At the end of the 20th century, scientists identified 4 types of blood. Their study is still ongoing. A bit later, a blood group-dependent diet was developed. Tables with recommended foods have been interesting for diet lovers. The bottom line is that the effect of food on the body depends on the blood group, on the genetic predisposition of the body.
Distinctive features of blood nutrition
American naturopath Peter D'Adamo was the first to develop a diet that was tailored to the blood group. A table with the products recommended for use allows you to normalize the metabolism and cope with the problem of modern mankind - obesity.
The theory is based on the assertion that the blood group determines the similarities and differences between people. The predisposition to diseases depends on this. Nutrients have different effects on people with different blood types. Lecithins in the blood may not take some food, which will affect the work of the whole body. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully select food by blood group. The table of products allowed for consumption should be studied by supporters of this diet. According to the theory, there are products that do good, harm the body, or are neutral.
Basic principles of nutrition by blood group:
- The division of people into 4 types according to the number of blood groups - 1 (O), 2 (A), 3 (B), 4 (AB).
- Each type should receive certain foods that are genetically appropriate. Prohibited foods should be excluded, they cause various diseases. Neutral foods should be consumed in small quantities.
- Carriers of different blood groups should exercise according to their individual characteristics. For example, carriers of the first blood group should perform regular strength training, the second - calm, moderate loads.
- The intake of additional vitamins and minerals also depends on the blood group.
Group 1 diet basics
Blood type number 1 is considered the oldest. Its owners are descendants of primitive man. The first blood group is the most common and accounts for about 30% of all types of blood.
Carriers of 0 blood are called "hunters", having the following characteristics of the body:
- powerful digestive system;
- strong active immunity;
- difficult adaptation to new conditions and nutrition;
- the appearance of an allergic reaction;
- increased likelihood of bleeding disorders;
- frequent inflammatory processes;
- high acidity of the stomach.
The food table for 1 blood group includes high protein products. An ancient man led an active lifestyle and meat was required to maintain strength. Physical activity is required for a person using the basics of nutrition in the first blood group. The table shows the main types of sports.
Blood type | Recommended Activities | Contraindications |
one | skates run Athletics bicycle rollers strength exercises swimming | yoga Pilates gymnastics |
Recommendations for the owners of 1 blood group
According to adherents of nutrition by blood group, owners of group 1 should follow the recommendations in choosing food:
- Include meat in the diet. Prepare meat dishes daily or several times a week without abusing large portions. The average amount is 100 grams. This product is required for proper metabolism. The greatest benefit will be cooked or juicy steak with blood. If eating meat with blood is unacceptable, then you should give preference to the type of cooking that seems most optimal. Before cooking, you can marinate the meat in lemon juice and spices to taste.
- There are sea fish. If a person has 1 group, then animal protein is needed daily. The fat of sea fish has an anti-inflammatory effect, which positively affects the pathogenic processes of the owners of the 1st blood group and supports the thyroid gland.
- Refuse dairy products. According to the theory of nutrition, animals were tamed later. Milk causes poor health and digestive problems.
- Exclude flour products and cereals. Wheat is the most undesirable product for people who have the first blood group. Digestion problems are caused by all foods containing flour, kurpa, bran and oatmeal.
- Refuse legumes. Beans and peas are an excellent source of vegetable protein, but not for "hunters." They should get building protein exclusively from animal products. Plants will not benefit.
- As a snack, nuts and dried fruits should be preferred. thanks to them, the deficiency of vitamins and minerals is filled.
- Instead of coffee and black tea, drink green, it reduces the acidity of gastric juice, without reducing the number of enzymes.

Additionally, you can use nutritional supplements that increase the nutritional value of the diet. Ginger is an antioxidant and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Cloves fight against fungal infections.

The next group appeared during the period of settlement of new lands and resettlement of people. The needs of people have changed, they began to move, move. The carriers of group B are called "wanderers" or "nomads." Their number is not more than 20% of the total population of the planet.
In the food table for blood groups, the ingredients are selected taking into account the characteristics of the carriers:
- powerful immunity;
- adaptation to new conditions;
- perception of other nutrition;
- in the absence of changes in the diet, immunity to many diseases;
- the tendency to self-destruction by immunity with errors in nutrition.
The general resettlement of the "nomads" left an imprint on their food. They do not have certain addictions, the menu is varied. It includes protein foods, a variety of cereals, fruits and vegetables.
Moderate activity is required for a person using food for the 3rd blood group. The table is presented below.
Blood type | Recommended Activities | Contraindications |
3 | skates rollers bicycle swimming yoga | strength exercises |
Recommendations to group B
Group B blood carriers do not have a predisposition to digestive disorders. Indicators of gastric juice are normal. They metabolize protein and carbohydrate foods. The intestines have an alkaline environment above normal, which protects against rotting products when the digestion process fails.
But their body is imperfect. The abuse of protein foods, the unlimited consumption of foods leads to the accumulation of toxins in the intestines. Therefore, "nomads" must observe moderation in food, and the digestive process will return to normal.
Basic principles, according to the food table for the 3rd blood group:
- Eat meat products no more than 4 times a week. Give preference to medium and small portions of baked meat. Protein helps maintain energy throughout the day.
- Add substances with high enzyme activity. Parsley, lemon balm, ginger are great for digestion. Thanks to them, the production of gastric juice is enhanced and the peristalsis of the stomach is enhanced.
- Eat fermented milk products daily.
- Choose fish of fatty varieties. In addition to protein, fish saturates the body with polyunsaturated fatty acids, which reduce the risk of negative processes and improve metabolism.
Overweight in these people is rare, for this reason they are not inclined to follow a diet. Attitude to nutrition changes only after any disease or the negative consequences of eating plenty of food.

Recommendations for owners of 4 blood groups
When forming a nutrition table for 4 blood groups, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the body:
- Refuse chicken and red meat. Eating beef can be reduced, and not completely excluded from the diet. The enzymatic system of the owners of 4 groups does not allow to digest protein products completely. The absorption slows down, which disrupts the metabolism and causes the development of putrefactive bacteria.
- Fish is the main source of animal protein. You can eat sea or river. Sea fish saturates the body with healthy fats, is easily digested and does not cause intoxication of the body.
- Eat soy foods for vegetable protein.
- Refuse milk and cottage cheese. Replace with yogurt, kefir, hard cheese. You can add sour cream or butter. Sour-milk products can be consumed no more than 3 times a week. Refusing them is not at all worth it. They improve metabolism and increase intestinal motility. The proper functioning of the digestive system strengthens the immune system.
- Include foods rich in vitamin A. Broccoli and carrots help improve digestion and the production of enzymes.
Compliance with the basics of nutrition for 4 groups allows you to avoid digestive problems, improve metabolism, strengthens the protective properties of the body and normalizes the functioning of the nervous system.
