| Live Right 4 Your Type
seamlessly follows the path paved by its phenomenally successful
predecessor, NY Times bestseller Eat Right 4 Your Type. New data looks
at the importance of "secretor subtype" as a refinement to the theory
and the use of blood type genetics to help understand the mind-body
connection. Extensive new food lists and prescriptive recommendations. "In Live Right for Your Type, Dr. D'Adamo looks at the psychological and
medical peculiarities that seem to predominate in each blood type. Type
O's, for example, have lower than average amounts of a brain chemical
called dopamine, leading to poor concentration, impulsivity, and
hyperactivity. A's tend to manufacture too much cortisol, a stress
hormone that can lead to high blood pressure and has been implicated in
Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Type B's and AB's clear nitric oxide out
of their systems faster, allowing them to calm down more rapidly after
stress. Dr. D'Adamo offers detailed lifestyle modifications for each
type, including exercise programs and long lists of foods to either seek
out or avoid." -Amazon.com (12/18/00) |
