Understanding Your Body and Your Blood

Understanding Your Body & Your Blood: 1onOne w/ Damon Davis

Most of us try hard to create a good and healthy lifestyle. We eat well, we exercise, we get plenty of rest, and maybe we even take supplements to make sure our bodies get what they need. Why, then, do we still struggle with issues like fatigue, swelling, stubborn body fat, and pain?

The answer, it turns out, is surprisingly simple. Like it says in Leviticus 17:11, “The life of the body is in its blood.”

It’s in our blood. Seriously!

I recently had the pleasure of being joined by my friend, Dr. Joe Christiano, on the 1onOne show. Not only is he my friend, he’s also a celebrity trainer, nutritional counselor, and naturopathic doctor.

Dr. Joe shared with me his book, Blood Types, Body Types, and You. His book reveals the source of our physical ailments — our blood types and food interactions.

I’m no doctor and I don’t have room in a short blog post to share all that I learned, but here’s a breakdown.

• God designed our bodies to process foods in a certain way. The foods that benefit us are determined by our blood type: I’m talking A, B, O, and AB.
• In the same way that you wouldn’t transfuse type B blood to someone whose blood type is A, we shouldn’t eat foods that are incompatible with our blood type. This means we can eat as healthy as we can, but if we’re not eating correctly, our problems will persist!
• Blood Types, Body Types, and You is an incredible guide to getting your eating habits on the path to transforming your body and health.

Maybe by now you’re starting to feel confused. Aren’t diets supposed to work for everyone? The answer is no — not if what you’re eating is incompatible with your blood type! The foods we eat are supposed to do three things. They’re either beneficial (healing for our bodies), neutral (create energy for our bodies), or to be avoided (they’re incompatible with our blood type).

I want to share my personal experience with you that I learned from Dr. Joe and his book. I’m type O. I also suffer from swelling and pain, which doctors have suggested could be rheumatoid arthritis. That’s some serious stuff! Not only doesBlood Types, Body Types, and You coach you through redesigning your food choices, it provides recipes and shopping cards that you can take on the go! I discovered that my blood type needs things like beef and cheese, stuff that I enjoy but cut out because they’re not supposed to be good for me! On the flip side, I love cashews, but they’re incompatible with my blood type. This is some amazing stuff, gang.

So here’s the takeaway: No matter your situation, this book can help you! I encourage you to watch the full episode onlineand when it airs on Oxygen on Sunday, October 4 at 7:00 a.m.!

After you watch for yourself and hear Dr. Joe’s medical explanation, I know that you’ll be moved like I was to purchaseBlood Types, Body Types, and You. Start your journey to understanding your body’s needs to live the optimum life God designed for you to have!
