The Explorer is muscular and adventurous with an impressive ability to adapt to environmental changes. They're more often left-handed, Rh-negative, and asymmetrical: Their left and right sides don't match, right down to their fingerprints. Their motto is "I did it my way." In every population, folks who do things very differently are needed, so that if the majority turns out to be wrong, someone is there to offer an alternative. Explorers look for different methods, but sometimes they can seem naturally contrary. Their upside is that they're good at adapting to wildly changing conditions. The Explorer's vulnerability to hormonal imbalances and chemical sensitivities can be overcome with a balanced diet and lifestyle. Explorer Superfoods: Quail, ostrich, whitefish, string bean, lentils, peas, rice, escarole, Swiss chard.
