Right Diet For Your Blood Type (General Introduction) Cont...
Intro: A diet for the 21st century. Most people know about their blood type when only a blood transfusion is needed. Women of childbearing age are now aware of their blood type, especially during pregnancy. What people eat nowadays is big business.
Blood type is a genetic powerhouse with a primary influence on the immune system, metabolism, and digestive processes. So different blood types have their own preferences. So knowing your blood type is an obligation for good health, don’t wait for emergencies.
Eating rightly for according to your blood type will prevent, or enhance certain health conditions. For example, weight loss, control blood pressure, sugar level, and bloated stomach, reduce pains, having more energy etc. Lifetime suffering resolved. It is a long-term way of eating and living.
The Blood Type Diet is unique in that; it presents a theory of personalized nutrition in a society where people have learned to be comfortable with a one-size-fit-solution. Nutrigenomics (the way food affects gene expression). Each of the basic four Blood Type Diet is healthy in its own right. The Blood Type Diet (BTD) simply adds the extra element of knowing which of the four basically healthy diets the most healthful diet is for you.
“……. Since each person was housed in a special body with different strengths, weaknesses, and nutritional requirements, only the way to maintain health or cure illness was to accommodate to that particular patient’s specific needs”

Your blood type is the key that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health, disease, longevity, physical vitality, and emotional strength. Your blood type determines your susceptibility to illness, which foods you should not eat, and how you should exercise. It is a factor in your energy level and perhaps even in your personality. Every human being is utterly unique, hence there is no right or wrong lifestyle or diet; there are only right or wrong choices to be made based on our individual genetic codes.
The human story was all about survival, where to live, what to eat, where to find it and moving to find it. Ultimately, the differences in blood types was to acclimate to the different environmental challenges. For most parts, these challenges impacted the digestive and immune systems. Hence survival is inextricably tied to our digestive and immune systems. It is in these two areas that most of the distinction between blood types are found; A, B, O, AB.
There are major differences between the blood types in how individual immune systems interact with the environment. The most important involves the
antibodies carried by the different blood types. These are the same antibodies that prohibit transfusion of blood between different blood types.
Type “O is for old”, mostly wonderers, eating mainly animals. So their system can digest animal protein easily due to HCL acid in their stomach.
Type “A for Agrarian”. These are settlers and do domesticate grains, vegies etc. settling into permanent farming communities presented new developmental challenges. There is a high percentage of Type A in the areas of the world with long histories of urban living. They are most resistant as compared to Type O.
Type “B is for balance”, do well with food both from animals and plants ie (omnivore). This group sprang up with the pastoral nomads who were first settlers and then have to move due to wars.
Types “AB is for modern”, Type A and Type B simply co-exist since they are both dominant alleles ie co-dominant. Type AB came to existence through the simple circumstance of a population of Type A blood colliding and cohabitating with a population of Type B blood. Unlike A, B, O, which were adaptations to climate, diet and disease. AB is the first blood type to adopt an amalgamation of immune characteristics, some of which make it stronger, and some of which are in conflict. Types AB presents the perfect metaphor for modern life: complex and unsettled.
