Blood type nutrition

Weight loss will be more effective if we take into account the individual parameters of the body. This approach takes into account the specifics of digestion, a person’s lifestyle and their predisposition to disease. Such tactics make it possible to select the right food products. The blood type diet is based on this method.

Diet by blood type: benefits and characteristics

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

Peter D'Adamo suggested a blood type rating for his diet.

• The first 0 (I) are people who make up one-third of the world’s population. The first blood type is considered the oldest. People of this blood type prefer meat dishes.
• The second A (II) - began to appear during the transition of man from hunting to agriculture. It is considered vegetarian.
• The third B (III) - arose when people settled on every continent. People with this blood type eat almost anything.
• Fourth AB (IV) - about 3% of the world’s population. Representatives of this group are also omnivores, only they have fewer food restrictions.

The D'Adamo blood group diet is based on the following principles:

• The diet according to the blood type corresponds to the type of people. You can only eat approved foods that are genetically compatible with the human body. Unwanted products cause the appearance of obesity and the development of pathologies.
• Physical activity. Certain physical activities and sports are suitable for different members of blood groups.
• Use of food additives. Proper nutrition, according to D’Adamo, limits the intake of many nutrients and vitamins. This affects the general condition of the body and especially the composition of the blood (decrease or increase in hemoglobin). Therefore, it is also worth consuming food additives to avoid a lack of essential ingredients.

Dietary characteristics of blood group 1 people

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

During the blood group diet, those in the first type should exclude the consumption of gluten (oats, wheat, rye), fatty fermented dairy products, legumes and cabbage. The presence of such foods in the diet has a negative effect on metabolism and weight loss. Among the drinks, mint tea and rosehip soup should be preferred.

Nutrition consultant. Some "advantages" of such a power supply system should be highlighted:

• 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;
• diet provides physical activity.

Disadvantages of a blood type diet:

• diet has no clear medical evidence to support the proposed health benefits (in fact, this is just an axiom);
• the food becomes a certain monotony;
• nutritional deficiencies may occur (replacement is recommended);
• they pay too much attention only to the type of blood and do not take into account individual differences;
• Nutritional difficulty for the family when there are different blood types.

Nutritional recommendations for people with blood composition problems

Violation of the composition of the blood affects a person's health and quality of life. These discrepancies must be eliminated in the light of the cause of their appearance. If it is caused by a lack of nutrients or excess harmful substances, a special diet should be followed before consulting your doctor.

The most common blood disorder is low or high hemoglobin. The body's oxygen saturation suffers from a decrease or increased norm in hemoglobin. Every body needs potassium and iron to deliver adequate oxygen to its cells. Consumption of iron-containing products and drugs that increase their levels helps to increase hemoglobin. A diet to increase the level of hemoglobin in the blood should contain 150 g of protein, 100 g of fat, 350 g of carbohydrates, 50 mg of iron, 20 mg of zinc, 5 mg of copper and B vitamins. To increase hemoglobin, the following foods should be eaten:

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

Elevated hemoglobin levels can cause a heart attack or stroke because the blood becomes viscous and thick, causing blood clots and plaque to form. A diet with an increased hemoglobin content must overcome the exact opposite. To reduce your levels, you should exclude red meat and offal, cereals, berries and red fruits from your diet. A diet that lowers hemoglobin also eliminates the intake of lipids, leading to an increase in blood cholesterol levels. Blood saturated with triglycerides affects the development of heart disease. Intake of reducing drugs and multivitamin complexes also helps to normalize iron-containing protein levels.

People with thrombocytosis or thrombocytopenia also need dietary adjustment. If you have a high platelet count, drink as much fluid as possible. The daily menu should include fresh cucumbers, seaweed, nuts and fish. Organic acids kill platelets. Cranberry tea or fruit drink, grapes, apple juice helps to reduce their levels.

A diet rich in protein, carbohydrates and iron alleviates the decrease in platelet levels. It is worth eating chopped, dietary foods. Buckwheat, bananas, spinach, greens, cabbage, apples, pomegranates, red meat should be eaten.

If there is an increase in amylase in the blood, see a doctor immediately, as this may indicate a malfunction of the pancreas, which adversely affects the digestive process and the condition of the body as a whole.

Weight regulation is possible based on the individual characteristics of the body, namely blood type. All four blood groups have specific dietary preferences. Using them, you can easily get rid of extra pounds with a special diet.
