The Blood Type Diet

Naturopath physician Peter D'Adamo's concept of blood type diet in his book of "Eat Right For Your Type" has taken the world by storm.

In a nutshell, your blood type defines what you can eat and how your should exercise.

From WebMD:

"If you're blood type O ("for old," as in humanity's oldest blood line) your digestive tract retains the memory of ancient times, says D'Adamo, so you're metabolism will benefit from lean meats, poultry, and fish. You're advised to restrict grains, breads, legumes, and beans and to enjoy vigorous exercise.

Type A ("for agrarian") flourishes on vegetarian diets, "the inheritance of their more settled and less warlike farmer ancestors," says D'Adamo. The type A diet contains soy proteins, grains, and organic vegetables and encourages gentle exercise.

The nomadic blood type B has a tolerant digestive system and can enjoy low-fat dairy, meat, and produce but, among other things, should avoid wheat, corn, and lentils, D'Adamo says. If you're type B, it's recommended you exercise moderately.

The "modern" blood type AB has a sensitive digestive tract and should avoid chicken, beef, and pork but enjoy seafood, tofu, dairy, and most produce. The fitness regimen for ABs is calming exercises."

Do you take it with a pinch of salt or religiously adhere to the suggested diet of your bloody type?

Here in Singapore, we also have alot of restaurants focusing on organic health food. Then, we have My Type Restaurant at Market Street.

The food at the bistro's not too bad. The prices are typical of what one would expect to pay for organic food.
