Bringing Blood Type and 40-30-30 Nutrition Together

Blood Type Compatibility:"Eat Right For Your Type" Developed by Peter D'Adamo, N.D.

• Every food (including beverages and herbs) contains protein lectins which our bodies are genetically programmed to accept or reject.

• When we eat foods incompatible with our genetic programming - our blood type - the lectins target an organ or bodily system and begin to clump cells in that area.

• This clumping process is called ‘agglutination and interferes with digestion, metabolism, and the immune system. 

• This process is directly linked to chronic conditions such as:

• Arthritis
• High cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Stress
• Weight gain
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Food cravings.

• “Live Right 4 Your Type" supports research being conducted in the field of Nutrigenomics; which is a field of medicine and research which looks at how we can manipulate gene expression through nutritional intervention.  We all have various inherited gene predispositions for various disease states, however, science now knows that we can manipulate whether that gene ever actually manifests itself by eating foods most compatible for our individual blood types.

• Selecting foods compatible with your blood type avoids this agglutinin process.  Selecting beneficial foods for our blood type facilitates optimal health:

• Relief from chronic health conditions
• Avoidance of premature mental and physical deterioration due to aging
• Reduce stress
• Lose weight
• Eliminate anxiety and depression
• Gain clarity and avoid ‘brain-fog'
• Discover foods that leave you feeling light and energetic not bloated and lethargic

40-30-30: "The Zone" by Barry Sears, PhD.

40-30-30= Insulin Control= ↓ Inflammation= ↓ Disease States=↑ Quality of Life

• Macronutrients combined in adequate ratios for optimal hormonal response.
• 40% Low Glycemic/High Fiber Carbohydrates
• 30% Lean Protein
• 30% Mono-unsaturated Fat

• 40-30-30 Nutrition was developed from research which indicated that we can positively manipulate the hormonal responses of food by combining macronutrients in the proper ratios at every meal. 

• This hormonal balance leads to insulin control and optimal production of good eicosanoids.  It's in this state of functioning that the body responds with:
  • Reduced internal inflammation
  • Reduced blood pressure
  • Reduced triglycerides and cholesterol levels
  • Increased fat loss
  • Increased energy
  • Increased mental clarity

Low Glycemic Load/ High Fiber  (Glycemic Index)

• The Glycemic Index (GI) of carbohydrates helps us to define what is a ‘favorable' or beneficial carbohydrate vs. an ‘unfavorable' carbohydrate, which we want to reduce in our diets.

• The Glycemic Index is a measure of the entry rates of various carbohydrate sources into the bloodstream.  The total glycemic load looks at a meal in its totality to determine the total ‘load' of insulin stimulating carbohydrate consumed at each meal.

• Low GI food items have a slow entry rate which helps ensure balanced blood sugar. 

• Balanced blood sugar equates to greater control of disease states, mental clarity, and even moods.

• There are three factors that affect the glycemic index of a particular carbohydrate

• Fiber content -  the more soluble fiber a food has = the slower the entry rate.
• Fat content -  the more fat that is consumed with carbohydrates = the slower the entry rate
• Structure of simple sugars - the more fructose a carbohydrate contains = the slower the entry rate.  This is because fructose must first be converted to glucose to enter the blood stream (a relatively slow process within the liver)

• The glycemic load, then, is the actual amount of insulin-stimulating carbohydrates consumed multiplied by its Glycemic Index. This reflects the reality that a small volume of high-glycemic carbohydrates has the same impact on insulin as a large volume of low-glycemic carbohydrates.  This gives us a more accurate reflection of insulin secretion than an individual food items GI index.

Personal Accountability

• These principles only work if the individual makes them work.  Perceptual changes of foods and how you approach them is the most critical component of achieving optimal health.  This can only be accomplished for you....by you.

• Everything you put into your body creates a response within your system,  only you can control whether it's positive or negative.

Please note: 

We strongly encourage everyone to keep your doctors informed of any changes to nutritional habits.  Adjustments to medications are often necessary as medical conditions improve with positive nutritional changes and weight loss.
