Blood type diet

The diet is based on the principles of naturopathic doctor James D'Adamo, who says that human blood type and nutrition are closely related. The blood type diet is based on the postulate that over the course of human evolution the composition of blood has changed and is strongly correlated with the type of food consumed by the majority of the population during a particular time period. .

Despite the presence of a certain logic in this claim, there is no evidence-based scientific basis for a blood type-specific diet. The table below gives some ideas about the correspondence of food products for people with different blood types to foods by blood type.

Diet for 1 blood type

The 1 blood group positive diet is based on the introduction of a diet consisting mainly of protein-containing products of animal origin. In the diet of people with this blood type, it is necessary to add low-fat varieties such as red meat (beef / lamb), offal (heart, liver, lung), turkey, sea / river fish (fish)herring, sturgeon, trout, halibut, perch, salmon, mackerel, cod, sardines, pike), excluding salted, smoked and pickled fish.

Other products containing animal protein (dairy products, eggs) are poorly digested, with the exception of raw cheese and can be consumed in very limited quantities. They should be replaced with soy milk/tofu curd, however soy products can be used as a supplement, but not as a base.

The blood type 1 diet includes foods that contribute to weight loss - artichokes, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, Jerusalem artichokes, beet leaves, leeks, radishes, spinach, broccoli, parsley, garlic, horseradish, pumpkin, plum, fig. Neutral vegetables include mushrooms, zucchini, daikon, ginger, fennel, tomatoes, fennel, quince, watermelon, pears, apricots, peaches, cherries, gooseberries, grapes.

Poor digestion and not recommended for weight loss: eggplant, avocado, white/red cabbage, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, black olives, potatoes, tangerines, oranges, strawberries, strawberries, cantaloupe. Among the drinks, linden/rosehip tea, prune juice and pineapple are especially useful, as they speed up the metabolism. Do not consume chocolate, ice cream, strong coffee, cola, black tea.

Dietary recommendations for people with this blood type are made regardless of whether they have a positive or negative Rh factor. The first Rh-positive diet is similar to the Rh-negative diet. Below is a systematized list of products that are recommended, neutral and prohibited for people with 1 blood type.

Diet according to the 2nd blood type

The 2 positive blood type diet is based on plant foods and a vegetarian approach. It doesn't make sense to include meat products in the diet for people with yin/yang blood types, as it is poorly absorbed and promotes fat accumulation. You can sometimes eat skinless chicken or turkey with a neutral color. The main sources of animal protein are seafood, fish and soy products (cheese tofu, milk).

Particularly useful are: salmon, carp, pike, perch, whitefish, cod, mackerel, sardines. Eat fish with vegetables. Dairy products, with the exception of kefir, are also undesirable in the diet. Chicken eggs in the amount of 1-2 pieces per week. Among the broken varieties are very useful: buckwheat, germinated wheat kernels, brown rice, bread made from germinated wheat kernels, but you can not abuse grain products - 2-3 times a week.

The menu for people of the second yang blood group should be mainly vegetables and fruits, both raw and cooked. Special should include broccoli, garlic, pumpkin, chicory, green beans, spinach, onions, carrots, apricots, plums, grapefruit, raspberries, strawberries, lemons, cherries, pineapples, raspberriessticky rice in the diet. According to reviews, the best effect is achieved when eating fruits that grow in your area. Nuts (peanuts), seeds, green tea are extremely useful.
