One of the most famous food systems - a diet for blood groups, invented by a famous naturopathic doctor Peter D'Adamo. Created by him the concept of "4 blood groups - 4 ways to health", has become the basis of many theories and a number of scientific papers. His research has proved that people with the same blood group have a general predisposition to a number of diseases, they have common biological regimes of sleep and rest, similar resistance to stress. The organisms of people with the same blood group respond equally to a number of foods.
Dr. D'Adamo suggested that the oldest people had only one blood group - 1, after people learned how to cultivate the land, grow cereals, and eat them, there was a second blood group. The 3rd group arose as a result of the ancient peoples' wandering to the north, in conditions with a harsher and colder climate. And the 4th blood group is the youngest group that appeared as a result of the unification of 1 and 2 blood groups.
It follows that people with different blood groups need different foods genetically. And it is the eating of food that does not suit people with a particular blood group that leads to negative results: overweight, digestive problems. The thing is that all the food, reacts chemically with blood, and what will result in a positive reaction with blood group 1 will have a negative effect on groups 2 and 3. Any product contains substances such as lectins (proteins that bind carbohydrates or in other words glycoproteins). Each specific blood group is genetically programmed to assimilate specific lectins. If you use a large number of products with unsuitable lectins, then they begin to accumulate in the digestive organs. The organism perceives cells in which the largest accumulation of negative lectins, as alien, and begins to fight them.
What are the properties of nutrition for blood groups?
It was found that people who used "their" products stopped accumulating toxins, the body itself burned all the excess fat, improved metabolism, and did not exacerbate chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Another no less positive factor is that a person does not need to limit himself in nutrition, the process is gradual, the body is cleared, becoming not only slimmer, but also healthier. Diet for the blood group is not classified as "fast", with its help you can not lose weight in 2 months. But people who constantly adhere to this diet, no longer gain weight.
Based on his theory, Dr. Peter D'Adamo created a table of products for the blood group diet . People with 1 (0) blood group were called "hunters", their menu should predominate meat products, and bread and pasta should be excluded from the diet. For such people, a special diet for group 1 blood was created. 2 (A) The group is "farmers", they should eat plant products, and very restrict themselves in meat, for them, Dr. D'Adamo developed a diet for the 2nd blood group . 3 (B) are "nomads", driving cattle north, these people are accustomed to eating dairy products, cheeses, and quite a small amount of meat and fish. The ideal diet for them will be a diet for the 3rd blood group . And people with a 4 (AB) blood group that appeared no more than a thousand years ago, and who were called "new people", can eat practically any food, as described in detail in the diet for the 4th blood group
To adhere to such a diet is not difficult, you just need to find your blood group in the table, choose products useful for your blood group (marked +), and sometimes you can eat and neutral (marked 0). And products harmful to your blood group should be excluded from the diet (marked -).
Influence of Rhesus factor
Often people are interested in whether a positive or negative Rh factor affects the diet by blood group. It is known that 86% of people have a positive Rh factor (that is, there is an antigen on the surface of their erythrocytes). The remaining 14% have a negative blood group. Nutrition by blood group is calculated specifically for differences in the composition of certain antigens and antibodies in people with different blood groups. Given that most people have a positive Rh factor, they should choose a diet for the blood group, not taking into account the positive or negative Rh factor.
It should be noted that the diet for the blood group received good reviews not only from 2.5 million people who adhered to it, but also such stars as Sergei Bezrukov, Oleg Menshikov, Mikhail Shufutinsky, Vladimir Mashkov, Sergei Makovetsky.
