Eat for your BLOOD TYPE! Do you believe in it?

I know that some people believe in eating for their blood type.  Introduced by Peter J D'Adamo, his book "Eat Right 4 Your Type" has become a bestseller.  Weeks back after reading an article on the subject, Mr R came home after physiotherapy and gladly announced that he should be eating more meat as he is an "O".  Well, he is probably trying to find every reasons to eat meat.  Basically, I have nothing against eating meat or otherwise.  To feed his desire, I have been serving meat for dinner and occasionally for breakfast.  His mood usually gets better if there is meat around. 

As for me, I am sticking by Pescetarianism  which is a dietary choice in which a person, known as a pescetarian, eats any combination of vegetables, fruit, nuts, beans and fish or invertebrate seafood, but will not eat mammals or birds. Some animal products like eggs and dairy may or may not be part of a pescetarian diet plan.  This has been my diet for many years after my surgeon told me that I should cut out diary products and take more beans including tofu.  She is concerned about the hormones which are present in meat products interferring with my body since I am proned to growth, cysts and cells inflammation.  Do I crave for meat?  Not at all, in fact after so many years, I find it difficult to even chew a piece of meat. 

As for the eat according to your blood type concept, I will leave it to you to decide but really eating is about what your body needs so a blood test on deficiency or otherwise is more accurate. 

In case you want to know what is "eat according to your blood type", read the following.

Type A
Individuals who fall under the Type A blood group should basically stick to fruits and vegetable. Their blood types is generally thicker than other blood types, and possess a sensitive immune system. These individuals should not consume (or should reduce intake) dairy products, animal fats and meats. They are also at a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.

Type B
Type B blood groupers should consume a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy and meat. However, they should try to refrain from chicken, and increase intake of red meat such as duck and beef. Unlike the other blood types, Type B individuals have the best chance of bypassing or overcoming everyday types of diseases, as well as heart disease and cancer.

Type AB
For Type AB individuals, intake of a mostly vegetarian diet is recommended. And only on rare occasions should they indulge in some fish, meat (not chicken) and dairy.

Type O
Those that fall under the Type O blood type should basically stick to a high protein diet, low carbs, as well as a balanced intake of fruits and vegetables. However, food foes for Type Os include most grain food such as corn and wheat germ. They should also try to avoid dairy products. Type O types are commonly affected with hypothyroidism, high stomach acid (leading to ulcers), and thinner blood with greater resistance to blood clotting
