Blood type diet

Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness. This approach takes into account the specifics of digestion, a person's lifestyle and predisposition to disease. With the help of such tactics, it is possible to choose suitable food products. The blood type diet is based on this method.

Nutrition by blood type: benefits and characteristics

The blood type diet method was developed by the American physiotherapist Peter D'Adamo. The doctor observed the patients and noticed that this or that food has a positive or negative effect on the body condition of people with different blood groups.

Peter D'Adamo suggested a blood type classification for his diet.

• The first 0 (I) are people who make up one third of the world's population. The first blood group is considered the oldest. People with this blood type prefer a meat-based diet.
• The second A (II) - began to appear during the period of human transition from hunting to agriculture. It is considered a vegetarian.
• The third B (III) - emerged as humans settled on all continents. People with this blood type eat almost everything.
• Quarter AB (IV) - about 3% of the world's population. Representatives of this group are also omnivorous, only they have fewer dietary restrictions.

D'Adamo blood type diet is based on the following principles:

• The diet corresponds to the type of people depending on the blood type. You can only eat permitted foods that are genetically compatible with the human body. Undesirable products will cause the appearance of overweight and the development of pathologies.
• Physical activity. For different blood types, certain physical activities and sports are considered appropriate.
• The use of food additives. Proper nutrition according to D'Adamo limits the intake of a number of nutrients and vitamins. This affects the general condition of the body and the composition of the blood in particular (decrease or increase of hemoglobin). Therefore, it is worthwhile to consume extra food additives to avoid deficiency of essential substances.

Characteristics of the diet of people with the 1st blood group

A diet high in protein is suitable for members of the first blood group. It is dominated by animal proteins. Red lean meat (lamb, beef), seafood and fatty fish, liver and other by-products are preferred. Of the vegetables, it is best to eat leafy vegetables and choose olive oil. Sprouted cereals, nuts, plums and figs are excellent sources of micronutrients.

In a blood type diet, people with the first type should exclude gluten (oats, wheat, rye), fatty fermented dairy products, legumes and cabbage. The presence of such foods in the diet has a negative effect on metabolism and weight loss. From the drinks it is worth to prefer mint tea and rose broth.

• Dietary difficulty for the family, if there are different blood groups.

Dietary recommendations for people with blood clotting problems

Violation of blood composition affects a person's health and quality of life. These discrepancies must be eliminated, knowing the reason for their occurrence. If they are caused by a lack of nutrients or an excessive amount of harmful substances, then you should follow a special diet before consulting your doctor.

The most common blood disorder is low or high hemoglobin levels. Oxygen saturation of the body suffers from a decrease in hemoglobin or an increased norm of it. Every body needs potassium and iron to properly transport oxygen to the cells. Consumption of iron-containing products and drugs that increase its level will help to increase hemoglobin. A diet to increase hemoglobin in the blood should include 150 g of protein, 100 g of fat, 350 g of carbohydrates, 50 mg of iron, 20 mg of zinc, 5 mg of copper, B vitamins. To increase hemoglobin, you must eatthe following foods:

• beef, rabbit, chicken, turkey.
• beef and chicken liver;
• buckwheat;
• chocolate, cocoa;
• eggs;
• dried apricots, plums;
• pomegranate, apples.

Elevated hemoglobin levels can cause heart attacks or strokes as the blood becomes viscous and viscous, causing blood clots and plaque to form. A diet with increased hemoglobin should beat the exact opposite of the previous one. To reduce its level, you should exclude from the diet red meat and by-products, cereals, berries and red fruits. A diet that lowers hemoglobin also eliminates the intake of lipids, which lead to high blood cholesterol levels. Blood oversaturated with triglycerides affects the development of heart disease. Taking medications to reduce and complex multivitamins will also help normalize the level of iron-containing protein.

People with thrombocytosis or thrombocytopenia also need dietary adjustments. With high platelets, you should drink as much fluid as possible. The daily menu should include fresh cucumbers, seaweed, nuts, fish. Under the influence of organic acids, platelets are destroyed. To reduce their level, cranberry tea or fruit drink, grapes, apple juice will help.

A diet rich in protein, carbohydrates and iron will alleviate low platelet levels. It is worth eating chopped, diet food. You should eat buckwheat, bananas, spinach, greens, cabbage, apples, pomegranates, red meat.

With elevated blood amylase, you should consult a doctor immediately, as this may indicate a dysfunction of the pancreas, which adversely affects the digestive process and the condition of the body as a whole.
