The Links between Your Blood Type and Your Personality, Diet and More Explained. Could blood type provide a key to wellness and even affect our personality?
Canadian naturopathic doctor James D'Adamo and his son Peter D'Adamo think so. In Japan extensive research on blood type and personality began more than 6.
Blood type can be a valuable clue for understanding your own uniqueness. Today, it is even more common to hear the Japanese ask your blood type than it is for Americans to ask your astrological sign. To most Japanese both biology and genetics have a role in determining personality.
Approximately 9. 0% know their blood type and for decades, blood typing has been used by: employers whenassessing job candidates, dating services for potential love matches and even companies for marketing soft drinks and other products. I seem to have a special relationship with Japan. I lived there from the ages of 1. I also studied with Lima Ohsawa, who founded Macrobiotics with her husband, George Ohsawa.
During my years of travel and study in Japan, I had an opportunity to learn first- hand the ways that the Japanese used blood types and it immediately caught my attention - - especially because several years earlier I had also become fascinated with the work of Dr James D'Adamo. His theory focused on how blood type could indicate the foods and lifestyle choices most compatible for you. One man's food is another man's poison. After meeting Dr James D'Adamo and reading his book, I began to question everyone about their blood type in an attempt to verify if blood type diet indeed provided clues to our individual uniqueness. Twenty six years later, I am certain it does have merit and is worth our attention. In fact, when I began working with children with autism, I quickly saw that 8 out of 1. Please reflect on this theory yourself and see if you don't agree.

While there is not a lot of . Blood carries the nutrients of foods into our cells and clearly not all blood is exactly the same. While Dr. James D'Adamo's theories were based on patient observation, his son Peter D'Adamo has tried to use a more scientific approach on the activity of lectins (proteins found in food). Peter found that eating the wrong lectins for your blood type could cause weight gain, early aging and immune problems.

I credit much of the blood type information presented in The Body Ecology Diet to both James D'Adamo and Pete D'Adamo's research, but because of my own observations with blood type and my fortunate exposure to the Japanese theory on personality and blood type - and as you will see in more detail in The Body Ecology Diet book - - I do not always agree with these two brilliant and creative men. Blood Type and Personality. There are four blood types: O, A, AB and B, with blood type A being the most common where so much research on blood types have been focused - - in Japan. In fact, 7. 4% of the Japanese are blood type A. I find it interesting that the Japanese diet very much favors those with blood type A. Fish is an important protein for B's and the Japanese consume more fish that any country in the world.

Lamb, an important protein for B's, is not available there. Here are some examples of blood type and personality, based on James and Peter D'Adamo's work: Blood Type A - Tend to be cooperative, sensitive, clever, passionate and smart. Often bottling up anxiety in order to get along with others, they may hold in their emotions until they explode. Many are tense, impatient and unable to sleep well. While they are capable of leadership positions, they may not take them because the stress is not good for their tightly wired systems.
They have roles in discovering more about and refining science, economics, manufacturing, etc. Their research on microflora and other areas of medicine is some of the best and most meticulous in the world. They are perfectionists to say the least. This quality shows up in their perfecting electronics like TV's and also less expensive more efficient cars that were originally created here in the US.
Too much stress weakens their immunity more quickly than other blood types. Low stomach acid is common among blood type A's even from birth, so special care should be taken when eating animal proteins. Using digestive enzymes, like Assist Dairy and Protein, along with consuming fermented foods and drinks is really a must for A's. It is not surprising to me that fermented foods like Miso and Natto play an important role in providing easily digested protein, in the Japanese Diet. They also eat raw fish which is much easier to digest than cooked.
Blood Type B - Blood type B individuals tend to be balanced: thoughtful like A's and yet ambitious like O's. They are empathetic, easily understanding others' points of view, yet often hesitating to challenge or confront.
Chameleon- like and flexible, they make good friends. Peter D'Adamo found that While their immunity is strong, they are more prone to slow- growing viral infections like lupus, MS and chronic fatigue. They may also have problems with hypoglycemia and blood sugar, especially if they eat the wrong foods. Blood Type AB - Tend to be very charming and popular. They don't sweat the small stuff and can be seen as spiritual and even at times a bit . Only about 2 - 5% of the population are blood type AB.

