Most of us know by now that there are many different factors which can impact our health. Even if we are eating the same exact diet as the person next to us our body may react differently which means that not every diet is for everyone.
One new type of diet that has emerged recently is one that focuses on a person’s blood type-as the people who developed this diet believe that this has a huge impact on a person’s success rate. Personalized diets aren’t something that is new however, as many diets out there focus on eliminating allergens, health conditions or other factors.
While personalizing your diet based on these types of needs is a good idea, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to do so based on your blood type. With that being said there is some data showing that there may be a benefit to doing so, and here are the best diets for us based on our blood type.
This means that a diet for a person with type O blood should heavily revolve around fish, meat and other types of animal products. These people have shown a greater ability to metabolize and synthesize many of the cholesterols found in these animal products than the other blood types do.
People who fall into this category should adhere to a paleo type of diet, where proteins and fats make up most of the diet, and less carbohydrates.
This blood type is believe to stem back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors, which most of us envision when we think of those that came before us. These were the people that depended on food sources like berries, meats, vegetables and all different types of foods.
Due to the lifestyle of these travelling people, people who fall in to this category seem to be the most tolerant of all food types, allowing them to have a well balanced diet.
Ideally you want to be eating a diet that consists mainly of whole foods including vegetables, fruits and meats. Try to avoid sources of carbohydrates that are devoid of most nutrients besides fiber and calories, such as corn, and other similar grains.
