Diet by blood group

The diet is based on the principles of naturopathic physician James D'Adamo, who says that blood type and human nutrition are closely related. The blood group diet is based on the premise that during the evolution of mankind the composition of the blood has changed and is closely correlated with the type of food consumed by the overwhelming majority of the population at a time. given.
