Review of: Eat Right 4 Your Type
by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo
Nutrition,
Blood Types & Depression In the book, Eat Right 4 Your Type,
Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo, a naturopath, explores the connection between
blood types, nutrition, exercise, supplements and risk factors
for disease. Dr. D'Adamo and his father, Dr. James D'Adamo, N.D.
have studied blood type information for over 40 years.
One
area of this research has been the connection that they have found
between nutrition, blood types and depression. Two of the blood
types that they have found a collation for are Type-Os and Type-Bs.
Type-O:
They have found in many of their case studies, that a deficiency
in Vitamin B-12 and folic acid in people of Type O blood can lead
to depression. They have successfully treated depression, hyperactivity
and ADD by increasing the amount of Vitamin B-12 and folic acid
along with a Type-O diet and exercise program. These vitamins
are responsible for the development of DNA.
Dr.
D'Adamo recommends that you ensure that the Vitamins be free of
any binders, fillers and to avoid a formula that contains yeast
or wheat germ. The foods high in Vitamin B for Type-O's include:
Meat Nuts Liver, Kidney, Muscle meats Dark green, leafy vegetables
Eggs (in moderation) Fruit Fish.
Type-B:
If a Type-B person has an imbalance of magnesium, there may occur
a risk of viruses, fatigue, nervous disorders and depression.
Re-balancing the calcium and magnesium levels helps. The foods
high in Magnesium for Type-B's include: Grains & Legumes Green
Vegetables - beet leaves, broccoli, collard greens, kale, mustard
greens, parsley, green peppers, Brussels sprouts
