At the end of the 20th century, scientists identified 4 types of blood. They are still being studied. A little later, they developed a diet that depends on the blood type. Tables with recommended products have interested diet lovers. The bottom line is that the effect of food on the body depends on the blood type, on the genetic predisposition of the body.

Distinctive Features of Blood Nutrition

American naturopath Peter D'Adamo was the first to develop a diet based on blood type. A table with products recommended for consumption allows you to normalize metabolism and cope with the problem of modern humanity - obesity.

The theory is based on the assertion that blood type determines the similarities and differences between people. From this depends the predisposition to diseases. Nutrients have different effects on people with different blood types. Lecithins in the blood may not accept some food, which will affect the work of the whole organism. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully select food according toblood group. The table of foods allowed for consumption should be studied by supporters of this diet. According to the theory, there are foods that are beneficial, harmful or neutral.

Basic principles of nutrition by blood type:

1. Dividing people into 4 types according to the number of blood groups - 1(O), 2(A), 3(B), 4(AB).
2. Each type should receive certain foods that are suitable at the genetic level. Prohibited foods should be excluded, they cause various diseases. Neutral foods should be consumed in small quantities.
3. Carriers of different blood types should exercise according to individual characteristics. For example, carriers of the first blood group should do regular strength training, the second - calm, moderate exercise.
4. Additional vitamins and minerals also depend on blood type.

Basic Diet Group 1

Blood type number 1 is considered the most ancient. Its owners are descendants of primitive man. The first blood type is the most common and makes up about 30% of all blood types.

Carriers of 0 blood are called "hunters", having the following body features:

• powerful digestive system;
• strong active immunity;
• difficult adaptation to new conditions and nutrition;
• appearance of an allergic reaction;
• increased chance of bleeding disorders;
• frequent inflammatory processes;
• high stomach acid.

The nutrition table for 1 blood group includes high-protein foods. Ancient man led an active lifestyle and meat was required to maintain strength. Physical activity is required for a person using the basics of nutrition for the first blood group. The table shows the main types of sports.

Recommendations for owners of blood type 1

According to adherents of nutrition by blood type, owners of group 1 should follow the recommendations in choosing food:

1. Include meat in your diet. Prepare meat dishes daily or several times a week, without abusing large portions. The average amount is 100 grams. This product is required for proper metabolism. Boiled or juicy steak with blood will bring the greatest benefit. If eating meat with blood is unacceptable, then the type of cooking that seems to be the most optimal should be preferred. Before cooking, you can marinate the meat in lemon juice and spices to taste.
2. Eating sea fish. If a person has group 1, then animal protein is needed daily. Sea fish oil hasanti-inflammatory effect, which positively affects the pathogenic processes of the owners of the 1st blood group and supports the functioning of the thyroid gland.
3. Give up dairy products. According to the theory of nutrition, animals were tamed later. Milk causes poor he alth and digestive problems.
4. Exclude flour products and cereals. Wheat is the most undesirable product for people with the first blood type. Digestion problems are caused by all foods containing flour, kurpa, bran and oatmeal.
5. Give up legumes. Beans and peas are an excellent source of vegetable protein, but not for "hunters". They should get their building protein exclusively from animal products. Plants will not bring benefits.
6. Nuts and dried fruits should be preferred as a snack. thanks to them, the deficiency of vitamins and minerals is replenished.
7. Instead of coffee and black tea, drink green tea, it reduces the acidity of gastric juice without reducing the amount of enzymes.

Additionally, you can use nutritional supplements that increase the nutritional value of the diet. Ginger is an antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory effects. Cloves fight fungal infections.

Strong alcoholic drinks and white wine remain banned. Red wine is recommended to consume no more than 1 glass per week.

Basics of food "wanderers"

The next group appeared during the period of settlement of new lands and resettlement of people. The needs of people have changed, they began to move, move. The carriers of group B are called "wanderers" or "nomads". Their number is no more than 20% of the total population of the planet.

In the food table by blood type, the ingredients are selected taking into account the characteristics of the carriers:

• strong immunity;
• adaptation to new conditions;
• perception of different nutrition;
• with no change in diet, immunity to many diseases;
• prone to self-destruction of the immune system in case of nutritional errors.

The general resettlement of "nomads" left an imprint on their food. They have no particular preferences, the menu is varied. It includes protein products, a variety of cereals, fruits and vegetables.

Requires moderate activity for a person using blood type 3 nutrition. The table is shown below.

