Blood type diet: heresy or science?
D. Peter Daddamo applied the theory of weight loss through the blood type diet based on several ideas, the most important of which is that each blood group contains its antigen. This generator distinguishes strange objects and friendly objects in the body. The theory of blood grouping is based on the following idea. Some foods interact with the antigen of each species to cause health problems and weight problems. DADAMO says that the digestive enzymes and enzymes are also affected by the blood type.
The types of food permitted by blood type are related to ancient civilizations. In short, this theory is based on the following ideas:
Blood category O: This category was discovered about 50,000 years BC, when humans ate many proteins, most notably meat.
Then came the blood type A, about 15,000 BC.
By that time, man had begun to settle in agricultural communities. Therefore, people have become focused on vegetarian foods, such as: vegetables, nuts, grains, pulses, beans, rice.
Blood type B, appeared 10,000 years before BC, when man at the time left the farms and moved to several lands. As a result, he has been eating a varied diet consisting of a number of foods including meat, dairy products, cereals and vegetables.
Finally, AB blood type, appeared only 1,000 years ago!
Dr. Dadamo believes that this type of blood has helped humans move to modern times. This means that people of the AB blood group can eat a mixture of appropriate foods for blood type A and blood type B.
Analysis of this system
Experts stress there is no link between the blood type and the diet we eat. Some concerns about blood type dieting include that the recommended diets for blood groups O and A largely excludes major groups of foods.
Dairy products, for example, lead to the risk of osteoporosis. The avoidance of meat leads to the consumption of a small amount of iron, which can lead to anemia.
Blood type relation with weight loss
Some mention that the blood type diet helps lose weight.
Nutritionists say it is possible not because it is a healthy diet, but because the elimination of any type of food in our system and the increase of eating vegetables, which contain a small amount of thermal units reduce the amount of food we eat and thus help to lose weight.
Finally, this diet is clearly based on science fiction rather than scientific reality. As we have already mentioned, following this system may expose some to major health problems once you have eliminated one of the basic types of foods.
The advice of weight-loss dieters is to: Enjoy and eat different types of foods in a healthy and moderate way.