There is never a dull moment in a AB's life, so if you find one for a friend, consider yourself lucky! Youll enjoy some exciting times together! They are stronger and more active than type A's, but need to pay attention to stress levels so that they don't compromise their immunity.
A healthy diet can help you keep your type 2 diabetes in check. WebMD tells you about seven types of foods to help control blood sugar, spare you from boredom, and.

Sometimes it is difficult to be an AB. AB's don't like to fit in anyone else's . If they feel too confined, they'll break out of that box and do things their own way. When it comes to food choices and AB must discover when they are more B- like or A- like. For example, dairy foods like milk kefir can be excellent for them or not good at all. Blood Type O - Tend to be loners or leaders and are intuitive, focused, self- reliant and daring. They handle stress better than other blood types and have strong immune systems, a well developed physique and a physically active nature.
Blood type O's tend to have sluggish blood flow and feel better with vigorous exercise for about an hour each day. Obviously many other factors influence your personality. I think you will find like me that these blood type theories are quite fascinating. Do your own subjective research and see if you agree or disagree. To find out more about blood types, including what foods to eat and avoid and ideal exercise, be sure to read The Body Ecology Diet. In 1. 99. 4, I began writing about blood type and diet in the 1st edition of The Body Ecology Diet.
When Peter D'Adamo's book, Eat Right For Your Type came out in 1. Based on our years of working with clients to create a system of health and healing, I feel that the Body Ecology system expands upon Peter's work and goes further toward helping you know and care for your body. Experiment and Be Your Own Guide. While Body Ecology believes that the blood type theory can provide clues to your diet and health, this is atheory so therefore, still in development. The Body Ecology Diet offers a series of guidelines about your blood type so that you can safely experiment. Hopefully you know your blood type - - if not its worth finding out (via your doctor, for example). Keeping in mind the Body Ecology Principle of Uniqueness, blood type may be a way to modify Body Ecology guidelines for your own unique situation.

Foods that Control Blood Sugar. When you have type 2 diabetes, what you eat can help you control your blood sugar, stave off hunger, and feel full longer. You want to eat enough so you feel satisfied and avoid overeating and poor choices.
Here are seven foods that Powers says can help keep your blood sugar in check and make you happy and healthy to boot. Raw, Cooked, or Roasted Vegetables. These add color, flavor, and texture to a meal. Choose tasty, low- carb veggies, like mushrooms, onions, eggplant, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, and low- carb squashes, like zucchini.
Try them with dips such as low- fat dressings, hummus, guacamole, and salsa, or roasted with different seasonings such as rosemary, cayenne pepper, or garlic. Greens. Go beyond your regular salad and try kale, spinach, and chard. You can also mix greens in with roasted veggies to add texture and a different flavor, or serve them with a little protein, like salmon. Flavorful, Low- calorie Drinks. Plain water is always good, but water infused with fruits and vegetables is more interesting. Cut up a lemon or cucumber and put it in your water, or make ice cubes with some flavoring in them.
If you. Melon or Berries Did you know that 1 cup of either of these has just 1. Whole- grain, Higher- fiber Foods.
Fill up on these to keep from overeating or choosing the wrong foods. Try legumes like dried beans, peas, and lentils. You can even enjoy a black bean and corn salsa with your raw vegetables.
A Little Fat Good fat choices include olive oil, avocado, and fatty fishes - - think salmon served on of a bed of lettuce, for example. Bonus: The fat from the fish serves as a dressing for the salad, Powers says. Protein. Powers recommends Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, and lean meats.
An organ like the liver thatis so intimately involved with other important organs will exhibit symptoms that mimic disease in these other organs. Also, what initially might appear as a diseased liver is in reality a disease elsewhere in thebody that is involved with the liver secondarily. This is why it is crucial to follow a thorough and methodical approach called the diagnostic process. Examination. Specifically noting signs which may indicate liver disease. Periodic ascites, intolerance of a high protein diet, icterus, chronic weight loss, abnormally colored feces or urine, bleeding disorders, chronic illness, and all that has been mentioned above. Sometimes urinary crystals formed from the improperly metabolized proteins and amino acids may indicate liver disease. Liver disease can occur in pets of any age.
