Every person comes to an age where they start thinking about the correct diet. Some make this decision due to excess weight, others - fight disease. Lost in her thoughts, a person rereads a lot of literature in search of a suitable option for a healthy diet. How to choose a diet to get the most benefit? A professional nutritionist can provide advice. After all, if the question arises of changing your diet, amateur performance can be expensive.
It should be understood that food can heal and sometimes paralyze. Therefore, any diet should be based on the laws of natural harmony, only then will the diet be beneficial.
Nature has created everything in an amazing way. There are 4 seasons, 4 stages of growth, 4 cardinal points. Surprisingly, there are also four blood groups. Each of them has its own composition. Today, a special diet for the blood group has been developed, in which certain foods are selected for each of them.
Basics of diet
Based on many years of medical practice, numerous consultations in nutritional issues, after supporting the theory with his father's research, the American doctor Peter D'Adamo showed the world a unique nutritional method, which later became knownas a "blood group diet". It was based on the assumption that weight, height and, of course, skin color were not the main differences between people. It all depends on the blood group.
Lecithins, which saturate all the tissues of the human body, are taken with food. These important building blocks of cells interact with blood groups in completely different ways. In terms of chemical composition, meat lecithins differ significantly from the component of plant foods. To have excellent health and longevity, those building substances should be consumed in the foods that will bring the most benefits to the body.
Menu selection based on common ancestors
The blood group diet is based on an evolutionary division developed by the American immunochemist William Clouser Boyd. Based on this theory, the owners of the same blood groups have a common past. This allows you to make an exciting and, from a nutritional point of view, quite rewarding time travel.
- Blood group 1. According to the doctor, these are human hunters. He believes that such a group is the blood of the very first people on the planet. Of course, meat-rich foods are the best food.
- Group 2. This population is classified as farmers. The ideal diet for this category of people is quite predictable. It is recommended to eat more and a variety of vegetables and to minimize red meat in the diet.
- Group 3. Defines the nomads. Owners of such blood are distinguished by strong immunity and unpretentious digestion. However, people with the third group should be very careful with dairy products. After all, their lactose intolerance is a historically confirmed fact.
- Group 4. These people are a unique mystery. This rare blood has emerged quite recently and illustrates evolutionary variability, as it combines the characteristics of several groups.
Product table
For your convenience, below is a table of lists of foods to include in the menus. For example, it is known that the diet should contain vegetables if a person has a blood type 2. The diet, the table of recommended foods confirms this, although it may contain some other components.

Peculiarities of the representatives of the 1st group
Every "hunter" should know their positives. But you shouldn't rule out risk factors. The blood group 1 diet requires a high protein food, meat, in the diet.
These people, as a rule, are strong and self-sufficient, quite resolute.
Positive:
- excellent digestive tract;

With all this, even the owners of the first group have weaknesses. It is quite important to know them. It is worth noting that the blood group 1 diet fully takes into account all these characteristics.
Risk associated with:
- problems with blood clotting;
- predisposition to various inflammatory processes;
- a tendency to develop ulcers due to high acidity;
- allergies.
So you can take care of your health, choosing the optimal products according to the group to which you belong.
However, the question of the Rh factor often arises. Studies have shown that it shouldn't affect how the diet is formulated. 1 blood group - negative and positive - speaks of the same synthesis of nutrients. This means that the diet is the same. As a result, the diet menu differs according to the blood group and not at all according to the Rh factor.
