what food if increased can actually prove beneficial?
This diet is based on blood group of the person, he is

Group O, Universal
donor
Blood group O was the hunter or the earliest of humans who
was able to fashion weapons and use it for food. From Africa, they migrated to
parts of Europe, India and Pakistan. So, even today their body is attuned to
eating more meat as is their digestive system. Therefore, blood group O is
recommended a high protein, low – carbohydrate diet. This includes plenty of
meat and fish. They should abstain from dairy products, cereals and grains.
They allowed list of food encompasses olive oil, eggs, nuts, vegetables and
fruits in small measures. There is a definitive no-no to dairy products,
grains, cereals, rice, bread and wheat. A high energy exercising regime should
be followed running, aerobics, vigorous stretches. This helps in shaping up the
body. Although the high protein – low carb diet is a popular diet programmed and
not necessarily inspired by the blood type diet.
Group A
Blood group A is evolved from the group of hunters when they
learnt how to farm and become agrarians. The livestock and agriculture
practices changed the habits of the people. Climatic conditions resulted in
lighter skin along with the need of assimilate vitamin D with the help of
sunlight. Their capacity to digest huge amounts of meat was lost. Hence for
Blood Group A, the predominant food for this type of blood group should have
preponderance with vegetarian diet. Their food should be rich in grains,
vegetables little of meat and diary products. Nuts, seeds, grains, bread, rice,
wheat, cereals with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits thrown in. Exercise
therefore, is more towards going back to nature… yes Yoga, meditation which
further aids the body towards a healthier status.
Group B
A set of people gave up secured farming lives and moved in
search of newer lands, becoming wanderers or nomads. Thus they came in contact
with various kinds of food, which their body assimilated with ease, thus
evolved group B, and ideal blood group, which almost have no restriction on
food. A person with this blood group can literally eat anything. Although, processed food and rich
carbohydrate is a restriction. The exercise regimen combines the physical and
mental like physically exerting games and hiking.
Group AB
This blood group benefits a modern day person, where
lifestyle is the mix of the agrarian and nomadic lives. Hence for blood group
AB, a rare one, the prescription is an amalgamation of food that is recommended
for both Blood Groups A and B. Meaning a more pro – vegetarian diet with some
amounts of meat, fish and diary products. Exercise should be a, mix of cleaning
and energetic pursuits.
