"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.

About the Author

Peter J. D'Adamo ND (bo
17 July 1956) is a practicing American naturopathic physician noted for his popular book series on the blood type diet. Co-authored by health writer Catherine Whitney, D'Adamo's books suggest that appropriate diet and lifestyle depend on an individual's blood type.

D'Adamo gained a Naturopathic Doctorate (ND) from Bastyr College, Seattle, in 1982, and works as a licensed naturopathic physician at the D'Adamo Clinic, based in Wilton, Connecticut. While studying for his doctorate, he decided to research the scientific basis of the work of his father, James D'Adamo, who authored the first books on the concept of blood group and diet.

In 1990, D'Adamo was awarded 'Physician of the Year' by The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. He is Adjunct Clinical Professor for both the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, Tempe, Arizona, and the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, Portland, Oregon.
