Are You Eating Right for Your Blood Type?

By Dori Cranmore RN

Are you looking for a way to lose a few pounds and also make your body healthy? Your blood type is your genetic blueprint. It can be the key that unlocks the mysteries of disease, health, herbal programs and emotional strength. It also determines your susceptibility to illness, indicates which foods you should eat, and provides ways to avoid health problems.

What is “Eating right for your blood type”? It means following the guidelines outlined in Dr. Peter D’Adamo’s book, Eat Right 4/For Your Blood Type. The book explains the history behind all blood types, the unique differences, including the strengths, weaknesses, medical risks, and emotions of each blood type, and also how food actually affects our blood.

Many of our customers tell us they notice major health differences by making the changes outlined in his book.

First, you need to know your blood type. You can learn what your blood type is by giving blood at your local Blood Bank, by asking your doctor, checking a military ID card or you can purchase a blood kit (sold at All About Herbs) that will tell you your blood type in about 5 minutes and is patented by the FDA.

We recommend people try to follow the guidelines for a few months, and then make modifications as their bodies give them feedback. You too can be pleasantly surprised with the results as many others have found.
