I recently found myself wondering what my blood type was, it seemed like something you should know about yourself and for some reason I had no idea. So I headed to the local blood bank, got my finger pricked, was told I am B Positive and sent on my way. With this new found knowledge I decided to find out what this meant to me exactly and what the facts are behind this whole blood type stuff anyway. Here is just the tip of some of the amazing facts I unearthed…
Blood Type O is humanity’s oldest blood type, dating 30,000 years ago. The O actually stands for Old. This blood type has a digestive system that is like that of its ancestors and thrives on lots of meat. O Negative blood types are the universal donors, meaning they can donate to anyone no matter what their type is. O is also the most common of all blood types.
Blood Type A stands for “Agrarian” and dates back to around 20,000 years ago. This type is from the farmers and less “barbaric” people and should lean towards a vegetarian diet. Type A Positive is extremely common, with 1 out of every 3 people having it.
Blood Type B is slightly newer, dating back only about 10,000 years. Apparently they should avoid eating chicken as there is an agglutinating lectin in chicken that could cause several unpleasant conditions, such as a stroke. Type B is much less common than O or A, with B Negative being fairly rare at 1 out of every 67 individuals.
The very newest and fourth kind of blood type is type AB, which manifested about 1,000 years ago. AB is very rare with AB Negative only showing in 1 out of every 167 people. This is the only blood type that has formed from the consistent union of A and B blood types. They suffer the positive and negative traits of their parent blood types and should therefore aim for a vegetarian diet and lots of calming exercise.
In Japan they regard blood types as extremely important and use them to determine personality traits. According to this theory people with my blood type are the individualists and we find our own way in life. I am prone to agree with that one.
Everything I have learned about blood types, diet, personality traits and health concerns thus far has rung very true for me. I am amazed that more people aren’t aware of their blood type or the effect it can have on our lives in general. Does any of this ring true for all of you? Please share, I would love to know!
