What does your blood type say about you? According to psychology experts, your blood type determines your personality, as well as how you love and what you should eat. While there's no scientific evidence to back up such claims, Japanese people have supported the theory for eons.
Type A: Farmers
The experts say that people with blood type A are fiercely loyal and tend to be a closed book. They are also introverted, self-conscious and may find it difficult to sleep.
Tightly wound, type As may not suit leadership roles, as the stress can wear them down. If you're a type A, you may also find a vegetarian diet beneficial. Ensure you eat a variety of fresh, natural whole foods and favour organic wherever possible.
Type B: Chameleons
While people with blood type B are creative, positive and friendly, people in Korea believe they aren't suitable for marriage! This is because they are considered to be self-involved and frivolous. On the other hand, type B personalities welcome others' opinions and aren't quick to judge.
Diet-wise, chicken should be avoided as it may lead to immune issues and heart problems. Otherwise, type Bs can enjoy a varied diet and exercise routine.
Type AB: Cool, Calm and Collected
If you're type AB, you may be popular and easygoing. That being said, you may also find it hard to forgive and may be judged by others to be slightly aloof.
When people pigeon-hole you, you may also break away from what's expected of you and forge your own path.
According to Dr Peter D'Adamo, type Abs can have weakened digestive systems and so should avoid pork, beef and chicken. They can, however, tuck into tofu, dairy and seafood.
Type O: Passion Meets Ambition
The experts say type O personalities slot seamlessly into leadership roles, as they are extroverted and passionate about various causes. They are also risk-takers, which is why people may see them as being ambitious and vain.
When eating, type O people can easily eat meat, chicken and seafood. While their digestive system is fairly robust, grains and breads may cause issues.
