crave some nicotine, try to listen to your body as it will lead towards quitting. Once you smoke out of boredom or think you need to have a substance to help you through a stressful time, you are doomed to make it a lifestyle.
Drinking in moderation is fine. But when it comes to being a solution to deal with issues or allowing a social situation to intoxicate yourself when in reality you don´t even crave it, you are going against the inner voice and silencing your intuition and your health will pay the price.
3) Avoid stress at any cost
As a general rule of being overly sensitive by society´s standards:
Whatever affects people in general, affects you even more.
So the key is not to “get tougher”, but be conscious in terms of avoiding whatever it is that is negative.
4) Find time away from other people
Can´t be yourself with others? Then be BY YOURSELF!
5) Develop a sleep pattern that is right for you
As people with blood type A are likely to have increased levels of stress, insomnia may be a result of that.
Again: The key to having a healthy sleep pattern just like having a healthy pattern in general is to listen to your body.
Are you tired when you have to work or take care of things while not being able to sleep when it is time to sleep and there is nothing to do?
There are two approaches which may work:
a) Be forceful and demand that you are able to do what you need when you need it and have a life where you are able to take naps when your nature demands it.
b) Do you best to develop a pattern that helps deal with the life you live.
If you are not able to sleep at night, lay down anyways. Your body will get rest, so it´s not a waste. Then the next day around sleep time, you are likely going to fall asleep easier and before you know it, a good pattern arises.
6) Spend time in nature
7) Rediscover your passions
One of the issues most adults experience is that they lack motivation and it shows in lifestyles. A lot of people have completely lost the drive that they once had and the reason is all too often adapting to a life that seems to help them get by while missing out on doing the things that have once excited them.
If you are one of those people, remember who you once were and what made you happy … then find a way to do that again. And most of all: Get rid of people who try to keep you from doing it.
Because you are you. And nobody else can be you for you. And if someone comes into your life without being accept you in everything that makes you you, then why would you waste your time trying to adapt your own life to make you suitable for them, if they are not willing to do the same for you?
8) Physical activities
You don´t have to be a weightlifter or long-distance runner in order to be healthy. But looking at your passions and nature´s benefits, you may want to think what it is that can make you feel better in terms of giving your body the exercise it´s designed to participate in.
9) Do not view prescription drugs as candy
Do you need medicine? Then take it.
Do you want to feel better?
It is advisable not to look at prescription drugs as something recreational to the point where anytime you don´t feel perfect, you take something to give you a physical or mental boost.
Just as we are generally sensitive to everything else, side-effects of anything are included in that.
10) Be comfortable in your own clothing
Do you dress to impress?
What materials are your clothes made of?
Just like you may react badly to foods with chemicals, your body breathes the chemicals of synthetic clothing.
Choose what you feel well in!
Cancer, allergies and autoimmune diseases are among ailments rh negatives rank badly for. And overall health can prevent a lot from getting worse.
Autoimmune connective tissue diseases are chronic, potentially life threatening complex multisystem disorders. Their etiology is unknown but genetic, hormonal and environmental factors are important. The clinical disease is preceded by a long period of time (sometimes many years) when the patients can be identified by characteristic antibodies in their serum. When such a patient is identified he is usually followed and treated if clinical disease manifests itself. However, other factors besides the existence of autoantibodies have a predictive value for those disorders; some of them hereditary or genetic, and can be used only to predict likelihood of future disease, and others, connected to lifestyle and environment, could be modified in order to try and prevent it. Several non-randomized small scale studies have suggested that autoimmune disease could be prevented if treated aggressively prior to manifestations of symptoms. However, if such is the case, criteria would have to be formalized for selection of patients for this preventive treatment. Only patients whose probability to develop clinical disease is higher then a certain threshold should be treated while asymptomatic. The aim of this article is to review the major risk factors for autoimmune disease, both hereditary and environmental, and so to help define those future criteria. Individuals who are at risk to develop an autoimmune disease should be advised to refrain from activities and lifestyle which endangers their health and quality of life.

Work with nature if you will. Prevention is possible. And just because we are more sensitive, doesn’t mean that this is a bad thing. It simply can mean our body warning us to ensure health. So if you listen to it, then you are likely going to be in much better shape.
