Eat Right 4 Your Type Hardcover - 1996

by Peter J. D'Adamo; Catherine Whitney


Summary

"What would you say if I told you that the secret to healthy, vigorous, and disease-free living might be as simple as knowing your blood type," ask Dr. Peter D'Adamo and Catherine Whitney, and in Eat Right 4 Your Type, they shows us the simple answer.

If you've ever suspected that not everyone should eat the same thing or do the same exercise, you're right. In fact, what foods we absorb well and how our bodies handle stress differ with each blood type.

Your blood type reflects your internal chemistry. It is the key that unlocks the mysteries of disease, longevity, fitness, and emotional strength. It determines your susceptibility to illness, the foods you should eat, and ways to avoid the most troubling health problems.

Only recently have all the pieces of the scientific and clinical puzzle started coming together. Dr. D'Adamo has spent the past fifteen years researching the connections among blood type and exercise, food, and disease, and his research is built on thirty years of work done by his father.

In Eat Right 4 Your Type he shows:
which foods, spices, teas, and condiments help someone of your blood type maintain optimal health and ideal weight;
which vitamins and supplements to emphasize or avoid;
which medications function best in your system;
whether your stress goes to your muscles or your nervous system;
whether your stress is relieved better through aerobics or meditation;
whether you should walk, swim or play tennis or golf as your mode of exercise;
how knowing your blood type can help you avoid many common viruses and infections;
how knowing your blood type can help you fight back against life-threatening diseases;
how to slow down the aging process by avoiding factors specific to your blood type that cause rapid cell deterioration.

Eat Right 4 Your Type provides a clear, simple life plan that anyone can follow and suggests the easiest ways to determine your blood type and diet for your blood type. Here is a breakthrough book that will change the way we eat and live.

From the publisher

For over 20 years, Peter D’Adamo has extensively researched the connections between blood type, food, and disease.  Combining his findings with previously established research by other scientists in his field, D’Adamo published his first book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, in 1996.  The only book to offer individualized health and diet programs based on the differences between blood types, Eat Right 4 Your Type became a New York Times bestseller and brought worldwide recognition to D’Adamo’s blood type theories.  NutriBooks named it one of the ten most influential health books ever written.

D’Adamo’s next book, Cook Right 4 Your Type, is the kitchen companion for anyone on the blood type diet that includes recipes and 30-day menu plans for each blood type.  The third book in the series, Live Right 4 Your Type, offers readers a complete program for healthy living based on an individual’s blood type.  The Eat Right 4 Your Type Complete Blood Type Encyclopedia, published in 2002, is the ultimate one-stop source for information about ailments, food, herbs and supplements as they relate to blood type.  D’Adamo’s latest book, Eat Right 4 Your Baby, is a breakthrough blood type-based strategy for fertility, pregnancy, nursing and raising a healthy baby.

Named “Physician of the Year” in 1990 by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, D’Adamo currently serves on the Board of Trustees for his alma mater, Bastyr University, the nation’s leading naturopathic institution.  In 1999, respected industry analysts named Eat Right 4 Your Type, “One of the Ten Most Influential Health Books of the Century,” and Dr. Peter D’Adamo the “Most Intriguing Health Author of 1999.”  The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine hailed Eat Right 4 Your Type as the “Boldest of the New Books on Alternative Medicine.” An international phenomenon, Eat Right 4 Your Type, Cook Right 4 Your Type, and Live Right 4 Your Type have been translated into over 50 languages worldwide. 

D’Adamo is the founder and editor emeritus of the Journal of Naturopathic Medicine.  He maintains a small private practice in Stamford, Connecticut, and lectures around the world.  For further information, please visit D’Adamo’s award-winning website, www.dadamo.com.

 


Catherine Whitney is the author of several nonfiction works of popular psychology, health and personal growth, including The Tufts University Guide to Total Nutrition, winner of the American Medical Writers Best Medical Book of the Year.
