Humans with a difference
Newton’s discovery of gravitation by watching an apple fall, it is evident that the gravitational pull is ubiquitous and it does not vary with the blood type of an individual. Contrary to the gravity’s equal devotion to all the living and non-living things on earth, blood the quintessential reason for one’s life bifurcates humans and enthrals different capacities on individuals. Every blood type releases the different set of enzymes in one’s body. Enzymes are the digestive juices which help in the proper breakdown and digestion of food intake. Water is basically known as the universal solvent but, we know that even water is unable to dissolve oil. Similarly, our body encompasses many vitamins and minerals. These vitamins and minerals are different in their composition. Hence, some are fat soluble and others are water soluble. The food we eat is completely our choice, but, our body has certain limitations and those are reflected when we intake the food which is difficult for our body to absorb. It is very important to understand our body type and restrict our diet to which, our body cheerfully accepts.
Understanding the difference
Are you trying to shed some extra kilos? Do you know your blood type? If no, please go and get it checked as soon as possible. The blood group you possess has a tonne to do with the diet and exercise you have been working on. You might have seen a lot of people for whom the weight loss journey is quite easy and simple, for them 30 minutes brisk walk 5 days a week works miracles whereas for you doing complex vigorous exercises for an hour or two, 7 days a week is also not working. By the end of the month, you feel so tired and bruised to the core that you start blaming it on the destiny and give up hope of acquiring that lean stature. Have you ever wondered where lies the difference? The difference is in the blood type. You might be eating only two whole wheat bread and thinking that even after depriving myself of the major portions of food I am unable to maintain a lean stature! Yes, this can be true if you are blood type O positive. This blood type is reluctant to lectin present in wheat and it works as a metabolic inhibitor. Sounds strange! Eh? Yes, it does, every time we were advised to stay away from rice and make wheat products our best friends. But for people with O blood type wheat is their greatest enemy though rice can be a better option and a blessing in disguise.
While on a diet we are often advised to consume lean meats, more of proteins and if this is adopted by an individual of blood type AB then due to their lower acidic stomachs, they are more likely to store it as fat, which is just opposite to what an O positive’s body will do. O positives have a highly acidic digestive environment hence, they can digest lean, red meat much more easily than other blood types.
People with A blood type had agrarian ancestors hence, they can fully and blindly trust the grains and stay away from meat which is juxtaposed of what is advised to O blood types.
If you are a blood type B and fond of tomato soup, then be alert! It is ill affecting you, tomatoes, wheat and lentils are slogging your metabolic rate. It is observed that after consuming these products B types experience fatigue, hypoglycaemia. Chicken, though a lean meat is a big No for B types, it acts as a catalyst for autoimmune disorders.
Physical Activity
Every blood type has a different level of activity tolerance and requirement. Blood type O who mainly depend on lean meats have to inculcate hunter’s regime to balance their stress levels. They require vigorous exercises like weight lifting, running, jogging to maintain stability.
Blood type A can depend on yoga and Tai Chi for maintaining the stress levels. They do not require vigorous workouts as are suggested for blood type O. Meditation can also serve as a boon for lowering the stress levels in blood type A.
Blood type B, their physical activity is not of a fixed sort. Every individual body had shown different requirements of the activity. Some exercise and meditation works wonders for blood type B.
Blood type AB falls between blood type A and blood type O in context to physical activity. Three days’ yoga and three days’ exercise can work for blood type AB. Though they have higher stress levels and resemble more to blood type O but AB needs to toil quite less in comparison to O.
From the above directions, I hope you might have got a glimpse of the reasons behind your fatigue, fat intolerance, bloating. If a proper diet is combined with proper physical activity any blood type can easily maintain a body fit, healthy and hearty. We just have to respond to our different needs.
