The blood group nutrition method was developed by the American physician Peter D'Adamo. According to his theory, the digestibility of food, the efficiency of its use by the body is directly related to the genetic characteristics of a person. That is, with your blood group. For the normal functioning of the immune and digestive systems, a person needs to eat foods that correspond to the blood group, that is, those that their ancestors ate in ancient times. The elimination of substances incompatible with blood from the diet reduces excoriation in the body, improves the functioning of internal organs and promotes weight loss. Consuming the same "foreign" products leads to body slagging and rapid growth of body fat.
The theory of nutrition by blood group has sparked heated discussions among doctors, which have not abated so far. From the D'Adamo technique, various diets by blood group have been developed, which have recently become very fashionable. How, according to D'Adamo, should people with different blood types eat?
Foods according to the first blood group
People who have 1 blood group (0) and are called "hunters" should rely on animal protein, and should reject bread, pasta and dairy products.
Blood group 1 (0) is the oldest and the most common. People with the first blood group are meat eaters with a persistent digestive tract, an overactive immune system, and poor adaptation to new diets. The digestive tracts of "hunters" have not yet adapted to dairy products and grains.
Especially useful products

Nutrition according to the second blood group.
Representatives of the second blood group (A) - "farmers" - are recommended vegetarian food.
The appearance of blood group 2 (A) is associated with the transition of people to agriculture. The owners of the second blood group are vegetarians with a sensitive digestive tract. They need natural food that is respectful with the environment. People with the second blood group should exclude meat from the diet: if in the body of "hunters" meat is burned for fuel, in "farmers" it turns into fat. They also poorly assimilate dairy foods. But "farmers" can eat a variety of low-fat natural products, vegetables, and grains.

Nutrition according to the third blood group.
Blood type 3 (B) appeared when human tribes began to migrate north, in an area with a severe climate. Therefore, the owners of the third blood group D'Adamo called "nomads". They have a powerful immune system and can make food choices more freely than people with 1 and 2 blood groups. The "nomads" are the main consumers of milk. A harmonious combination of physical and mental activity will help them maintain their shape and good humor.
Soy, chicken, sunflower oil, tomatoes and pomegranates are contraindicated in people with the third blood group; all dairy products, fish, lamb, rabbit meat, and flaxseed oil are helpful.

Nutrition according to the fourth blood group.
Blood group 4 (AB) appeared less than a thousand years ago as a result of a mixture of other groups. Hence the name: "new people. "People with the fourth blood group respond quickly to changes in the environment and nutrition. They have a sensitive digestive tract and an overly tolerant immune system. The best way to stay in shape is to combine brain work with light physical activity.
The basis of nutrition for the owners of the fourth blood group should be fat-free foods from sour milk, lamb, venison, vegetables and fruits.
The set of extra pounds is influenced by mixed heritage. To lose weight, the owners of 4 blood groups should limit the consumption of meat, combine it with vegetables. Inheritance from ancestors B is a negative insulin reaction to beans, corn, buckwheat, and sesame seeds. But thanks to the A ancestors, your body accepts lentils and peanuts well. Unlike both, the AB people respond well to wheat.

A little conclusion
Above are the foods that are specific to the diet of each blood group. However, each of us has our own individual characteristics. Therefore, when choosing food products, choosing a diet by blood group, one should take into account not only the general recommendations, but also individuality, first of all, the origin and blood group of the ancestors.
Doctors have yet to come to a consensus on the efficacy of blood type nutrition, although most nutritionists consider this theory to be at least valid. For people suffering from any chronic disease, nutrition by blood group should be used very carefully, be sure to consult a doctor.
