Live Right 4 Your Type (Hardcover) This book in Brand new and has never been used.
The idea that blood type plays a role in health, wellness, and
personality wasn't exactly new when Dr. Peter D'Adamo came out with Eat Right 4 Your Type
in 1997. The idea had been around for most of the 19th century, and had
gained quite a bit of currency in Japan. But it was a startling idea to
most Americans, who made the book a bestseller that was translated into
more than 40 languages and spawned a similarly successful sequel, Cook Right 4 Your Type.
Now, Dr. D'Adamo--armed with new studies on genetic links between blood
types, disease, and behavior--looks at the psychological and medical
peculiarities that seem to predominate in one blood type or another.
Type O's, for example, have lower than average amounts of a brain
chemical called dopamine, leading to poor concentration, hyperactivity,
and temper tantrums. A's tend to manufacture too much cortisol, a
stress hormone that can lead to hypertension and has even been
implicated in Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Type B's and AB's clear
nitric oxide out of their systems faster, allowing them to calm down
more rapidly than other blood types when stressed. Dr. D'Adamo
offers detailed lifestyle modifications for each type, including
exercise programs, long lists of food to either seek out or avoid, and
suggested treatment of specific illnesses. Some of this gets pretty
arcane, including his recommendation of bladder wrack (a seaweed) for
ulcer treatment of Type O's. A big part of the appeal of this
book series is that anyone reading it can become a participant by
joining Dr. D'Adamo's blood-type registry at www.dadamo.com. Live Right for Your Type
is peppered with testimonials from these registrants, giving the reader
a sense that a true transformation in health, appearance, weight, and
well-being is just a few diet and lifestyle changes away. --Lou Schuler
