Diet for 4 blood groups
"New people" - this is how people with group 4 are called in the blood group nutrition system. This type is considered the youngest in the evolutionary chain - hence the name.
Note that people with blood group 4 (AB) are the smallest - about 7-8%. Carriers of AB blood have a sensitive digestive system and weak immunity. Their diet should contain foods necessary for the normal functioning of the heart muscle, since these people are prone to cardiovascular diseases. These products include primarily dried apricots, raisins, bananas.
For thermal processing of products, only gentle methods should be used: boiling in water and steam, baking, stewing.
For greater effect, the diet can be combined with moderate physical activity. Aerobics, speed skating, swimming are best suited.
Benefits of a 4 blood type diet
The main advantage of the diet is its effectiveness for weight loss. This is due to the fact that the diet contains only low-calorie foods prepared by dietary methods.
The creators of the blood group nutrition system claim that this diet is favorable for people with cardiovascular pathology.
Disadvantages and contraindications of the 4 blood group diet
According to many nutritionists, the blood type 4 diet is too restrictive, making it difficult to formulate a balanced diet. This can create difficulties for long-term compliance.
The "New People" diet is contraindicated for those who have chronic diseases, expectant mothers, lactating women, as well as children, adolescents and the elderly.
Before starting a diet, you should consult your doctor.
