The blood type diet: a relatively young eating style, it began to be talked about in 1996 starting from the idea of an American naturopath, Peter D'Adamo. A public success, if you consider that his book “Eat Right 4 Your Type” has sold almost ten million copies worldwide.
His idea is based on an evolutionary concept: on a biological level, the different blood groups – A, B, AB e 0 – would define different "micro-stages" in the evolution of the human species. Each of these stages corresponds, historically, to very different moments in human habits and customs, even at a nutritional level.
For example, if it is well established that group 0 is the most ancient, then it is easy to think that our ancestors who had that blood were essentially hunter-gatherers, accustomed to eating mainly meat and wild vegetables such as fruit and roots.
The other blood groups, which appear later, are linked to eras in which, however, man had already further evolved in his abilities and habits, arriving at cultivation and breeding, therefore consuming different foods from his predecessors.
Of course, we are no longer primitive and we have a vast availability of foods to choose from every day. However, what must an individual of each of the 4 blood groups do to follow this diet?
Here are some indications, again according to D'Adamo:
The premise is that there is, in reality, no scientific evidence that what D'Adamo claims is correct.
It is true, however, that those who undertake this diet often feel better: why?
Simply because, in principle, like any diet that aims to improve people's eating habits, the blood type diet is also based on universally correct principles, for example:
Moderation and common sense – and not some “magic” trick or dietary diktat – bring the best results in the long term.
