Blood and nutrition

The last two years have appeared on the shelves of books that tell about the sensational discovery of American doctors, naturopaths. They are based on their research, they argue that the secret to a healthy life, full of strength, energy and vitality, is the selection of the diet according to blood group.

Christopher J.. Hammond offers more than 80 recipes by separate food for all blood groups, without excluding meat, fish, dairy products, but refined sugar, the body absorbs vitamins and minerals, advises replace honey, maple syrup or beet.

Some require as little as possible to eat meat products and bakery products (especially those containing yeast and soda).

Whom to believe? What food to eat to be healthy, energetic and joyful?

Vegetarians offer to give up meat, fish, milk, since the excess cholesterol in these foods is developing atherosclerosis.

Meat consumption in Finland, compared to 1960, per person increased by 90%, and the growth in consumption of pork is almost 3 times accompanied by the exponential growth of the consumption of poultry meat - 26 times. At the same time oil consumption has decreased by 46%. As a result, in Finland fell sharply death rates from cardiovascular disease, and indicators of the disease. This fact refutes the theoretical positions offered to us about the relationship between nutrition and blood groups.

We will not go into the history of the blood due to changes in social structure, as we have separated millions of years. However, there is reason to believe that during the evolution of man adapts to the environment, fighting for survival, he ate what was available to him according to his mental and physical development.

There are many reasons and circumstances on which the feed in accordance with the blood group is difficult, if not impossible. We have in mind the poor and people who are on duty have to eat that "they give." For example, the military.

We surveyed 400 soldiers, specially selected for 100 people each blood group, called up from the different republics of the CIS . All these are divided into three groups. The first group: Russian, Ukrainian; a second group of Central Asia, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Turkmens, Azeris; The third group - the inhabitants of the Caucasus: Georgians, Armenians and others.

All were given the same type of questionnaire.

The survey results indicate that regardless of blood group everyone loves meat food. The most commonly consumed meats residents of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Tellingly, all persons of the Islamic faith, the house never tried dishes made with pork meat and fat, 15-20 days of military service gladly ate soup and porridge same with beef and pork meat. House majority liked their national dish, usually lamb.

Russian, Ukrainians, Georgians, Armenians Christian faith ate any meat. Ukrainians, Russian love pork, lard, but also consume beef, chicken and rabbit, depending on the time of year. Pork is more often in the fall and spring, when the slaughter of pigs, chicken more often - in the autumn, when the chicks grow. Out of 400 people did not have any vegetarian.

All respondents like vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage; of melon - cantaloupe, watermelon; fruits, those who are accustomed to have a child, growing up where they were born and lived. Some like cherries, apricots, raspberries, others - cherries, plums, peaches, apples. For imported fruits and vegetables are indifferent and disbelief may well do without them. Ukrainians say, "SІM ro-poppy k1v not having given birth to the I robiv not starve."

As for dairy products, as a child who loved the milk and ate dairy foods more often, even adult consume dairy products with pleasure; who since childhood has not got used to the dairy food - was indifferent to it, but if the proposed dairy food, ate it with pleasure. Nearly all said that like to drink sweet tea (with sugar, honey, jam) with bread and butter.

The examined data from a survey of 400 soldiers with different blood groups on the one hand, lead to the conclusion: adult food preferences are determined by the so-called environmental factors, not genetics. On the other hand, there is no reason to believe that such information would have been obtained if studies were conducted among residents of large settlements. Perhaps it would reveal a certain number of individuals exhibiting partiality to certain types of food according to blood group.

As we see, the theory of the relationship with the blood group diet, put forward in recent years, American doctors are untenable. A common drawback of these theories is the position of the impact of prolactin (the proteins in the composition of food products), which, according to US scientists, causing serious harm to the body. This is contrary to the true physical and biological process of assimilation of food and energy production. It underestimated not only the mechanism of digestion, energy production in the cells of the body, but do not take into account the types of the nervous system (temperament), as well as the constitution and other conditions.
