What is on Your Plate?

Most of us know that a chemical reaction occurs between your blood and the foods we eat, it is part of our  genetic inheritance.  But many do not know that protein lectins plays a big role in how our blood agglutinates and reacts to certain food causing this gluing process to take place, in other words if you eat a food containing protein lectins that are incompatible with your blood type and stomach enzymes that food can now target an organ or body system ( kidney, brain, stomach etc.) and begin to agglutinate the blood cells in that area. Food Lectins have characteristics that are close enough to certain blood type antigen to make it an enemy to another, for example milk has Type B like qualities; so if a person with Type A blood drinks it, their system will immediately start this blood gluing process in order to reject it resulting, then in foods that are not broken down or digested properly, and the vitamin and mineral do not get absorbed into your bloodstream to fuel and nourish your body.

This type of agglutination can adversely affect your health and well being, for instance if you are Type A or AB who already have thick blood, this will cause it to become even thicker and the thicker the blood the slower it moves and the harder your heart must pump to push it through  your arteries, this slow moving blood makes it easier for plaque to build up on your artery walls causing illnesses like high blood pressure, heart disease or other serious illness.  That is why I feel that it is of the utmost importance that people should learn how to eat according to their blood type.  Knowledge is power and practicing the principles of the Blood Type Diet could just be what you need in order to achieve optimal health and weight control just to name a few.
