Going to have food? Just spare a few minutes! Which is your blood group? Surprised!!!
Well, this is the truth; blood group and food are very closely related. Recent studies have proved that every blood group serves a different food group. Therefore, we are not supposed to gorge on any food item placed before us.
When we take in food, it undergoes certain chemical reaction with the blood. Some tend to be beneficial, while some are toxic. However, some are both beneficial and toxic. Now let’s have a look at the suitable food items based on blood groups:
• “A” Group
Vegetarian food items are most suitable. Use of fresh vegetables is preferable. Vegetable proteins of beans and pulses help in giving them immunity from diseases. This blood group is most susceptible to heart diseases, cancer and diabetes.

Vegetables like cabbage, tomato, potato and sweet potato must be avoided, for these may cause gastric problems. Among fruits, it’s better to avoid mango, papaya and banana.
• “B” group
Variegated but balanced diet suits “B” group the most. They can take in lots of fruits and vegetables. Milk and milk products won’t cause any problem for them.
However, tomato won’t suit them. It is bound to cause stomach problems. They tend to gain weight on eating wheat, pulses and groundnut.
• “AB” group
