Читать книгу The Blood Type Diet Cookbook - Lucy Degremont - Страница 6

One of the most important aspects of health is the food we put in our bodies. Until recently, recommendations for food choices have mainly been based on the nutritional content of foods: how much of a particular vitamin or mineral does it contain, what is the fibre content, are the essential fatty acids unadulterated? Another trend has been to point an accusing finger at meat, whilst encouraging a greater consumption of grains. In my practice as a nutritionist, I have seen many type O patients for whom this type of macrobiotic diet has been a catastrophe. Relief was their understandable reaction on being told that not only was it okay for them to eat meat, but necessary if they wanted to be in good health. So should we be vegetarians or carnivores, follow the macrobiotic or paleolithic diet? What about the Mediterranean way of eating? However, the answer to the question of which diet suits us lies in who we are and not in what the diet is. What we eat interacts with each of us in a very particular way and that relationship is governed by our genetic makeup.

A food is not healthy or unhealthy per se. It interacts with us in a healthy or unhealthy manner. The work of Doctors James and Peter D’Adamo has enabled millions of people around the world to experience this. Peter D’Adamo has done a colossal job of furthering the findings of his father, Dr James D’Adamo: namely that your blood type (O, A, B or AB) is the key to what you should eat.
