Better? Yes, I would feel less bloated. My nose would also stay clear instead of mucousy. The back of my throat would not itch. There is a general sense of well-being when I follow the blood type diet.
Here is a quick introduction:
There are connections among blood type, food, and disease. Find an individualized plan that's right for your blood type.
In Eat Right 4 Your Type, see which foods, spices, teas, and condiments help someone of your blood type maintain optimal health and ideal weight; which vitamins and supplements to emphasize or avoid; which medications function best in your system; whether your stress goes to your muscles or your nervous system; whether your stress is relieved better through aerobics or meditation; whether you should walk, swim or play tennis or golf as your mode of exercise; how knowing your blood type can help you avoid many common viruses and infections; how knowing your blood type can help you fight back against life-threatening diseases; and how to slow down the aging process by avoiding factors specific to your blood type that cause rapid cell deterioration.

a Happy and Healthy New Year!
Hi AK,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Your first post of 2013 - setting a healthy trend for the year.
I am sceptical about these claims but I guess the placebo/ psychological effect cannot be discounted. The supposed effects seem similar to chinese medicine which classify food into various categories such as heaty, cooling, yin and yang balances etc.
Well ultimately a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, low salt and oil etc should be something everyone can work towards to.
Best wishes,
Eugene
Hi Eugene,
ReplyDeleteOh, I was quite sceptical too. I very much ate whatever I liked before. Ok, I still do it but less so. ;p
Indeed, I think there could be some psychological benefits to this but we should listen to our body. For what it is worth, I do feel better when I follow the blood type diet. Haha.. I guess that is what counts.
As for fruits and vegetables, not all are good for all blood types. It is quite an interesting read.
Happy New Year! :)
Hi AK,
ReplyDeleteI've read the book and found that the foods that I shld avoid according to my blood type are the ones that actually cause my eczema to flare up(its about 90% accurate for me.) My skin is a lot better when I follow the diet than when I do not.(i occasionally indulge...)So I think there is some truth to it.
That being said, the diet is torture for me as I am type A and cannot eat my favourite stuff like pork(Kuay Chap!!!) and beef and cheese(Pizza!!)...haha.

Hi Jeremy,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about it being a torture.
I am type B and if I were to follow the diet strictly, I should not be eating food made from wheat but I like bread, mee pok and pasta!
I should also avoid tomato but I love salsa!
I should also avoid corn but I like corn chips!
How to eat salsa without corn chips? Hahahaha... ;p
