Doctors have dispelled the myth of the benefits of nutrition by blood type

The blood type nutrition method can be considered an anti-scientific theory, since at the genetic level, blood signs do not affect the absorption of nutrients by the human body. About this on June 15, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Pavel Trakhtman, MD, Head of the Department of Transfusiology at the Dmitry Rogachev Children's Medical Center and one of the experts of the +Ya donation project.

"The blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of red blood cells and does not affect the absorption of proteins, fats or carbohydrates," said one of the experts.

Doctors noted that in order to make up their diet, they need to rely on maintaining a balanced diet, taking into account age, gender, activity level and the presence of chronic diseases. Experts also suggested trying to use the so-called "donor diet."

"The day before blood donation, it is important to avoid fatty, spicy and smoked foods, as well as dairy products, eggs, avocados. These recommendations are the same for everyone, regardless of blood type, and are related to the fact that some products affect the properties of blood and may interfere with its separation into components," said one of the experts.
