Blood type O diet food list
Diet according to blood group is very popular diet created by Dr. Peter D’Adamo. He rejects the idea that the same diet can be successfully applied in all and encourages people to eat certain foods and avoid others, depending on their blood type – A, B, AB, or O.
D’Adamo is the author of the bestseller “Eat Right For Your Blood Type” which claims that blood type affects the digestive system and food that is good for some people is dangerous to others. Supporters of this idea believe even that determines blood type and susceptibility to certain diseases and decide which is the most appropriate exercise for practice.
According to this diet, all foods fall into one of three categories: Highly beneficial, neutral and harmful. Useful foods for certain blood type act like medicine, neutral as food and harmful as poison.
Proponents of this diet believe that this diet (adjusted for blood group) helps to maintain health, slow the aging process and to some extent helps to lose weight. On the other hand, there is no solid scientific evidence for the effectiveness of the diet according to blood type.
Blood type O
Blood type O is the most prevalent in the world. Representatives of this blood type have a good digestive system and easier cleave proteins of animal origin, so most are recommended to consume meat.
Besides meat, they need to consume fruits and vegetables, and to reduce consumption of carbohydrates to a minimum. Best diets for blood type O are those that contain a lot of protein and little carbohydrate, and avoid the consumption of dairy products.
People with blood type O are susceptible to certain diseases such as ulcers and thyroid problems. Representatives of this group have much higher levels of stomach acid than others, and ulcers in consequence. Also, often suffer from fatigue, fluid retention in the body and weight gain.
