Blood type eat habits supposedly good for health

It has become a routine thing to see some or the other new diet surfacing in the media and being propagated as the next best thing for your health. It sends all of us into a tizzy.  Consciousness about health and fitness is currently at an all time high and people are ready to go to any levels to ensure that they achieve wellness of the body and mind. People are joining gyms, meditation classes, going on diets and even doing things as drastic as shelling huge amounts for going under the knife in order to get the perfect health.Among the clutter of popular and world renowned diets such as the fruitarian diet, macrobiotic diet, Dukan diet and the Atkins diet, there is a fairly unknown diet called the blood type diet. This diet doesn’t promise you a great body shape but does promise the dieter a more strengthened immunity system. This diet dictates that if you eat right for your bloodtype, you will be fortified from within. The phrase, eat right for your bloodtype, has been coined by the author of Eat Right for Your Type: The Individualized Diet Solution to Staying Healthy, Living Longer & Achieving Your Ideal Weight, Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo.It basically divides all the people on the basis of the 4 major blood groups that consist of A, B, ABO and O. People are recommended to eat as per the requirements of their blood group so as to prevent the negative effects of lectins in the body. As per Dr. Peter DÁdamo, a chemical reaction occurs between your blood and the food you eat, which is part of your genetic inheritance. This reaction is caused by a factor called Lectins that are basically abundant and diverse proteins found in foods, have agglutinating properties that affect your blood. Blood type eat patterns are apparently quite good for curing and strengthening the body from within. Every food group of each blood group’s diet is divided into 3 parts, the first being the ‘Highly beneficial’ part which consists of foods that act like medicine for the body. Then there is the ‘Foods allowed’ part, which are foods that cause no harm followed by ‘Foods not allowed.’ These are foods that are as dangerous as poison. Blood type eat patterns mostly dictate foods that are low on lectins for the said blood group. For example, if you belong to AB, then you will be recommended to consume lots of tofu, different kinds of vegetables and varied varieties of fish. They would need to avoid foods such as corn, buckwheat, tomatoes, processed foods contain refined sugars, red meat, kidney and lima beans, seeds and wheat so as to ensure weight loss and stay lean and energetic.Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo is a scholarly naturopathic physician according to whom our blood type is a roadmap to our inner chemistry and each blood type processes food, handles stress, and fights disease differently. Thus he advocates the need for different kids of diets for varied blood groups.
