Eeat Right 4 Your Type -P. J. D'Adamo

Hi every hold&new visitors,

last week I finished to read my last book: "Eeat Right 4 Your Type -P. J. D'Adamo" (italian title is L'Alimentazione su misura -P. J. D'Adamo), this book talks about the correlations that exist between the blood types groups and the food in general.
First of all, you should know I'm a very suspicious and diffident person toward all things that pretend to talk about science and don't use a scientific-like approach; maybe this come from my education, perhaps is just my way of thought... it doesn't matter.
However let's return to the book. In the first part D'Adamo talked about the history of blood types groups, he explains the differentiation that has brought to the actual family of blood types groups came from the genetic mutation that the environment cause to the people that living in. I fact we can associate to a determinate environment a determinate geographic configuration, climate and consequently types of plants and animals included the human race. All this aspects (and more other) has caused the differentiation that still now belong to our genetic patrimony and tell apart a person to another that haven't the same blood group. This distinction can be summarized in three fundamental points:

• Interaction between food and human organism;
• Personality;
• Way of life, intended like ratio between psychic & body.

This leads the author, in the second part of the book, to formalize a theory that want associate to a determinate blood type the right diet and a correct physical and/or psychic exercise for improve at best the potentiality of a person and secondary (for me) for diet loss. In this part D'Adamo drafts a detailed list of foods that a person who have a determinate blood type can or can't eat. After classified the type of food in macro-groups like cereal and derivate, fruit, vegetables, milk & milk products and eggs, spice etc. He divides the foods in three categories: beneficent (they have a positive effect on the person it's curative), indifferent (they haven't a particular positive or negative effect), to avoid (they have a negative effect on the person bring bad effects). At the end of the second part, D'Adamo suggests for each group a particular scheme to improve the psychic-physic exercise that a determinate person (associate to a determinate blood type) should follow for express at best own capability.
In the third and last part of the book, the author conducts an analysis that shows the relation between a variety of diseases and the blood type, he integrate this part with clinical cases that he has studied during his career.
I must confess that this book intrigue me to such point that I'm going to apply on myself for a period this type of diet in order to see if it works or not. Actually I must tell this diet for my blood type group don't bring a huge changes in my delicatessen habits. We'll see!
Before greet you I want to be grateful with Nicola (Pero) for his precious English advise and not secondary for his valuable point of view in all things that in this case it's realized in this good and interesting lecture and in general it's realized in bright chat. Many thanks Pero!
See you soon.
