Should Blood Type Control Your Diet?
Certain Types Need Certain Exercise, Author Says
What To Eat
Type As should not eat meat, dairy products or whole-wheat products. A vegetarian diet is best for this blood type. D'Adamo says.Type Os should eat protein, meat and dairy products.Type Bs mix should mix dietary requirements of both A and O blood types, which would be a combination of meat and plenty of vegetables.As for exercise regimens, Type As are told to look for less rigorous activities such as yoga or Tai Chi. Type Bs should follow an exercise regimen that includes yoga or Tai Chi as well as 2-mile run. Type Os require rigorous exercise.D'Adamo says the diet will help deal with health issues such as hypoglycemia, hormonal imbalances and irregular bowel movements. He says this is key, because when the one organ is not working properly it causes other organs to work extra hard."Conditions such as hyperactivity, inability to concentrate, loss of memory and irritability are often caused by this problem. Hypoglycemia is the No. 1 disease of this generation primarily because of our inordinate consumption of refined and processed foods," D'Adamo writes.D'Adamo says that this must be addressed before any real weight loss can be attained. For an O, it typically takes 2 years; 2½ for a B and 3 years for an A.Dealing with being overweight is crucial, D'Adamo says, because weight problems often lead to diabetes, heart disease and kidney problems.No Science
Tara Gidus, a registered dietician and nutritionist, says it is definitely true that some people may have to modify diet's based on medical condition, but not enough research has been done to show a direct correlation to blood type."There's no medical evidence to show that your blood type should determine what you eat," Gidus says.Gidus believes there is some good dietary information in the book, such as limiting portion sizes and incorporating a more balanced meal."I don't think it's off the wall eliminating foods, but there's no medical research to back it up," she says.Copyright 2008, Internet Broadcasting.
