Blood Type Diets

Blood is life and a necessity for maintaining our existence, it fuels the power and mystery of birth and the horrors of disease, war and death. Blood Type is one of several medically recognized variations that classifies blood based on the presence and absence of antibodies and inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells. Your blood type -O, A, B or AB is a powerful genetic fingerprint that identifies you as surely as your DNA. According to naturopathic doctor Peter J. D’Adamo, antigens found in your blood are also present in other parts of your body, including your digestive tract which is what causes foods you eat to react chemically to your blood type. Your blood type is the key that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health, disease, longevity, physical vitality and emotional strength.

Blood type diets are a system of eating that categorizes foods as beneficial, neutral or harmful based on the nutritional needs of a persons blood type. Dr. D’Adamo’s diet plan promises a provision for your body’s most vital nourishment and also a vehicle for your future well-being. The first thing to note before starting this diet is your blood type and it is important to know that your blood type being either positive (+) or negative (-) does not play as big a role as the blood type group. Using Dr. D’Adamo’s research, we’ve provided a structured analysis on which foods, spices, teas and condiments will help someone of your blood type maintain optimal health.
