EAT RIGHT FOR

YOUR BLOOD TYPE

 Blood Type & Diet Linkage

• Certain foods, and food groups act like

poisons to certain blood types. What can
be a medicine for one person, can be a
poison for another. How is this possible?
Because of genetics.
• You were born with a basic blood type. O,
A, B, or AB. You got it from your parents
genes. Genes have a way of representing
a bit of genetic history.
 You are what you eat, but you
should "EAT WHAT YOU ARE.”
• This means each of us should eat the optimal
diet compatible with our blood type.
• For example, in the animal kingdom, instinct
is what drives animals to eat. Lions are meat
eaters. Conversely, other animals are
vegetarian, and by instinct, will not eat meat.
 You are what you eat, but you
should "EAT WHAT YOU ARE.”
• Have you ever noticed most animals of a given species all
live to about the same age? Well, this is because of their
uniform diets, driven by instinct, that allow them to have
life spans to the potential of their species or die of old
age.
• With humans it is just the opposite, the only exception
being the many people of blood Type Os who die of old
age. Humans almost always die from one disease or
another. As a result of our improper diets, our immune
systems fail to operate properly and we become
susceptible to one disease or another.
 
 LECTINS- The Diet
Connection

• A chemical reaction occurs between your blood and the

foods that you eat. This reaction is part of your genetic
inheritance. Your immune and digestive system still
maintain a favoritism for foods that your blood type
ancestors ate. This is because of a factor called lectins
• Lectins, abundant and diverse proteins found in foods,
have agglutinating properties that affect your blood.
 LECTINS- The Diet
Connection
• Lectins are a powerful way for organisms to attach themselves to other
organisms in nature. Lots of germs, and even our own immune systems,
used this superglue to their benefit. For example, cells in our liver’s bile
ducts have lectins on their surfaces to help them snatch up bacteria and
parasites. Bacteria and other microbes have lectins on their surfaces, as
well, which work rather like suction cups, so they can attach to the slippery
mucousal linings of the body. Often, the lectins used by viruses or bacteria
can be blood type specific, making them a stickier pest for a person of that
blood type.

So, too, with the lectins in food. When you eat a food containing protein
lectins that are incompatible with your blood type antigen, the lectins target
an organ or bodily system ( kidney, brain, stomach, etc.) and begin to
agglutinate blood cells in the area.

• Many food lectins have characteristics that are close enough to certain blood
type antigen to make it an enemy to another. For example, milk has B-like
qualities; if a person with Type A blood drinks it, their system will
immediately start the agglutination process in order to reject it.
 AGGLUTINATION
• Since Os have been blessed with such strong
stomach acid and respective enzymes, they are able
to metabolize almost everything, even those foods
not recommended for them and they still live longer.
However, the Bs, As and ABs do not have this
luxury, and accordingly, must be more careful in
their eating habits, or suffer the consequences.
• When we eat food not compatible with our blood
enzymes and stomach acid agglutination happens.
 
 AGGLUTINATION

If you eat a food not compatible with your blood

type and stomach enzymes, the food is not
broken down or digested properly, and the
vitamins and minerals are not absorbed into
your bloodstream to fuel and nourish your
body. Your body reacts to the food just as it
would any foreign substance.
 AGGLUTINATION
• What happens is that antibodies glue themselves to the
foreign invaders (improper food) and agglutination or
"gluing" takes place in your blood. Now if you happen
to be Blood Type A or AB, who already has thick
blood, your blood becomes even thicker.
• The thicker the blood, the slower it moves and the
harder your heart must pump to push the blood through
your arteries. This thick slow moving blood makes it
easier for plaque to build up on your artery walls.
Hence, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a
cornucopia of other illnesses.
 IMPROPER
METABOLISM
• The human body tries to handle everything you give
it, but sometimes it cannot, or will not. The damage
is greater or lesser, depending on how bad the food is
for you and your particular body chemistry. If you
are lucky, maybe this improper agglutination may
result only in weight gain. The body does not use the
food, so it just packs on extra pounds. You are not
eating much, but you're gaining weight and don't
know why. Well the answer is improper metabolism
of your food.
 EATING MEAT
• If you are Type A or AB and the meat you keep
eating is not metabolizing, your bloodstream is now
flooded with thick, sticky agglutinated blood, loaded
with saturated animal fat. As and ABs should not eat
meat, and if they do, they die younger.

• Now if O or B eat meat, their bodies metabolize it

better, and the agglutination process does not take
place, or if it does, it is very minor and not life
threatening.
 But Os & Bs can still
get sick like As & ABs

• So although Os and Bs are not particularly

susceptible to heart disease and most forms of
cancer, a continual regimen of saturated fat
and/or incompatible foods will eventually
produce the same result. It just appears the
harmful effects take much longer in Os and
Bs.
 Blood Type O- Original
Blood Type
• The original blood type diet of the Earth are the
"hunter-gatherers".
• Eat Meat (High Protein, Low Carbohydrates)
• Cut out Wheat and Most Other Grains
• Engage in Vigorous aerobic Exercise
• Your risk factors for ulcers and inflammatory
diseases such as arthritis increase if you eat
incorrectly for your type.
• Individuals with type O blood generally produce
higher stomach acids. This is typically the group
that experiences more incidence of gastric ulcer
disease than the other groups.
 Blood Type A- Agrarian
Blood TYpe
• A's appeared on Earth, between 25,000 and 15,000
B.C. years ago in response to new environmental
conditions....the advent of agriculture.
• You should be a vegetarian (High Carbohydrates,
Low Fat)
• Engage in gentle exercise such as yoga or golf.
• Meditate to deal with stress.
• Your risk factors for cancer, diabetes and heart
disease increase if you eat incorrectly.
• Blood group A is primarily associated with
vegetarian food sources and individuals in that
group secrete smaller amounts of stomach acid
 Blood Type B-
Balanced Blood Type
• Evolved sometime between 15,000 and 10,000 B.C.
and are a combination of A and O. This blood type
emerged as a result of the migration of the races
from the African homeland to Europe, Asia, and the
Americas and may of mutated due to climactic
changes. B's diet is a combination of A's and O's
• You should have the most varied diet of all the blood
types, including meat. This is the only blood type
that does well with dairy products.
• Engage in exercise such as moderate swimming or
walking.
• Your risk factors for slow-growing viruses that attack
the nervous system increases if you eat incorrectly.
 Blood Type AB–
Modern Blood Type
• Emerged only in the last 1,000 years as a result
of the intermingling of disparate groups such as
Type A Caucasians with Type B Mongolians.
Less than 5% of the Earth's population has this
blood type.
• You have most of the benefits and intolerances
of types A & B.
• Engage in calming exercises and relaxation
techniques.
• You have the friendliest immune system of all
the blood types.
• Also high risk for cancer, diabetes and heart diseases.

Most of what needs to take place to avoid disease, boost
immune function and maintain weight control - in short,
to achieve the best result for your body - is all based on
diet.

In fact, proper diet according to blood type, coupled with

at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week,
enables your immune system to be its strongest.
