You probably should, just in case of an emergency. (Universal recipient? Score!) Plus, according to the buzzy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dadamo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blood Type Diet<\/a>, knowing your blood type is important for more than just your medical records. In fact, it suggests your blood type impacts which foods you need\u2014and which ones you don\u2019t\u2014for better health.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What\u2019s Your Blood Type\u2014And What\u2019s On The Menu?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your blood type is determined by tiny markers (antigens), which cover the surface of red blood cells. The most common (and likely most familiar) way of classifying these antigens is as follows: A, B, AB, and O. Type A has A antigens, B has B antigens, AB has A and B antigens, and O has neither A nor B antigens (which is why Type O\u00a0folks are universal donors but can only receive their own blood type).<\/p>\n<p>These antigens exist not just in the blood, but also in other cells throughout the body, including the digestive tract, according to naturopathic doctor Peter J. D&#8217;Adamo, N.D., Blood Type Diet founder, author of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.4yourtype.com\/eat-right-for-your-type-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eat Right For Your Type<\/a><\/em>, and director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/generativemedicine.org\/portal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center of Excellence in Generative Medicine<\/a> at the University of Bridgeport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biochemical makeup of humans varies greatly based on blood type,\u201d says D\u2019Adamo. According to D\u2019Adamo, our blood type affects our individual microbiome (and its defining characteristics, like the amount of digestive acid we have to the activity of our digestive enzymes) and therefore how different foods may affect us.<\/p>\n<p>Eating the \u2018wrong foods\u2019 for your blood type can produce digestive issues, sluggishness, and weight gain, proposes D\u2019Adamo, blood type dieters may experience improved energy and vitality\u2014and possibly weight loss when eating for their type<\/p>\n<p>The basics of The Blood Type Diet are as follows: People with type A should go vegetarian; Bs should avoid certain foods (including chicken, corn, and tomatoes), ABs should eat small, frequent meals and avoid caffeine and alcohol; and Os should up their meat intake and avoid grain, legumes, and dairy.<\/p>\n<p>As you can already see, many of the diets\u2019 recommendations center around which animal-based foods are or aren\u2019t recommended for your blood type. According to D\u2019Adamo, people with type A evolved to have low levels of stomach acid and high levels of intestinal digestive enzymes, which, together, make it difficult for them to digest animal protein and fat\u2014hence D\u2019Adamo\u2019s suggestion that As go veg. The other blood types, however, have evolved to better metabolize either all or certain meat types, he says.<\/p>\n<p>The diet also recommends certain supplements for each of the blood types, which can be found on D\u2019Adamo\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.4yourtype.com\/blood-type-vitamins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>. While some of the ingredients are staples for almost everyone\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/letter-vitamins\/N-cp99hy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamin K<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/calcium\/N-cp99i5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calcium<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/iron\/N-cp99i7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iron<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/minerals\/N-cp99i4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">manganese<\/a>\u00ad\u2014others are a bit more obscure. Think \u2018okra sprouts, bladderwrack seaweed, and gum tragacanth\u2019 level of obscure. (D\u2019Adamo\u2019s book The supplements range in purported function, from helping to optimize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/17\/metabolism-myths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">metabolism<\/a> to repairing damage done by eating any foods contraindicated for your blood type.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What the Science Says<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Blood Type Diet hasn\u2019t been proven to work\u2014but it hasn\u2019t been disproven either.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a 2013 review published in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/23697707\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Journal of Clinical Nutrition<\/a><\/em> concluded that, at that time, no existing studies on the protocol adequately investigated the effects of following versus not following the diet.<\/p>\n<p>Then, 2014 research published in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0084749\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PLOS ONE<\/a> <\/em>found an association between following a type A diet and cardiometabolic benefits, like lower body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Meanwhile, type AB and O diets were linked with some of those benefits, while no significant connection was found between the Type-B diet and improved cardiometabolic health.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note, though, that study participants weren\u2019t assigned to specific diets based on their blood types\u2014so the type A diet showed benefits across participants with A, B, AB, and O blood types. While the study suggests the type A diet (largely vegetarian) specifically may promote health, it doesn\u2019t support the idea that your blood type determines the foods you should and should not eat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this point, we can\u2019t make the necessary link that certain types of diets need to be followed depending on blood type,\u201d explains registered dietitian nutritionist Jessica Crandall, R.D.N., a spokesperson for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatright.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics<\/a>. She notes that most improvements in weight and health associated with the Blood Type Diet may be due to dieters becoming more aware of what they are eating as well as prioritizing consumption of whole foods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe diet really does focus on cutting out processed foods, which is great and can be beneficial,\u201d she says. However, according to Crandall, one of the diet\u2019s missteps is advising all dieters to avoid all wheat products. Celiac disease, in which a person has an immune response to gluten (the protein in wheat), only affects less than one percent of the U.S. population, according to a consensus statement from the <a href=\"https:\/\/consensus.nih.gov\/2004\/2004CeliacDisease118Program.pdf#page=40\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Institutes of Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/03\/17\/gluten-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What Going Gluten-Free Can And Can\u2019t Do For Your Health<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI recommend that anyone considering this diet works with a dietitian to determine if it fits your individual needs,\u201d says Crandall. \u201cI\u2019d want to know why they picked this diet, make sure that they get enough protein as well as vitamins and minerals, and also perform blood work to determine any areas where supplementation is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Blood Type Diet makes various nutritional supplements specifically for dieters, but Crandall urges that \u201cyour blood type isn\u2019t reflective of your blood levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/letter-vitamins\/N-cp99hy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/minerals\/N-cp99i4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minerals<\/a>, and, when it comes to supplements, more doesn\u2019t equal better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line: Talk to a professional before embarking on any diet. \u201cYou need to make sure that if you choose to follow a Blood Type Diet, you do so in a healthy way,\u201d says Crandall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/digestion\/N-cp99jm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out a number of supplements to support digestion.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does you blood type impact which foods you need\u2014and which ones you don\u2019t\u2014for better health?
