EAT RIGHT FOR (4) YOUR TYPE
In his book, EAT RIGHT FOR (4) YOUR TYPE , Dr. Peter D’Adamo teaches the fundamental relationship between your blood type and the
dietary and lifestyle choices that will help you live at your very best. When you use the individualized characteristics of your blood type as a guide post
for eating and living, you will be healthier, you will naturally reach your ideal weight, and you will slow the process of aging. You can pinpoint the
foods that make you sick, contribute to weight gain, and lead to chronic disease.
Our ancestors had unique blueprints that complemented their environments. The genetic characteristics of our ancestors live in our blood today,
and it is this lesson we bring with us into our current understanding of blood types. Your Blood Type Plan lets you zero in on the health and nutrition
information that corresponds to your exact biological profile. With this new information, you can now make choices about your diet, exercise regimen,
and general health that are based on the dynamic natural forces within your own body. If you follow your Blood Type Plan carefully, you can:
Avoid many common viruses and infections.
Lose weight, as your body rids itself of toxins and fats.
Fight back against life-threatening diseases such as cancer,
cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver failure.
Avoid many of the factors that cause rapid cell deterioration,
thus slowing down the aging process.
Today, it is well accepted that nutrition has a direct impact on the state of our health and general well-being. But confusing, and often
conflicting, information about nutrition has created a virtual minefield for health-conscious consumers. Your blood type diet works because you are
able to follow a clear, logical, scientifically researched and certified dietary blueprint based on your cellular profile.
Each of the sixteen food groups divides foods into three categories: HIGHLY BENEFICIAL, NEUTRAL, and AVOID. Think of the categories
this way:
HIGHLY BENEFICIAL is a food that acts like medicine.
NEUTRAL is a food that acts like a food.
AVOID is a food that acts like poison.
This diet was not specifically designed for weight loss: it was designed for optimum performance. The dynamics of weight loss are related to the
changes your body makes when you follow your genetically tailored diet. As your body makes the dramatic shift of eliminating foods that are poorly
digested or toxic, the first thing it does is try to flush out the toxins that are already there. Those toxins are deposited mainly in the fat tissue, so the
process of eliminating toxins also means eliminating fat. Each blood type has it’s own reactions to certain foods. These are outlined in your Blood Type
Diet.
As outlined in EAT RIGHT FOR (4) YOUR TYPE, diet, weight management, dietary supplementation, stress control, and personal qualities all
form the essential elements of your individual Blood Type Plan. Refer to them often as you begin to familiarize yourself with the specific qualities of
your blood type.
TYPE O
“THE HUNTER”
Blood Type O is the oldest and most basic blood type. The appearance of our Cro-Magnon ancestors in around 40,000 B.C. propelled the
human species to the top of the food chain. Skillful and formidable hunters, the Cro-Magnons soon had little to fear from any of their animal rivals.
Protein meat was their fuel, and it was at this point that the digestive attributes of Blood Type O reached their fullest expression. The original Type Os
were the epitome of focus, drive, and a strong sense of self-preservation. Every Person with Type O blood carries a genetic memory of strength,
endurance, self-reliance, daring, intuition, and an innate optimism.
Strengths: hardy digestive tract, strong immune system, natural defenses against infections, and a system designed for efficient metabolism
and preservation of nutrients. Weaknesses: intolerant to new dietary and environment conditions. Medical risks: blood-clotting disorders,
inflammatory diseases– arthritis. Exercise Regimen: intense physical exercise, such as: aerobics, martial arts, contact sports, running, swimming,
cycling, brisk walking, etc.
