Eating by blood type

Weight loss will be more effective if you take into account the individual parameters of the body. This approach takes into account the peculiarities of digestion, lifestyle and predisposition to disease. With the help of such tactics it is possible to choose appropriate foods. The blood type diet is based on this method.

Blood type diet: benefits and features

The method of eating by blood type was developed by the American naturopath Peter D'Adamo. The doctor observed the patients and noticed that this or that food has a positive or negative effect on the condition of the body of people with different blood groups.

Peter D'Adamo proposed a classification of blood type for his diet.

• The first 0 (I) is the people who make up one third of the world's population. The first blood type is considered the most ancient. People with this blood type prefer a meat diet.
• The second A (II) - begins to appear during the transition of man from hunting to agriculture. Considered a vegetarian.
• The third B (III) - occurs when people settle on all continents. People with this blood type eat almost everything.
• Fourth AB (IV) - about 3% of the world's population. Representatives of this group are also omnivorous, but have fewer dietary restrictions.

D'Adamo's blood type diet is based on the following principles:

• The diet corresponds to the type of people according to blood type. You can only eat permitted foods that are genetically compatible with the human body. Undesirable products will cause the appearance of overweight and the development of pathologies.
• Physical activity. Certain physical activities and sports are considered appropriate for different blood types.
• The use of nutritional supplements. Proper nutrition, according to D'Adamo, limits the intake of a number of nutrients and vitamins. This affects the general condition of the body and in particular the composition of the blood (decrease or increase in hemoglobin). Therefore, it is worth consuming additional supplements to avoid a deficiency of essential substances.

Characteristics of the diet of people with 1st blood group

The high-protein diet is suitable for people of the first blood group. It is dominated by animal proteins. Preference is given to red lean meat (lamb, beef), seafood and oily fish, liver and other offal. From vegetables it is better to eat leafy species and choose olive oil. Sprouted grains, walnuts, prunes and figs are excellent sources of micronutrients.

In a blood type diet, people with type 1 should exclude the consumption of gluten (oats, wheat, rye), fatty fermented dairy products, legumes and cabbage. The presence of such food in the diet has a negative effect on metabolism and weight loss. Of the drinks it is worth giving preference to mint tea and rosehip broth.

Suitable diets for those with 2nd positive and negative

Since this blood type was inherent in farmers in ancient times, today most of its representatives are characterized by adherence to vegetarianism. The diet of such people should include cereals, grains, vegetable oils, vegetables and fruits, fish and seafood. Weight-loss "farmers" must refuse red meat. It is also worth limiting the consumption of dairy products, which cause inhibition of protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It is better to refrain from wheat flour, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, oranges, melons and mangoes.

Diet options for people with 3rd blood type

People of the third blood group are descendants of nomadic tribes. Such people eat practically everything. The diet of the "nomads" is the most balanced. They will benefit from fish and meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruits. Exclude from consumption pork, seafood, peanuts, lentils and alcohol. Among those who have lost weight, there are few who represent the third blood group. These people rarely complain of being overweight, so they rarely have to follow a weight loss diet.

Diets for people from the 4th group

The fourth blood group is relatively young - it appeared no more than a thousand years ago. The diet for her is based on the diets of the second and third groups, ie mixed. Suitable for such people to eat fish, caviar, soy, dairy products, rice, fruits and vegetables with green color. It is worth limiting the consumption of red meat, mushrooms, nuts, buckwheat, wheat and corn grains, beans, bananas, oranges, coconuts and mangoes.

Tips from a nutritionist. It is necessary to emphasize several "pluses" for such a power scheme:

• the focus is on homemade food. Avoid processed foods and refined carbohydrates
• the diet is easy to use - no need to count calories;
• a person loses weight due to a banal diet;
• the diet provides physical activity.

Disadvantages of the diet by blood type:

• diet has no clear medical evidence to support the proposed health benefits (in fact, this is just an axiom);
• the food is reduced to a certain monotony;
• nutritional deficiencies may occur (supplement recommended);
• too much attention is paid only to the type of blood and individual differences are not taken into account;
• Difficulty in feeding the family if there are different blood types.

Dietary recommendations for people with blood composition problems

Impaired blood composition affects a person's health and quality of life. These deviations must be eliminated, knowing the reason for their occurrence. If they are caused by a lack of nutrients or an excess of harmful substances, then you should adhere to a special diet before consulting your doctor.

The most common blood disease is low or high hemoglobin levels. Oxygen saturation of the body suffers from a decrease in hemoglobin or increased hemoglobin. Every body needs potassium and iron to properly transport oxygen to the cells. To increase hemoglobin will help the consumption of iron-containing products and drugs that increase its level. Diet to increase hemoglobin in the blood should include 150 g of protein, 100 g of fat, 350 g of carbohydrates, 50 mg of iron, 20 mg of zinc, 5 mg of copper, B vitamins. To increase hemoglobin, you should eat the following foods:

• beef, rabbit, chicken, turkey;
• beef and chicken liver;
• buckwheat;
• chocolate, cocoa;
• eggs;
• dried apricots, prunes;
• pomegranate, apples.

Elevated hemoglobin levels can cause heart attacks or strokes as the blood becomes viscous and thick, leading to the formation of blood clots and plaque. A diet high in hemoglobin should beat the exact opposite of the previous one. To reduce its level, you should exclude from the diet red meat and offal, cereals, berries and red fruits. A diet that lowers hemoglobin also eliminates the intake of lipids, which lead to high blood cholesterol levels. Triglyceride-saturated blood affects the development of heart disease. Taking lowering drugs and multivitamin complexes will also help normalize the level of iron-containing protein.

People with thrombocytosis or thrombocytopenia also need dietary adjustments. With high platelets, you should drink as much fluid as possible. The daily menu should include fresh cucumbers, seaweed, nuts, fish. Under the influence of organic acids, platelets are destroyed. To reduce their level will contribute cranberry tea or fruit drink, grape, apple juice.

A diet rich in protein, carbohydrates and iron will alleviate low platelet counts. It is worth eating sliced, diet food. You should eat buckwheat, bananas, spinach, vegetables, cabbage, apples, pomegranate, red meat.

In case of increased amylase in the blood, you should immediately consult a doctor, as this may indicate a malfunction of the pancreas, which adversely affects the digestive process and the condition of the body as a whole.

It is possible to regulate body weight based on individual body characteristics, namely according to blood type. Each of the four blood groups has specific dietary preferences. Using them, you can easily get rid of extra pounds with a special diet.
