How to Lose Weight Based on Blood Type
There are four basic blood types, which are type O, A, B and AB. Type O is the first originator, the oldest blood line goes back approximately 30,000. Type A and type B goes back approximately 20,000 years ago, Type AB 1000 years ago.
Based on the idea from Dr Peter D’ Adamo, naturopath and creator of the blood type diet claims in his book Eat Right For Your Blood Type, we can lose weight easily if we know our own blood type and the link between foods and blood type.
This is based on the idea that each blood group has its own unique antigen marker (a substance that the body recognizes as being alien) and this marker responds badly with certain type of foods, leading to all sorts of potential health problems. Moreover, Dr D’Adamo opinion that levels of digestive enzymes and stomach acidity are linked with our own blood type. As a result, if we can follow a specified design diet based on our own blood type, our body digests and absorbs food more efficiently, with this result that we can lose weight.