If it occurs in young animals we tend to think more of toxicity, a liver shunt or a viral disease like adenovirus in dogs. In older pets we tend to think more of inflammation and cancer as the cause of the liver problem. Several canine breeds are prone to getting liver disease: Bedlington terriers, Skye terriers, Doberman pinschers, and West Highland White terriers get aproblem with excessive copper accumulation that results from failure of normal biliary excretion of copper. Cocker spaniels have an increased incidence of chronic hepatitis.
History. Early signs of liver disease are subtle, and might exhibit as some of the symptoms described above. It is important to remember that some pets do not show any symptoms early in the course of the disease. This is another reason for yearly exams, along with blood and urine samples in dogs and cats 8 years of age or more. Even though many cancers do not show up in a blood sample, we can sometimes get indirect evidence there is a problem, leading to additional diagnostic tests that might find cancer. The recent use of pesticides, insecticides, and drugs might give us a clue. Some Labradors are sensitive to the use of the arthritis medicine Rimadyl.
These dogs should have a blood panel analyzed prior to initiating Rimadyl therapy. Every 6 months this panel should be repeated. A history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus might also clue us in to liver problems. Pets withliver shunts might have stunted growth and become depressed right after eating. Physical Exam. Routine physical exam findings might include: Distended abdomen due to enlargement of the liver (hepatomegaly) might be found. This can be palpated in some situations, especially in the smaller animals.
This includes heart disease and Cushing’s Disease. Enlarged lymph nodes due to secondary bacterial infections or spread of a primary or metastaticliver tumor.
Bruising (hematoma) might be observed under the skin, or when a blood sample is obtained. This isdue to the liver’s affects on the clotting mechanism. Fever- a rectal temperature of greater than 1. F could accompany liver disease when inflammation or infection is present. Skin infections and wounds that do not heal, or recur after antibiotics are stopped.
Yellowish discoloration (icterus or jaundice) of the ears, gums, or hairless areas of the skin. Anemia might be observed by checking the mucous membranes for a normal pink color. Extensive Blood Work and Diagnostic Testing. A complete blood count to check for anemia and blood cell abnormalities. A CBC (complete bloodcount) and BCP (biochemistry panel) should be run on every pet 8 years of age or more, especially if they have any of the symptoms of liver disease.
The CBC might show a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBC’s). This decrease in RBC’s is called anemia. The white blood cell count (WBC) might be elevated (leukocytosis), normal, or decreased (leukopenia), mostly depending on the cause of the liver problem and how long it has been present. A change in the WBC’s does not necessarily indicate there is a liver problem. A complete chemistry screen, including ALT, ALP, AST, bilirubin, glucose, urea, electrolyte levels,albumin, globulin and bile acid levels. The bile acid levels should be checked on an empty stomach and two hours after feeding.
All these values, with the exception of the bile acids, usually are included ona standard Small Animal Data Base Screen. Important Liver Enzymes. Traditionally the medical practitioner has measured the relative concentration of several enzymes which may indicate alterations in liver health. The following enzymes typically change values in the face of liver failure. Alanine Aminotransferase: ALT – Liver specific. Cell damage will cause elevations of ALT due to leakage. The elevation of the enzyme correlates with the number of cells damaged.
Falling levels of ALT may indicate recovery or may indicate a failing number of functional liver cells. Rapid increases in ALT may indicate an acute process, while slow increases may indicate bile duct obstruction. Normal Test Range: 1. U/L*Aspartate Aminotransferase: AST - an enzyme seen in the liver, heart, kidney, skeletal muscle and brain.
The half life of the AST in the blood stream is much shorter than that of ALT, therefore the values of AST tend to drop more rapidly once liver function is resumed. AST elevations and ALT elevations should parallel each other in liver disease. Normal Test Range: 5- 5. U/L*Alkaline Phosphatase: ALKP/ALP – This enzyme is present in many tissues, therefore it not very specific in liver disease, but it appears very early in the progress of liver disease, therefore it is considered quite sensitive. ALP tends to be slightly more specific in the cat, but not quite as sensitive. A similar enzyme or isoenzyme is secreted as a result of high levels of cortisone, therefore an effort must be made to separate Cortisole induced ALP or CALP and normal ALP. Liver ALP is released from the liver when many anticonvulsant drugs are administered to the dog.
