Blood Type And Pregnancy Diet – Life’s About Compatibility
from:When you think about the relationships in your life, compatibility is a major issue. When you don’t have similar interests or goals, there is no basis for a healthy relationship. Diet and your bodily systems operate on the same principles. Your circulatory system is a life giving system, and each person’s is unique to them. It is important to take this fact into consideration when you become pregnant. Your blood type and pregnancy diet can affect your health in many ways. Blood type and diet should be compatible. They should have the same goal of working together to create efficient bodily functions.
Nice To Meet You
Blood type is a measure of the presence or absence of antigens in the blood stream. Lectins are protein like substances found in food that interact with certain molecules in cells in our body. How they react is the key to a healthy immune system and the avoidance of multiple digestive problems. Digestive problems are a major complaint during pregnancy. Making sure your blood type and pregnancy diet meet and agree can reduce many common problems. Common problems during pregnancy include:
• Indigestion and heartburn
• Joint inflammations
• Increased stress levels
• Metabolism changes
• Weakened immune systems
This list does not begin to identify all the problems. Matching blood type and pregnancy diet guidelines can prevent or reduce symptoms related to these common problems. There are four blood types.
• Type 0
• Type A
• Type B
• Type AB
The antigens in each blood type react differently to the lectins in food. Too much of an antigen causes blood clotting, acid buildup and immune system deficiencies to name just a few problems.
A Perfect Match
To match up blood type and pregnancy diet guidelines, doctors have determined basic food guidelines for each blood type.
• Type O is primarily compatible with a diet of animal flesh and vegetables. You should eat lean beef and certain vegetables such as pinto beans or collard greens.
• Type A is compatible with a plant-based diet. You should eat steamed or raw vegetables, lentils, whole grains and berries.
• Type B is compatible with a varying diet. You should eat seafood, beef, lamb, oats and green vegetables.
• Type AB is compatible with smaller meals eaten more frequently throughout the day. It includes lamb, turkey and cultured dairy products.
Your blood type and pregnancy diet can help you insure that you remain healthy throughout your pregnancy and your baby develops normally. Maintaining a strong immune system is crucial. Preventing your body from fighting off unwanted lectins in food can possibly make the difference between days of sickness and a sickness free nine months. Like any diet plan, there are certain considerations. Even with Type O blood, you must watch how much animal fat you consume. Check with your doctor before changing to any blood type and pregnancy diet plan.
