Diet according to blood type

Diet is based on the principles of naturopathic doctor James D'Adamo, who states that blood type and human nutrition are closely linked. The blood type diet is based on the postulate that the composition of the blood changes during the evolution of mankind and is closely related to the type of food consumed by the vast majority of the population at a given time.

Although there is a certain logic to this statement, there is no scientific basis for any nutrition based on blood type. The following table provides some ideas on the suitability of foods for people of different blood groups.

Diet for 1 blood group

The diet for 1 positive blood group is mainly based on the inclusion in the diet of products containing animal proteins.
