If your keep these precautions in mind you are now ready to consider the Blood Type A Diet.
The A Blood Type is said to come from Asia and the Middle East. This diet is vegetarian (A as in agriculture), low in fats and rich in vegetables and grains. To diminish your risk of developing heart disease, reduce to a minimum your consumption of meat, especially red meat. Eat fish three or four days a week or choose low-fat meats or fowl.

Start the day off with a glass of hot water that may contain lemon juice. This diet comes with a large number of foods to eat and foods to avoid. Even among the favored food groups such as fish and vegetables there are plenty of items to avoid. For example, stay away from whitefish, herring, anchovies, catfish, and several other fish and seafood. Good choices include salmon, trout, snails, cod, sardines, perch, and mackerel. Red wine (in moderation) is recommended. Because people with Blood Type A a

For lunch enjoy a Greek salad with a slice of wheat-germ bread. Your mid-afternoon snack is a glass of pineapple juice. Suppertime means sliced raw vegetables, turkey meat balls with green beans and a soy yoghurt for dessert.
