That each person has their own blood type, there are exactly four, each group has both positive and negative, heard it all. But not everyone knows that may depend on the immune system, susceptibility to specific diseases, the digestive tract, that is our youthful appearance and slender silhouette.
For the first time the relationship between the composition of the blood and nutrition have established a doctor from America Peter D'adamo. Watching the patients, he noticed the beneficial or harmful effects on health and metabolism of various products for people with different blood. And figured to link it to the human condition in the process of evolution. Initially blood was one all the first. And the food of ancient people did not expect much diversity.
There is logic in this, but the evidence scientific basis of this diet is not. However, it is a fairly balanced diet and can stick to on a long-term basis.
Primitive hunters ate mostly meat, their body didn't know other foods (milk, cereals) were adapted to digest is meat. Later came the farmers, herders, whose diet was very different. Consistently appeared second, third, fourth groups. For native speakers of each optimum was a different diet (vegetable, milk).
According to the theory of Dr. D'adamo modern people with a certain composition of the blood the correct way to eat food is relevant to the ancestors at the time of occurrence of this group. In the result, the same products have been divided into beneficial, harmful or neutral for the representatives of different groups. Read more about them below, but for now consider the advantages or disadvantages of the proposed approach to nutrition. For a diet in the classical sense of a belief system of Dr. D'adamo difficult to call.
Contraindications
We hasten to please — there are practically no contraindications! Except individual intolerance of certain foods. But they can always be replaced — the choice is wide. In many "hard" diets list of substitutes is much shorter.
In some diseases, eating certain foods (recommended) may harm, and not conducive to recovery the absence of other (bad for you) nutrient. For example, in hypertension or heart disease should limit the amount of meat, even people of 1 group, where meat — based diet. On the contrary, in the case of anemia or protein deficiency meat cannot be ruled out, even if you recommended a dairy or vegetarian food.
In addition, with age, the human condition changes. For example, developing osteoporosis, in which calcium is necessary. So even the "meat meals" should not be inferred from a menu of dairy meals. Hence the conclusion — in diseases, age-related changes following any diet only after consulting a doctor! Especially important with kidney diseases, liver (in this case it is better to follow the specific power supply system), diabetes, coronary artery disease.
There is also no data about the use of any diet for children and adolescents. In fairness it should be noted that for representatives of each group recommended a set of well-known useful dietary products.
Diet 1 blood group (I)
I (or according to the international classification) according to the theory of Dr. D'adamo belonged to the hunters, the first people on Earth. It was formed about 30 thousand years ago. The basis of the diet of hunters served meat. It is assumed that the remaining came from the first as a result of natural selection. These days the has about one third of the population.

The advantages and disadvantages of diet
The main drawback of this diet is its unsuitability for quick weight loss. Want to lose weight in a month or three is better to choose another diet. This system is designed for long-term (preferably lifetime) use and carries the body's health, strengthen the immune system, normalize digestion, and have as a result — weight loss.
Another argument critics of this approach to nutrition — the lack of serious scientific research. Nevertheless, diet has a sufficient number of fans around the world, and the number of positive reviews about it all growing.
