Diet base on blood type
Jul 7th
Around the year 1996 in the United States introduced a new way by basing a diet on the blood group of the agent. This diet was introduced by a naturopatis from Stamford, Connecticut, United States, named Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo.
In his book entitled “Eat Right For Your Type ‘, Dr. D’Adamo states that humans have different blood types must have a response or responses to different foods.
This idea is rooted in evolutionary history, particularly those related to differences in blood type (O, A, B and AB). Based on the history of evolution was mentioned that approximately 50,000 to 25,000 years BC, our ancestors have the same blood type, namely O. They are true hunters. Every day the food just meat.
However, at around 25 000 to 15 000 BC, when humans change the lifestyle of hunter-gatherers and later became an agrarian, there was blood type A, as an adjustment of existing habit. Then, due to mixing of different races and the migration from Africa to Europe, Asia, and America, type B blood appeared. Furthermore, in modern times that has been filled with a variety of human, there is a new type AB blood.
In this case, Dr. D’Adamo believes that the ability to adapt to an environment that has caused the man’s blood type changes. Adaptation is of course related to food diasup, D’Adamo is believed to be the key sound of our ancestors. Therefore, according to him, if you want healthy we must eat as practiced by our ancestors. For example, he recommends that those who are blood type O fit on a diet with more meat mengasup, whereas for blood type A follow vegetarian diets, namely a low-fat foods.
How that conclusion can be obtained Dr. D’Adamo? Of course the answer through research he had done. Research over the years of blood type indicate that there are physiological effects that arise due to lectin that enters the body. Lectin is a protein contained in general food, especially grain legumes from the plant. Each protein is absorbed by the body through the foods we asup, he said, each of which is only compatible with certain blood types. If food is lektinnya not match blood types, there will be danger. Danger was a menggumpalnya red blood cells. Process called agglutination by lectin which causes the emergence of many health complaints.
Related to this issue, Dr. D’Adamo doing research by checking each type of blood reactions to certain foods. Based on this research, he made a list of any foods that match each type of blood. In fact, other than blood type, food is still classified as well based on race. Because, according to him, the blood type of each race is different. This is a result of differences in the environment they occupy.
The results, listed by Dr. D’Adamo 16 food categories. Consists of: meat and poultry, seafood, milk and eggs, oils and fats, nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, cereals, bread and a variety of cakes, cereals and pasta, vegetables, fruits ; juice and all kinds of liquids, spices and seasonings, teas, herbal teas, and assorted food minuman.Makanan-is still included in the group is very good, neutral, or should be avoided according to blood type. Very good class can mean that food is working like a drug. Neutral faction means the food is working as a small effect on the body. Group mean food avoided acting like a poison to the body.
Weaknesses: John McMahon, ND, a naturopatis of Wilton Connecticut, USA, stating that the theory of this diet still must be investigated further. It is said that the research of Dr. John. D’Adamo on the influence of lectin on the food run out of the body, that is only done in a test tube. In fact, should be investigated in the body. Moreover, the effects of food already cooked lectin also has not been proven. Indeed, Dr. D’Adamo tested uncooked foods. But does not the food is usually cooked diasup?
Attitude and the same statement also disclosed John Foreyt, Ph.D., a scientist from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, USA. “Although this theory has long been discussed and investigated, no conclusions drawn. There is no relation between blood types and certain diseases. This is a stepping conclusions still need to be researched further,” says Andrea Wiley, Ph.D., professor of anthropology from James Madison University in Harrisonburg. Even Dr. Samuel Oetoro, MS., A nutritionist from Nutrifit Clinic in Jakarta, adding that research done Dr. D’Adamo did not meet the standards of scientific research. The proposed theory, based only on empirical evidence or experience that people run. “Obviously that’s not enough,” he said.
