Is it even worth following a blood type diet?

A blood type diet has become one of the most popular nutritional trends of the 1990s, and while it may not seem harmful, it may seem complicated.

1. Type A

According to DAdamo, people with blood group A are characterized by low levels of stomach acid and high levels of disaccharides (carbohydrate digestive enzymes) in their intestines. As a result, it is difficult for people with this blood group to digest meat and animal products, and they can handle vegetables and starchy products perfectly. They are recommended to eat a meat-free diet based on plant-based, organic, unprocessed foods. They should also avoid significant amounts of coffee, alcohol, and sugar restriction.

2. Type B

This blood group evolved from our ancestors in the Himalayas of present-day India and Pakistan. So they had to adapt to the climate that prevailed there, different from the conditions of saffron. So people with B antigen are easily adapted to change. The products that promote the fat of these people and create a risk of hypoglycemia (low glycemic levels) after eating them are corn, honey, beans, garlic, juices, pomegranates, nuts, sesame seeds.

3. Type 0

According to the nutritionist, people with blood type 0 often suffer from stomach ulcers due to increased production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. They are better suited to digesting meat, metabolizing cholesterol and fat. A high intake of carbohydrates, especially simple sugars, leads to obesity. The contraindicated products include wheat, soybean oil, nuts, beans.

4. Type AB

Therefore, it is preferable for these people not to consume a single meal of protein and carbohydrate sources. They should avoid smoked and smoked meat. They are particularly unfavorable for alcohol and caffeine. They may be susceptible to stomach cancer. However, they should also avoid bananas, chicken, vegetables. Therefore, in their diet they should take into account both high blood pressure and low blood glucose levels.
