Farmer type: we prefer vegetables
Proponents of the origin of blood groups claim that people with the second blood group appeared as a result of the transition from a purely meat-based diet to a plant-based one. When, instead of hunting, they began to cultivate the land and grow vegetables, grains, and greens on it.
This is why vegetables and greens are so organically perceived by the gastrointestinal tract of people with the second blood group. They are easily absorbed and digested, do not accumulate as fat on the sides and waist, and saturate the body with useful vitamins and minerals.
Weaknesses in the health of people with the second blood group
They sometimes suffer from the fact that their immune system is too open to various infections. Therefore, immunity should be strengthened by eliminating heavy meat dishes from the menu, it is also advisable to constantly prepare drinks with ginseng, hawthorn, drink green teas, which have cleansing properties.
To exclude liver disease, gallbladder disease and metabolic disorders that provoke diabetes, people with the second blood group should eat properly and wisely, with the products recommended by the nutritionist and the principles of this diet. Namely, stick to a vegetarian menu rather than a meat one.
This will promote weight loss and improve the health of the entire body.