This must be taken into account when evaluating ALP levels. ALP levels typically are greatly elevated in the young, growing animal and therefore a veterinarian should not mistake any elevations as disease in a young animal.
Normal Test Range: 2. U/L*Gamma Glutamyltransferase: GGT – This enzyme is has its highest concentration in the kidneys and pancreas, but it is also found in the liver and other organs. The major proportion of GGT in the serum seems to come from the liver. Elevations of GGT in disease seem to stem from new synthesis rather than leakage, therefore the changes seen due to disease are not spectacular. Large elevations of GGT are more commonly associated with pancreatitis and bile duct obstruction. Bile Acids. These series of organic acids circulate almost entirely in the localized blood flow between the intestinesand the liver (a. The flow is typically from the liver, into the bile duct system, then excretion into the intestines to aid digestion after a meal, to be re- absorbed into the portal system and recycled by the liver.
Very little of the bile acids escape from the portal circulation system into the rest of the body. Leakage is considered abnormal and is a sure sign of a liver abnormality. This is one of the most sensitive tests available to diagnose liver disease. While the liver does actually manufacture this product, it has tremendous reserve capacity and can easily meet the bodies demand for bile acids despite severe disease.
As a result of this reserve, the bile acid levels do not typically drop due to liver disease. Normal Test Range: Pre = Less than 7. L, Post = Less than 1. L*A complete urine analysis. Check urobilinogen levels, bilirubin levels, glucose levels, protein levels. Again all this is usually on a standard urinalysis panel. Radiograph the abdomen.
X rays can show increased liver size, decreased liver size liver abscesses, abnormal mineralization , and circulatory abnormalities (using special dyes). Ultrasound the liver Perfect technique for visualizing the circulation of the liver, the bile duct system, the density of the liver tissue, the size of the liver. Ultrasound is highly beneficial in the diagnosis of liver disease. We recommend ultrasounding a liver when the liver enzymes tests are elevated over time, or the bile acids test is abnormal. The internal structure (called parenchyma) can be analyzed, and post- hepatic liver disease can be differentiated from hepatic liver disease. This can be very important because disease in the liver can often be diagnosed with a biopsy during the ultrasound. Post- hepatic liver disease cannot easily be diagnosed in this matter.
Instead it is diagnosed and treated with an exploratory surgery (called a laparotomy). Biopsy of the liver. While this is a surgical technique, it is the ultimate for diagnosis, since it allows us to directly examine and test liver tissue, give an absolute diagnosis and hopefully a final treatment regime. Biopsies can be taken by full laparotomy, where the surgeon actually looks at the liver and removes a small piece, or they can be done by a biopsy needle guided by ultrasound through the body wall.
The liver will regenerate any piece that has been removed, therefore liver biopsy is usually a low risk procedure in capable hands.*The ranges for the test results listed above are dependent on the lab, the testing done and are relative. Some specialist allow for a much larger range before they diagnose “true” Liver Disease.
After receiving your test results, please consult with an internal specialist and have them explain the results to you.

How to Eat Right for Your Blood Type. There’s a lot of knowledge to conquer in the realm of health and fitness. You might have figured out your metabolism and caloric intake but do you understand yourself as a biochemical individual? Renowned naturopathic physician Peter D’Adamo’s concept of the blood type diet puts a new spin on the way we approach a healthy lifestyle.
D’Adamo, a former physician of the year and accomplished professor, uses research from glycobiology, biochemistry, and several other physicians in his diet book Eat Right 4 Your Type to support the theory. Due to the blood type diet’s recency there hasn’t been many studies conducted to support D’Adamo’s theory.
But for every skeptic there is an enthusiastic fan impressed by D’Adamo’s enthusiasm and more than ten years of work put into the book. It also is a New York Times best seller with more than 7 million copies in print, so he must be doing something right. The Premise. So what exactly does this new diet entail? And what sets it apart from other “fad” diets?
D’Adamo’s theory is that each person responds differently to certain types of food according to their blood type. He asserts that Lectins, a carbohydrate- binding protein found in foods, cause different interactions in each blood type. If particular lectins interact with blood type related antigens it could have unfavorable effects on your health. The diet divides the food you should focus on and avoid into 1. The groups are essential foods for a healthy diet – milk, lean meat, beans, vegetables, etc. If not, you can ask your physician who may already have it on file, purchase a test kit, or donate blood at the nearest clinic. Here is D’Adamo’s broad classification for each type: Type O “The Hunter” – This is the oldest form of blood type according to D’Adamo.
