Diet and exercise according to blood type: Practical or ridiculous?

Applying Dr. D'Adamo's blood type diet, after giving birth, Victoria's Secret angel Elyse Taylor immediately regained her hot figure...

The impact of blood type on metabolic efficiency and sports performance

Each of us has a blood type determined by antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which have distinct genetic characteristics. The truth is that blood type has a significant impact on the effectiveness of sports training as well as the body's metabolism.

Blood type affects sports training efficiency as well as metabolism in the body.

That is why, when it was released, Peter D'Adamo's book "Eat Right for Your Type" attracted a lot of public attention and caused a lot of controversy.

According to Peter D'Adamo, chemically speaking, if people eat foods that are compatible with their blood type, their bodies will react accordingly and improve their entire digestive system. His research recommends the following diet and exercise regimens for each blood type:

Blood type O: Should eat appropriate amounts of chicken, turkey, lean beef, lamb, fish, seafood and salt to reduce iodine levels, allowing optimal thyroid function. Suitable for high-intensity exercises (produces endorphins - natural painkillers), helps the body to be excited, lose weight, burn fat...

Blood type AB: Should eat mainly vegetables, seafood, turkey; eat less red meat. Suitable for many types of exercise, from gentle, flexibility training like Yoga, deep breathing to heavy exercises.

Suitable for high intensity exercises, helps the body get excited, lose weight, burn fat...

Blood Type A: Interestingly, blood type A is better able to digest food and grains than the other three groups. Therefore, berries, plums, apples, pears, avocados, peaches, cereals… are for you. Limit red meat, poultry and fish. If you exercise at high intensity, people with blood type A are prone to muscle tension. It is best to “share the same sky” with Yoga or Meditation.

Blood type B: Should eat meat, fish, green leafy vegetables, fruits: bananas, grapes, plums, pineapples, dairy products; eat less cereals; avoid corn, buckwheat, rye and wheat. Due to its balanced nature, blood type B is "gifted" with the ability to quickly adapt to heavy exercises such as weightlifting, gymnastics...

Practical or ridiculous?

In fact, the blonde angel Elyse Taylor of the famous lingerie brand Victoria's Secret once applied the blood type diet based on the book "Eat Right for Your Type". She and her personal trainer regularly exercised 4-5 times/week. Therefore, right after giving birth, Elyse Taylor quickly lost 25kg and continued to "knock out" fans with her slim waist, toned abs, and hot body...

Like the Australian supermodel, many people are happy to announce their physical and fitness successes. However, others – especially experts – are still quite reserved.

The reason is, blood types that are significantly restricted/cut down on major food groups may have limited absorption of essential nutrients and find it difficult to have strong health. Meanwhile, the group that eats too much meat is prone to increased risk of stroke, coronary heart disease and cancer. On the contrary, the group that avoids meat/needs to cut down on dairy faces the problem of anemia/osteoporosis.

In particular, the above regime is even more strongly opposed when applied to children. Parents are warned to always be cautious and sensitive to all developmental needs of their children. Applying a balanced, nutritious, healthy diet, as well as regular exercise is always the wisest choice for this early stage of children's lives.
