Blood Type Diet
- by Wikipedia
- an excerpt

The blood type diets are fad diets advocated by several authors, the most prominent of which is Peter J. D'Adamo.

These diets are based on the notion that ABO blood type is the most important factor in determining a healthy diet and each recommends distinct diets for each blood type.

The consensus among dietitians, physicians, and scientists is that these diets are unsupported by scientific evidence.

Eat Right For Your Type
- by Peter J. D'Adamo

Blood Type Diet

From: "Eat Right For Your Type" by Peter J. D'Adamo, N. D. (G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1996).

What You Can Eat on This Diet

What you can eat -- and how you exercise -- on this diet depends on who you are.

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, and legumes, 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.

How the Diet Works

D'Adamo rejects the idea that one diet fits all. With four unique blood types, why shouldn't we have four specialized diet plans, he asks. The right diet for your blood type comes down to lectins, food proteins each blood type digests differently, D'Adamo maintains. If you eat foods containing lectins incompatible with your blood type, he says, you may experience inflammation, bloating, a slower metabolism, even diseases such as cancer. The best way to avoid these effects is to eat foods meant for your blood type.

All foods fall into three categories on the Eat Right for Your Type diet:

Highly beneficial
Neutral
Avoid

Beneficial foods for your blood type act like medicine, neutral foods like food, while avoid foods "act like a poison," says D'Adamo. For example, type Os should steer clear of whole wheat and wheat germ because "eating gluten is like putting the wrong kind of octane in your car ... it clogs the works," D'Adamo says.

Health Wise ~ Work From Home Rules

My work place has a good work-life-balance. We're given the option to work at home when we are sick to safeguard the health of others as well as ourselves. And we're reminded again and again when this pops up periodically when we log on to our intranet.

1 John 4:11-18
New International Version (NIV)

[11] Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. [12] No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

[13] This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. [14] And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. [15] If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. [16] And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. [17] This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. [18] There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Baby Story
~ 1st Child's Reaction to 2nd Child

This has happened with our children. When we brought our son (2nd child) home, our daughter (2nd child) was initially so excited to see him. I was observing her. She was very loving (at first). She looked around and noticed that everyone was giving this little one all the attention. Then, her faced changed and she elbowed the poor boy. We were shocked even though we were half expecting it. Luckily, her small size did no big damage.

I wrote this yesterday,
Easter Sunday, 5 Apr 2015.

Happy Easter!

Today is Easter Sunday. The Christians believe Jesus died and came back to life. The Muslims believe Jesus escaped death. The Jews do not believe he is the saviour of the world. Nobody, today, in all honesty, can say for sure what really happened. We make our choice, and live according to the good we are being taught by loving one another as equals. We let the so called "experts" have their say, but we should know better.
