Hmmmm well, if that's true, maybe that's why some people prefer some food types over others. For example, I love carbs and meat isn't that important. Well, apparently because I'm A+ I can process carbs more efficiently and the most healthy diet is a vegetarian one, with perhaps the inclusion of fish. Perhaps that's also why some of these 'diets' work for some and not others!
I did some research on my blood type and found the source of most of the internet's information about the subject. Dr. Peter D’Adamo, a naturopathic physician, he even developed a diet based on blood types, which he describes in his book "Eat Right for Your Type."
Well, I am too impatient to buy the book, so his website worked just fine for me! I'm A+ here's the page on that. His website is a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
The part that really stood out to me was the area that describes personalities by blood type and what types of environments we thrive or struggle in... I mean... The A+ description was like written about ME!
"...sensitive to the needs of others, good listeners, detail oriented, analytical, creative and inventive"
Okay, okay, I can work on my listening skills at times... But, I mean come on! That is not everyone!
I have no clue if this is legitimate, but, it sounded more of a possibility of the diets and BS that people tend to believe. So, I its interesting at least and life changing possibly to some. So, here's the info I found....
Thoughts?!?!
Personality by blood type:
I found this article to be really neat! Here's a tid bit!
Blood Type O: Type O’s are outgoing, and very social. They are initiators, although they don’t always finish what they start. Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident.
Blood Type A: While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists) that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A’s are the most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious, trustworthy, and sensitive.
Blood Type B: Goal oriented and strong minded, type B’s will start a task and continue it until completed, and completed well. Type B’s are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life.
Blood Type AB: Type AB’s are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid. While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others.
Preferred diet by blood type:
The Dr's website and book is a more detailed place to read about this, but, I found this article helpful too....Type A blood: A meat-free diet based on fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains -- ideally, organic and fresh, because D'Adamo says people with type A blood have a sensitive immune system.
Type B blood: Avoid corn, wheat, buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Chicken is also problematic, D'Adamo says. He encourages eating green vegetables, eggs, certain meats, and low-fat dairy.
Type AB blood: Foods to focus on include tofu, seafood, dairy, and green vegetables. He says people with type AB blood tend to have low stomach acid. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoked or cured meats.
