Hello my beautiful friends! I hope that you are all very well!
Have you ever heard of the Blood Type Nutrition?
In theory, knowing our blood type is an important tool for understanding how our body reacts to food, our susceptibility to disease, our natural reaction to stress, and so on.
The theory suggests that individuals of certain blood types may be at a higher risk for certain diseases; studies have found that people with blood type O have a lower risk for heart disease, but a higher risk for developing stomach ulcers. People who are blood type A have higher risks of microbial infections, but Type A women experience a higher rate of fertility. Other research has found that people with type AB and B blood have a much higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Type A people naturally have higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol in their bodies and produce more in response to stressful situations. On the other hand, people with type O blood, have a 'fight or flight' reaction to stress which results in the overproduction of adrenaline. It takes type O’s longer to recover from stress because it is more difficult for them to clear the adrenaline from their bodies.
People of different blood types have different gut bacteria, in fact, certain bacteria are 50,000 more likely to turn up in people with one blood type or the other. This originated from our ancestors whose digestive tracts developed to accommodate one type of diet over another. For example, the microbiome of certain people developed to break down carbohydrates much more efficiently (blood type A). People lacking this ability (blood type O) tend to store carbs as fat.
As a result, a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition does not work.
Are you familiar with this theory?
May I have your thoughts please?
Thank you all!
Have a great day
Regards
Josephine