Blood type	Recommended activities	Contraindications
3	skates rollers bike swimming yoga	strength exercise

Recommendations to Group B

Carriers of blood type B do not have a predisposition to disorders of the digestive system. The parameters of gastric juice are normal. They digest protein and carbohydrate foods. The intestines have an alkaline environment above the norm, which protects food from rotting if the digestion process fails.

But their bodies are not perfect either. Abuse of protein foods, unlimited consumption of products leads to the accumulation of toxins in the intestines. Therefore, "nomads" must observe moderation in food, and the digestion process will return to normal.

Basic principles, according to the food table for 3 blood groups:

1. Eat meat products no more than 4 times a week. Give preference to medium and small portions of baked meat. Protein helps keep you energized throughout the day.
2. Add substances with high enzymatic activity. Parsley, lemon balm, ginger are excellent for digestion. Thanks to them, the production of gastric juice increases and the peristalsis of the stomach increases.
3. Eat fermented milk products daily.
4. Choose fatty fish. In addition to protein, fish saturates the body with polyunsaturated fatty acids, which reduce the risk of developing negative processes and improve metabolism.

Overweight in such people is rare, for this reason they are not inclined to diet. Attitudes towards nutrition change only after any illness orthe negative effects of eating large meals.

Menu required for group B

The nutrition table for the 3rd blood type of the positive factor is the same as the negative one.

Option	Eating	Products
1	Breakfast	Egg omelette with bread slices, cottage cheese casserole.
	Snack	Apple.
	Lunch	Vegetable soup, beef stewed with cabbage and carrots.
	Snack	Almonds.
	Dinner	Fried flounder, beetroot salad with prunes.
2	Breakfast	Milk rice soup with dried fruits, bread.
	Snack	Orange.
	Lunch	Baked lamb, mashed potatoes, cheese and egg salad, green tea.
	Snack	hazelnuts.
	Dinner	Kefir, oatmeal cookies, pear.
3	Breakfast	Steamed cottage cheese omelette.
	Snack	Banana.
	Lunch	Mushroom soup, boiled vegetable salad with herbs, wheat bread, egg.
	Snack	Yogurt with fruit or oatmeal cookies.
	Dinner	Baked trout, vinaigrette.

There are no definite recommendations for choosing products for "nomads". It is only necessary to refuse some ingredients. This is:

• greek;
• chicken;
• tomatoes;
• peanuts.

Alcohol is not included in the food table for blood type 3 because it is especially dangerous. "Nomads" are prone to diseases of internal organs, gastritis and strokes.

The menu is quite varied and allows you to use different types of products. Preference is given to baking, boiling and quick frying.

Diet basics for the AB group

4 blood type is the youngest, appeared no more than 15 centuries ago. Owners of this type make up 8% of the total population of the planet. The blood group nutrition table includes a variety of foods, because the AB group includes the qualities of 2 and 3 blood groups:

• susceptibility of the body's immune system to disease;
• digestive system difficult to adapt to changes in diet;
• prone to infectious diseases;
• low stomach acid;
• inability to fully digest food;
• Changes in diet lead to a decrease in the response of the body.

Carriers of the 4th blood group are recommended moderate exercise.

Blood type	Recommended activities	Contraindications
4	race walking swimming tennis	strength exercise intense aerobics

Recommendations for holders of 4 blood types

Whenformation of the nutrition table of 4 blood groups, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the body:

1. Give up chicken and red meat. Beef consumption can be reduced rather than completely eliminated from the diet. The enzymatic system of the owners of the 4th group does not allow the digestion of protein products completely. Assimilation slows down, which disrupts metabolism and causes the development of putrefactive bacteria.
2. Fish is the main source of animal protein. You can eat sea or river. Sea fish saturates the body with he althy fats, is easily digested and does not cause intoxication of the body.
3. Use soy products for plant-based protein.
4. Refuse milk and cottage cheese. Replace with yogurt, kefir, hard cheese. You can add sour cream or butter. Dairy products can be consumed no more than 3 times a week. It's not worth giving up on them. They improve metabolism and increase intestinal peristalsis. Proper functioning of the digestive system strengthens the immune system.
5. Include foods rich in vitamin A in your diet. Broccoli and carrots help improve digestion and enzyme production.

Compliance with the basics of nutrition for group 4 avoids digestive problems, improves metabolism, strengthens the body's defenses and normalizes the nervous system.
