Blood Group diet

There are some strange facts that we couldn’t able to figure out in the normal circumstances.Futher we are not even bothered to find time to explore the healthy diets required for our body. But the blood type diet hypothesis proposes that ABO type determines the individual's diet as each type evolved in response to available food sources.   

As every one aware of the fact O group is the universal donor and should be the oldest blood group. But that is not the truth. A group blood is the oldest his information has been available from microbiological research and analysis of DNA since 1990.The fact is all the 3 ABO type blood do existed several millions of years ago.

Blood Group DietThe blood group diet is said to have originated from two American Naturopaths, Dr James D'Adamo, and his son Dr Peter D'Adamo, who believe that your blood group type is the key to how you burn your calories, which foods you should eat and how you would benefit from certain types of exercise.

They recommend that eating to suit your blood group may, help you to lose weight, help you fight disease, boost your immune system and slow down the ageing process.

It is believed that a chemical reaction occurs between your blood and foods as they are digested. Lectins, a diverse and abundant protein found in food, may be incompatible with your blood group and adverse side effects may occur. The avoidance of these Lectins which can agglutinate (adhere or stick to one another) can be important if your particular cells-determined by your blood type,may react with them.

There are 4 blood types: A, AB, B, and O

Blood Type O

Here the diet was high in red meat and virtually void of grains and dairy. The type-O thrives on a meat-eating diet. Need good physical exercise to burn off the Carbo hydrates and protein.

Type-Os are prone to digestive disorders resulting from over-secretion of stomach acid. They can also be more susceptible to arthritis and thyroid disease due to overactive or hyper -immune system.

Wheat and dairy also promote inflammation in this blood type which can trigger an imbalance in the immune system and hence should avoid such diets.

Blood type O individuals can gain a significant amount of weight following a high carbohydrate diet, as their bodies cannot properly metabolize these foods.

Blood Type A

People with blood type-A do best on a vegetarian diet for weight loss especially the macrobiotic diet. Should concentrate in eating more vegetable and fruits.

The type-A individual hardly produces much hydrochloric acid and therefore does poorly on meat and dairy diets such as the Atkins Diet.

Type-As are generally more prone to cancer, diabetes and heart disease, if they do not take charge of their health.

Blood Type B

As a result, the type-B individual does best on a dairy diet with some meat (no chicken) and few grains.

The type-Bs suffer from the highest incidence of bladder and urinary tract infections. They are also prone to viral diseases when their immune system is compromised.

Since B blood types can metabolize dairy products and most foods, they will usually lose weight effortlessly as long as peanuts, corn, wheat, and lentils are eliminated from the diet.

Blood Type AB

The type-AB individual benefits from both the A and B type diets.

Avoid meat as it wont digest as easily as seafood, dairy, wheat-free grains and soy foods.

The type-ABs are prone to either diseases encountered by the Type-As or the type-Bs. By undergoing further metabolic typing, it can be determined which diseases they are most likely to be vulnerable.

For weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight, AB's do best on seafood, dairy, nuts and grains.
