Blood Type AB Diet: The Doctor’s Approved
If you have Blood Type AB and would like to reduce your likelihood of stomach cancer, kidney disease, Celiac disease and schizophrenia by eating foods according to your blood type, then keep reading because I have the list of foods you must eat and avoid to achieve your best health.
In my article The Blood Types Explained, I discussed how each blood type was created throughout history based on the book Eat Right 4 (for) Your Type by Dr. Peter D’Adamo.
For Blood Type AB, I explained that it is similar to the diet that our doctors tell us to eat when they find out that we are pre-diabetic, overweight or recovering from a disease: light on the meat and heavy on the veggies. Sadly, most of their patients won’t do well on that diet for the long term because it’s meant for Blood Type ABs and there’s less than 10% of them in the population of the whole world!
Eating for our OWN blood type is the best way to recover from any disease and to prevent new diseases coming our way, simply because it allows our bodies to be at rest and in peace for a majority of the time.
Dr. D’Adamo noted that AB stands for modern, since this blood type is the most recent to have evolved on earth. It’s a result of the mating of Type As and Type Bs. And since the Type A and Type B gene alleles are both dominant, they meshed together as AB. Subsequently, Blood Type AB has characteristics of both blood types.
Since everything we eat creates a chemical reaction with our blood whether good or bad, it’s best to eat foods that our individual blood type genes find favorable. This means that our lectins (yes as the human organisms we have lectins) like those foods and will not signal the immune system to target it as a foreign invader and destroy it.
With that said, there are still certain foods that Blood Type ABs should not eat. When they eliminate these foods, their health improves.
Below are lists of popular foods for Blood Type AB. As Dr. D’Adamo does in his book, Eat Right 4 (for) Your Type, I will categorize the foods into Highly Beneficial, Neutral and Avoid.
