BLOOD GROUP DIETThe Blood Group Diet is entirely attributable to the work conducted by by Dr P. D’Adamo. This “diet” is particularly interesting for those people who suffer with food allergies and food intolerance’s. But first it is worth noting the difference between food allergies and food intolerance’s. Food intolerances are something that we never grow out of, since it relates to an intolerance we have for certain foods, and linked to our blood type. Intolerances build up over time and as we get older they become more obvious. On the other hand a food allergy will be painfully obvious, in that you may have an immediate reaction – it may cause you to vomit, have diarrhoea, come out in a rash, or become bloated and uncomfortable. The way to use The Blood Group Diet, is to initially find out what type of blood is travelling through your veins – if you already know that’s great, otherwise you’ll have to find out. There are lots of ways to find out your blood type:
Then when you know if you’re an ‘O’, ‘A’, ‘B’ or an ‘AB’ you’ll be able to use the Blood Group Diet to best advantage. Having found out your blood type, simply start to read up about the type of foods, which are most suitable for you. For each blood group, you will find interesting information about the background to each blood group and the foods that:
Happy reading, and a word of advice, don’t try and change too much in your diet too quickly. The most effective approach is to start cutting out the poisons and start increasing the medicinal. Good luck!. Summary Of Key Points About Blood & Food Intolerance’s

BLOOD GROUP OHISTORY OF THE HUNTERBlood Group O is the oldest blood group appearing about 40,000BC. They are known as the Hunters originally hunting and gathering food. Blood Group O have a good digestive tract but are intolerant to dietary and environmental adaptations. They have an overactive immune system. When stressed the Hunter responds best with intense physical activity – going to the gym, a brisk walk or run, anything that will get them moving. This blood group requires an efficient metabolism to stay lean and energetic. Blood Group O can donate blood to all blood groups but can only receive blood from another type O. They have no antigens.
