Νεαρή ξανθιά κοπέλα που κρατάει μία ζυγαριά

How many diets have you tried in the past?
We guess, many and possibly not (always) with the desired results. Before vacation season begins, you are trying to lose the weight you gained during quarantine! Have you ever thought the diets that you followed in the past maybe did not agree with organism because of your blood group?

There are several diet groups that depending on your blood group suggest different types of food. The blood group diet was created based on each person’s biochemical profile. It’s a unique diet corresponding each person’s uniqueness according to blood group that they belong.

Let’s talk about blood groups!

The blood is divided into different groups based the appearance of antibodies, which are proteins surrounding red blood cells membrane. Red blood cells have many antibodies. The most important are two antigenic systems, the ABO system and the Rhesus system. Based on that, the human blood groups have been made.
The ABO system shows the appearance or not of the A and B substances in the red blood cells.
These antigens:

  • Can coexist so the blood group is named AB
  • Only A exists so the blood group is named A
  • Only B exists so the blood group is named B
  • None of them exists, neither A nor B, so the blood group is called 0.

The philosophy of the diet based on the blood group
According to the person who made up this diet, the blood group defines the innate chemistry of our organism. Specifically, the blood group of a person shows his predisposition in diseases. This shows the person’s choice of a specific diet or exercise as there are food that improve health, but they are not the same for each blood group.

How does it work?
Each food contains specific protein and carbohydrate compounds, known as lectins. Lectins function with a similar way as antibodies do. Therefore, if we consume lectins that are not compatible with our blood group our organism recognises them as foreign substance and it tries to destroy them. Therefore, food that are not compatible with our blood group slow down our metabolism and cause problems on digestion.

Food is divided into two categories; the one that is compatible with our blood group and the one that is not.
