Eat for your blood type diet reviewed

By: Juliana LaChance

 Do you know what blood type you have?

Did you know that your immune and digestive systems have a predisposition for the same foods that your blood type ancestors ate? This claim is based on research by the creator of the blood type diet Dr. D’Adamo generated through decades of his ongoing research and clinical work. His New York Best Selling Book, Eat for your blood type, outlines the four blood types and there link to the foods that your blood type ancestors ate.

Scientists have been able to use blood type to map the movements and grouping of our ancestors and the way they adapted to challenges, changing climates, and germs and the foods they ate. 

These blood types contain the genetic messages of diets and behaviours that still affect us. It suggests that based on our blood type certain foods are more beneficial than others.

 This can bring relief to the one size fits all diets that work for some people and not for others. Especially in the 21st century where there are so many varieties of foods to choose from. This brings some clarity on how to choose foods for ultimate health and vitality.

Eat right for your blood type makes choosing foods easy when you know your blood type and can modify your diet and exercise to its guidelines and see if it works for you. If you have been trying everything to create balance and healing or increase energy perhaps following your blood type diet will create profound and lasting changes. 

I recommend the book, eat for your blood type which has interesting insights and stories about this research and outlines the foods that are beneficial for each of the four blood types. Eat for you Blood Type by Dr. D’Adamo is available at the public library. If you are interested in finding out your blood type you can donate blood at Canadian blood services.  The blood type diet provides interesting information with great claims for a balanced diet that is in harmony with your blood types predispositions.