It can be traced back more than 3. Type A “The Agrarian” – D’Adamo believes this type began with the development of agriculture around 2. Because of this the diet focuses mostly on vegetation. Type B “The Nomad” – Estimates put the dawn of this type at around 1. They have a versatile digestive system and handle dairy products considerably well compared to other types. Type AB “The Enigma” – This is by far the most recent type at about 1. As the letters suggest the diet requirements for this type lie between those of types A and B.
Foods for Each Type. Type OSafe to Eat: If you’re a meat lover and type O, then you’re pretty much set for life.
This diet focuses on protein sources like red meat, seafood, and poultry like chicken and turkey. Some vegetables that are acceptable for this type are kelp, spinach, kale and broccoli. Stay Away From: Type Os should gravitate away from wheat and grains in their diet. Legumes like peas, beans, peanuts, and lentils should be avoided.
They also might have digestive issues with dairy and egg products. For more information read my article: Blood Type O Diet – What to Eat and What to Avoid. Type ASafe to Eat: The type A’s effective digestive enzymes make it the ideal choice type for vegetables and grains. Focus on healthy whole grain sources of bread and pasta and avoid simple grains. Fruits like apples, nectarines, berries, avocados, and figs are good choices. For vegetables your spectrum is hardly limited but you should look for plant protein from sources like soy and nuts. Stay Away From: A lot of A types don’t like to hear that their meat protein consumption needs to be strictly limited.
Most types of bird, fish, beef, and pork don’t sit well with the limited meat digesting enzymes. Dairy products and kidney beans should also be avoided. Type BSafe to Eat: The B type is considered a balanced omnivore with the easiest dietary maintenance. For meats you should focus on red meat, turkey, and fish.
Grains, green vegetables, and fruits are friendly additions with a few exceptions listed below. Stay Away From: Corn, lentils, and seeds of any sort should be avoided. For meat you should avoid chicken. It’s also advised that you steer clear of buckwheat and peanuts if you fall under this type. Type ABSafe to Eat: Borrowing from two other types, an AB type should focus primarily on vegetables, fish, and turkey.
Seafood, tofu, beans, and legumes are great protein sources. Fruits like watermelon, figs, apples, and bananas are acceptable. Stay Away From: Red meat should be avoided when possible because ABs borrow type A’s level of stomach acid. Like type Bs you should steer clear of buckwheat and corn. ABs are also vulnerable to excessive levels of alcohol and caffeine.
Benefits of the Blood Type Diet. As mentioned earlier, the effects of this developing diet are still under rigorous study for definite results.
One study did prove that the people on the diet did experience significantly healthy levels of cholesterol. Millions of others that have tried the diet claim it is one of the most effective weight loss techniques they’ve tried. What most people need when it comes to dietary changes for weight loss is discipline. They need concrete details on food intake and exercise guidelines. The cookbooks and guides written by D’Adamo for each type are comprehensive guides that leave little room for you to cheat yourself from success. The foods in the diet are all healthy when consumed in proper amounts.
Any food with little to no nutritional benefit is omitted from the guidelines. Because of this you are bound to experience health benefits if you can commit to the dietary change.
You’ll feel more energetic, build a healthier future, and improve your physique and well- being. Potential Problems. The biggest problem people have run into while trying the blood type diet was the restrictive guidelines for each blood type.
Someone that is used to eating steak everyday generally doesn’t want to turn into an herbivore because they’re a type A. If you’re personal tastes coincide with the restricted foods, you might have trouble adjusting to the diet. The strict guidelines also may deprive you of essential nutrition. A person that has to cut back on dairy might have to search for a way to get sufficient calcium. People that have to cut meat consumption might lack the proper amount of protein to maintain muscle. Before deciding to try this diet consider whether or not you’re ready to commit. It will take hard work, patience, persistence, and make your grocery list a bit more specific and expensive.
That being said it is also a huge trend that shows exciting promise when it comes to naturally enhancing your health. If you have tried this diet, share your experience with the readers. How did it affect you? Have you noticed any changes? We would love to hear your story. If you have blood type O, read my article about the best and worst foods for blood type O.
