Blood type I
According to scientists, individuals with blood type I are less prone to cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, their blood contains more cells for combating oncological diseases and infections. However, blood-type I individuals may suffer from thyroid inflammation, gastrointestinal tract issues, skin disorders, and allergies.
Blood type II
Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that individuals with blood type II have a significantly higher risk of developing stomach cancer—20% more than others.
Blood type III
Carriers of blood type III are more susceptible to oncological diseases, and their weakest link is the throat.
Blood type IV
People with blood type IV should be cautious about infections. Harvard scientists concluded that individuals with blood type IV face the highest risk of developing heart diseases—23% higher than others.
