The method of nutrition by blood group was developed by the American physician Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the digestibility of food, the efficiency of its use by the body is directly related to a person's genetic characteristics. That is, with his blood group. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive systems, a person needs to eat foods that correspond to their blood group, in other words, the foods that their ancestors ate in ancient times. Removal of blood -incompatible substances from the diet reduces slagging in the body, improves the function of internal organs, and promotes weight loss. Consumption of the same "foreign" products leads to body sagging and rapid growth of body fat.
The theory of nutrition by blood group has caused heated discussion among physicians, which has not abated to date. Based on D’Adamo’s technique, various diets according to blood group have been developed, which have recently become very fashionable. How, according to D’Adamo, should people with different blood types eat?
Food according to the first blood group
People who have 1 blood group (0) and are called "hunters" should be based on animal protein, and they should reject bread, pasta and dairy products.
Blood group 1 (0) is the oldest and most common. People with the first blood group are meat consumers with persistent digestive tracts, overactive immune systems, and poor adaptation to new diets. The digestive tract of "hunters" has not yet adapted to dairy products and cereals.

Nutrition according to the second blood group
Representatives of the 2nd blood group (A) - "farmers" - recommended vegetarian food.
The emergence of blood group 2 (A) is associated with the transition of people to agriculture. The owner of the second blood group is a vegetarian with a sensitive digestive tract. They need environmentally friendly natural foods. People with the second blood group should exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of the "hunter" meat is burned like fuel, then in the "farmer" it turns into fat. They also assimilate dairy foods poorly. But "farmers" can eat a variety of natural products with low fat content, vegetables and grains.
Especially useful products
Seafood in simple terms, soy, legumes, legumes, buckwheat, rice, artichokes, Jerusalem artichokes, vegetable oils, soy products, vegetables and pineapple.

Nutrition according to the third blood group
Blood type 3 (B) appears when human tribes begin to migrate north, in areas with harsh climates. Therefore, the owner of the third blood group D'Adamo called "nomad". They have a strong immune system, and they can choose foods more freely than people with 1 and 2 blood groups. "Nomads" are major consumers of milk. A harmonious combination of physical and mental activity will help them maintain good shape and mood.
Soy, chicken, sunflower oil, tomatoes and pomegranate are contraindicated in people with the third blood group; all dairy products, fish, lamb, rabbit meat and flaxseed oil are useful.

Nutrition according to the fourth blood group
Blood group 4 (AB) appeared less than a thousand years ago as a result of a mixture of other groups. Hence the name: "new people". People with the fourth blood group respond quickly to changes in the environment and diet. They have a sensitive digestive tract and an overly tolerant immune system. The best way to stay fit is to combine intellectual work with light physical activity.
The basis of nutrition for owners of the fourth blood group should be lean foods of sour milk, lamb, venison, vegetables and fruits.
The extra pound set is influenced by mixed ancestry. To lose weight, owners of 4 blood groups need to limit the consumption of meat, combining it with vegetables. The ancestral heritage of B is a negative insulin response to beans, corn, buckwheat and sesame seeds. But thanks to ancestor A, their bodies accept lentils and peanuts well. Unlike both, AB people respond well to wheat.
Especially useful products
Goat, turkey, cod, mackerel, dairy products, corn oil, oats, whole wheat bread, collard greens, cranberries, pineapple.

A little conclusion
Above are foods specific to the diet for each blood group. However, each of us has our own characteristics. Therefore, when choosing a food product, choosing a diet according to blood group, one must take into account not only the general recommendations, but also a person's personality, first of all - the origin and ancestral blood group.
Doctors have yet to reach a consensus on the effectiveness of a blood type diet, although most nutritionists consider this theory to be at least valid. For people suffering from any chronic disease, nutrition according to blood group should be used with caution, be sure to consult a doctor.
