Why is Type ‘O’ Blood considered so Unique?

According to the American Red Cross, approximately 45 percent of people in the United States have type O blood. Of these, 38 percent are O positive and 7 percent are O negative. People with type O blood have some unique characteristics.

And this just in from Positive Med (www.positivemed.com):

People having type O blood naturally produce a greater amount of stomach acid. This factor features favorably for digesting proteins. The recommended diet for people in this blood type grouping entails consuming plenty of lean meats, fish and poultry along with fruits and vegetables. However, diets should include less dairy products, grains and legumes. Individuals should also avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages as these substances lead to an increase in adrenaline, which is already produced in abundance in type O people.

Exercise Recommendations

A diet high in lean protein, fruits and vegetables provides plenty of fuel for brisk exercise. If not already physically active, strive to work up to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three to four times each week. This type of activity offers full-body toning while enhancing cardiovascular and emotional health.

Active Sympathetic Nervous System

Japan and other Asian countries believe that there is a direct correlation between blood type and personality. The claim involves the presence and quantities of certain hormones that vary in blood types. Adrenaline and noradrenaline hormones signal the sympathetic system to go into a “fight or flight” mode.

With an abundance of these stimulating chemical compounds flowing through the blood of type O people, a variety of personality traits are possible. Individuals might be quick to anger, inappropriately overreact and have temper tantrums. Type O people might also display hyperactivity or exhibit manic tendencies. The hormonal issues and nervous energy may lead to demonstrations of destructive behavior when a type O person experiences fatigue, boredom or depression.

On the other hand, positive personality traits include loyalty, passion and self-confidence. Considered competent in their endeavors, type O people are also often successful leaders or innovators.

Is that unique or what?
