Is What's On Your Plate Robbing You Of Optimal Health?

They are many folks that have heard about the blood type diet but many however, are not aware of the connection of the blood type to nutrition, exercise, personality, and susceptibility to different diseases.  Do you know your blood type?  My purpose here is to bring about an awareness of the concept and how important of a role our blood type plays when it comes to optimum health and well-being.  For more detail explanation I strongly recommend Dr. Peter D’Adamo “Eat Right 4 Your Type” book which is a best seller and one that has been translated into over 50 languages.  To date they are over thousands of folks that are experiencing remarkable results just by implementing the principles found in this book.......

I should add that the advice in this book is not intended as a substitute or recommendation of your health care provider, an especially if you have an existing health issue if that is the case you should consult a physician before trying this or any other diet.  But in my personal opinion this way of eating could just be the missing link in the recovery and or prevention of many of our present health problems.  I know that it can be a strong statement to make but with so many testifying to the benefits they are getting from this diet I must say that the pie is in the pudding when it comes to eating right for your type.    Dr. D’Adamo states in this book that foods are classified into three categories beneficial, neutral, and avoid.  Following are a few examples of the three basic classifications for each blood type in order to maximize your health.

Type O

Highly Beneficial: Beef, lamb, liver, eggs, salmon, whitefish, olive and flaxseed oils, onions, kale, garlic, spinach, plums and prunes, pineapple juice, to mention a few.
