Everyone has a blood type. Each person belongs to one of the 8 types of blood groups O+, O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+ and AB-, that have their own unique properties. Several studies have linked blood types to one's risk of heart disease, how delectable it is or can be to mosquitoes and more. Experts have also claimed eating a diet based on one's blood group can also prove healthy and weight-loss friendly. But how much of it is really true?
In his book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, published 1996, naturopathic physician Dr. Peter D'Adamo, has introduced his readers to the Blood Type Diet. The idea behind this type of diet is that every food one eats reacts chemically with one's blood type. This means that if you eat foods designed for your blood type, it can be digested more effectively and will provide your body with optimal benefits.
