In class and in personal research, I have discovered that your blood type can actually determine what kind of food is best for you. For instance, according to the website that I found on the subject, people with Type O blood types should stay away from grains, beans and legumes. The reason for this is that a chemical reaction takes place between your blood and your food, due to proteins called lectins. These lectins, found in your food, affect your blood in different ways, depending on the type of food you're eating and your specific blood type. Therefore, if a certain lectin isn't compatible with your blood type, they begin to target organs-or other parts of your body-and agglutinate the blood cells there. Consequently, if you do not already know what your blood type is, it would be a good idea to find out. Here is a short list of things you can eat, based on your blood type.
Type O: meat, vegetables, fruit, fish
Type A: vegetables, beans, legumes, seafood, tofu, grains, fruit
Type B: meat (NO CHICKEN), dairy, beans, fruit, legumes, grains, vegetables
Type AB: dairy, meat, tofu, seafood, beans, grains, vegetables, legumes, fruit
